Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice has rejected criticism of England's Euro qualifying campaign.
England sign off with a final match against North Macedonia this week having already qualified.
Rice said: "I think the level of the team now is ridiculously high. People can say whatever they want.
"Italy [in] both games [we] dominated them. We had Ukraine away, we drew.
"We are in a good space mentally, physically, the way the manager has got us as a group together. You know we really do believe we can achieve special things. I think we are in a good spot as a team, I don't think there is any need now to be negative."
