\n For the second consecutive summer, Reece James is in North America trying to win a global tournament. He hopes to see England rise to the challenge of facing the best teams in the world, just as Chelsea did a year ago.

James captained us to glory in the Club World Cup, and there will be a sense of d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu when he arrives at the New York New Jersey Stadium for England\u2019s third group game against Panama. That was where we triumphed against Paris Saint-Germain \u2013 and it will host this final of this summer\u2019s tournament, too.<\/p>\n
Having missed out in Qatar four years ago, James wants to make an impression this time around, as he told us in an exclusive interview before setting off for the States.<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019ve always wanted to play in a World Cup,\u2019 says our skipper.<\/p>\n
\u2018The last one I didn\u2019t make, it wasn\u2019t meant to be that year, and I\u2019m excited for what\u2019s to come in the future.<\/p>\n
\u2018It\u2019s always a better vibe when there\u2019s big stakes on the line and you\u2019re playing against the best teams in the world.\u2019<\/p>\n
