Other countries should fear England at World Cup, says Declan Rice

reached the quarterfinals of the World Cup for the second tournament in a row after a 3-0 victory over Senegal on Sunday.

Under Gareth Southgate, England has been criticised for their style of play but they are the top scorers in the

with 12 goals.

After the game,

claimed that England is not getting the credit they deserve for their performance and that other teams should fear them.

"I'm delighted. It was a real top performance,"

Rice said.

"There was a lot of energy, some great goals. We knew Senegal posed a massive threat but we shut them down and now we march on.

"I've said it all along – we've not been getting the credit we deserve with our performances. If you look at other teams, like the Netherlands and Argentina, they win their games comfortably and it gets called a masterclass, but with us it always gets picked off.

"If you look at our last couple of games we've been faultless. Other countries should be fearing us now.

"I think we're starting to silence the critics. Going into the tournament there was always a lot of talk that we don't score enough goals - again, that's another one we've kept people quiet on. There was scrutiny around the defence and conceding goals but it's been solid so we're going to keep building and pushing."

Rice did add:

"We're building a solid foundation and it's down to us now – there's no point being buzzing about tonight if we can't push on and beat France."

The 19-year-old Jude Bellingham has been one of the standout players for England at the World Cup and played a key role in two goals they scored in the first half against Senegal.

"He's thriving on the main stage,"

Rice said of the 19-year-old.

"It makes me happy to see that, when you've got a player like that who is so strong and athletic, creating the chances he's creating.

"He's been doing it for Dortmund all season and is now doing it for us. It was a real collective team performance from us tonight all over the pitch, magnificent."

Rice also was asked about facing France and Kylian Mbappe who is the World Cup’s top goalscorer with five goals.

Rice said:

"These are the game we want to play in. England versus France quarter-final – it doesn't get bigger than that. We've got six days now to prepare, we know the world will be watching and we want to progress."
