Chelsea and England midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek said on Sunday that his side "killed the game" in the first half where they scored five without reply in their win over Panama.
England blew Panama away 6-1 in their second Group G match and sealed their place in the round of 16 having beaten Tunisia 2-1 in their first match at the World Cup in Russia.
"It was a really good win for us. We did a really great performance, especially in the first half. We killed the game in the first half... We’ve been spending a lot of time on set pieces, and it’s good to see it coming out on the pitch great," Loftus-Cheek told journalists.
England will face Belgium on Thursday in a match that will decide which of the teams wins Group G. The two teams currently top their group.
"We need to prepare for game against Belgium as we have done for the previous two... We want to put up a good performance for the fans. If we could get a win, that would be great. We are not scared of anyone," Loftus-Cheek added.
The 2018 FIFA World Cup kicked off on June 14 and will continue until July 15, with the matches being played in 11 cities across Russia.
