David Beckham has vowed you will see an even better England when the team take on Trinidad & Tobago on Thursday.
The Three Lions kicked off their World Cup campaign with a 1-0 victory over Paraguay in scorching heat in Frankfurt.
The conditions didn’t make it easy to play the kind of football that Beckham knows his team can produce. But he believes fans will see a steady improvement as the tournament goes on.
He said: “ We know we can play better. I just think that once the heats dies down it will help. We play the next two matches at a different time of the day, at 6pm and then 9pm, and that will make a big difference.
“You have to bed in at any tournament and it’s not often we’re in this position where we have won our first game. We have had a good start and we have to look at that and be happy."
Kisses for fans
Beckham delighted
Beckham will be delighted this morning as he studies the table in Group B with England sitting proudly at the top. And that makes yesterday's result against Paraguay look even better.
He said: “We set off to get three points. We knew it was going to be tough at times because Paraguay have got some quality in their team but it's what we set off to do - get three points in the first game.
“Every good team when things are not going well has the ability to keep clean sheets and to win games and that's what you have got to look at.
“The good thing for us is that so often those kind of games can end 1-1, but we defended well and we held on. We could have kept the ball a bit better but we’re happy. Now it’s on to the next game.”
