Wayne Rooney last night admitted he has started to dream of winning the World Cup.
He was among the scorers as Kazakhstan were thumped 4-0 on Saturday to give England six wins out of six in the qualifiers and move them to within touching distance of South Africa.
With Andorra up next at Wembley on Wednesday, Rooney said: "Of course I think about the World Cup. It's the biggest tournament in the world and we're one step closer."
Victory in Almaty took to 20 England's Group Six goals tally and leaves Fabio Capello's men two wins away from guaranteeing a place at next year's finals.
England are now fourth favourites behind Brazil, Argentina and Spain and Rooney said the belief in the squad that they can be world champions was growing, particularly with so many scoring options available.
"If we win on Wednesday it will be a massive step and then there are the qualifiers in September and October and we can get there," said the Manchester United striker.
"You love to play in a big tournament. The two I've played in ended in big disappointments. Hopefully we can qualify and win something with this team.
"Four different scorers against Kazakhstan - me, Gareth Barry, Emile Heskey and Frank Lampard - was good for the team. There are a lot of players who can score for us."
