England manager Thomas Tuchel does not rank his team among the favourites for the World Cup ​but believes they are in good shape heading into the tournament and can "dare to dream" about lifting the trophy, Reuters reported. 

Most bookmakers have England among the leading title contenders but Tuchel reckons the six-decade drought since the nation's solitary triumph in 1966 counts against them.

The German likened England's quest at the June 11 to July 19 tournament to a player without ​a previous title turning up at the Wimbledon tennis championships.
