England have been far from impressive at the World Cup finals since their 1966 triumph, but the Three Lions are still seen as a favourite to win the 2010 World Cup by many, including Slovenia coach Matjaz Kek.

"England can win it, they have a lot of the best players in the world in their team. They're good tactically, have good players and have good discipline. England are one of the best teams in the world and that's why they are one of the favourites for the tournament,"said Kek to Press Associated Sport.

"They have individual quality and now that has been turned from individual quality into team quality. They are a strong team now and that has been down to Fabio Capello.

"The World Cup only comes around once every four years and I don't know how many of these players will be available in four years. For a lot these players it will be the last chance to win something with the team and this, I think, will be great motivation for the English players to do well."
