England's search for a first World Cup crown since 1966 kicks off on Monday evening with a Group G encounter with Tunisia.

"You will spur us on because there are going to be down moments in games. That's where we need to stick together, not just as a team but as a nation."

Rashford also believes having the whole country behind England can offer a crucial boost to Gareth Southgate's side.
