Joe Cole: 'It's our time'
Posted Saturday, June 26, 2010 by PA
Joe Cole has revealed his displeasure at England's 'Golden Generation' tag but believes they may finally live up to it by winning the 2010 World Cup.
Midfielder Cole feels the title is undeserved given England have failed to win a major tournament with that group of players, but Cole believes this is "our time" regarding England ahead of Sunday's last-16 meeting with old rivals Germany.
"We don't like to be called the Golden Generation. That was put upon us," he told BBC Sport, but he conceded: "You always think you can do it, but this time I think it's our time and we can do it if the country believes."
