 John was Trinidad and Tobago's lone striker against Sweden |
Trinidad and Tobago striker Stern John says his team could cause a surprise when they play England in Nuremberg. Their goalless draw with Sweden was one of the shocks of the tournament so far and John says they could repeat or even improve on that display on Thursday.
"We know the England game will be very tough but we ground out a result against Sweden and hopefully we can build on it," he said.
"We won some fans in our opening match and that was important."
Defender Brent Sancho, who stood in for the injured Marvin Andrews, also rates their chances following their exploits against Sweden.
"No-one expected us to get a result against Sweden but we always believed in ourselves. Who knows what can happen now?" he said.
"Getting a draw against Sweden is the biggest moment in our footballing lives but hopefully it will get even better in this tournament."
