Roy Hodgson says his England team will be "brave" at the World Cup and wants to see his players express themselves on the pitch.
The Three Lions boss guided his side to Brazil with an unbeaten record in their ten qualifying games, which also saw them score 31 goals with just four against.
They booked their place on the plane to South America in style with two entertaining Wembley victories in October against Montenegro, winning 4-1, and Poland, winning 2-0.
“We won’t try to sneak our way through the games.”

And Hodgson, who was speaking live on talkSPORT's Drivetime show, expects to see more of the same this summer.
“The way we will play in Brazil will be a continuation of the way we have been trying to play over the last year or so," he said.
“The introduction of many of the younger players has given us a lot of pace and given us an injection of technical ability.
“If you take the front players who played in the last game; Raheem Sterling, Daniel Sturridge, Danny Welbeck and add them to people like Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard, just to name five players off the top of my head, they have great technical ability, pace and athleticism."
He continued: “I, as a manager, don’t have any concerns about the team’s attitude and the way the team will play.

“We will be brave and we will believe in ourselves and we will risk defeat. We won’t try to sneak our way through the games. With the type of players we’ve got that wouldn’t suit us.
“I think we’ve got to allow the players to express themselves in the same way as you see them express themselves in the Premier League.”
England open up against Italy in Manaus on 14 June in what is a repeat of their last Finals tournament fixture two years ago.
The Three Lions went out of Euro 2012 on penalties to the Azzurri, following a 0-0 draw, earlier on in Hodgson's reign as boss.
And he is convinced this time around it will be a different situation altogether.
"We are more than capable of playing on a level playing field with Italy these days," he said. "I don't think it's very fair to make comparisons between the England team today and that quite weary England team that worked very, very hard through 120 minutes.

"I thought we showed some fantastic qualities and they did well to play 0-0 against Italy at that stage in the tournament."
Hodgson added: "Hopefully when we go into the first game against Italy we won't be in that situation, it will be very different.
"I'm rather hoping that we'll have a team on the field that's capable of asking a lot of questions of the Italians, just as I'm sure they'll ask questions of us.
"We can't expect to go on the field and them to admire our play, but we don't feel we need to concentrate all our efforts on containing them."
