Declan Rice says England have silenced their doubters after a dramatic win over Germany at Euro 2020.
The Three Lions claimed their first knockout win over Germany since 1966 to reach the quarter-finals.
West Ham United midfielder Rice told BBC One: "It's incredible, a lot of people had written us off in the group stage.
"Complaints about the performances, not scoring enough but we want to put people wrong, with a full house everyone had the fire in the belly to one, knock Germany out and two, progress in the tournament.
"Maturity comes in, you have had a yellow card and you have to stay composed and focused.
"Raheem Sterling is proving so many people wrong, scoring so many goals. Harry Kane is made for the big occasions, scored the goal that put the game to bed."
