England going to Euro 2016 to win, says Hart

Joe Hart says there is no point in England going to Euro 2016 without the conviction that they can win the tournament.

Roy Hodgson's side qualified with a perfect record of 10 wins from 10 and will face Russia, Wales and Slovakia in Group B in the finals in France.

Hart, however, insists the team are full of confidence heading into this year's tournament.

"We'll have to go for it. We've got three weeks to mould ourselves, know each other inside out and be ready to hit the ground running," he told BBC Sport.

"We believe it, there's no point going if we don't. But there's a difference between thinking and doing. 

"We'll have the confidence and the backing we need but the main thing is to go there and perform.

"No team will be picked around the future. It's all about now. We're ready for this tournament, we'll have plenty of support. I want us to win the tournament."
