Roy Keane has fellow pundits in stitches over England morale verdict

Roy Keane had Gary Neville and Ian Wright in stitches as he offered a trademark response to England's feel-good hopes at the World Cup.

The trio of pundits were speaking about the spirit and morale within the England camp on ITV, after Wright himself had visited the squad and played darts with midfielder Declan Rice.

And as Wright and Neville hyped up the England mood, Keane wasn't buying into it, reports the Irish Mirror.

He said: "They've obviously had a good start. Six goals...

"I never believed all that nonsense. I never heard a manager or media saying there is a bad spirit in the group. There should be after the first game, and after three or four games away.

"They look fairly happy. They're having a game of darts and they are going to be upbeat.

"Most importantly they are here to win football matches. We will see if they are laughing in a few weeks."

Fans enjoyed Keane's quip with one saying: "Roy's punditry is a show on its own within a show. Absolutely PPV material."

While another said: "The legend that is Roy Keane."

Fellow pundit Neville joked: "It's the mood of the nation."
