James Milner has warned his England team-mates "actions speak louder than words" as they go in search of a place in the World Cup last 16.[LNB] The Three Lions have failed to shine in their opening two World Cup matches, drawing with both USA and Algeria, and anything less than victory against Slovenia could see them suffer an early exit.[LNB]Milner, though, is confident they will cope with the pressure and deliver the goods in Port Elizabeth.[LNB]"Actions speak louder than words. To win the World Cup you must win the big games. This game is in our own hands," he said in The Sun.[LNB]"We've just got to concentrate, enjoy our football and play with freedom.[LNB]"It's hard to get that club unity at international level but it's growing.[LNB]"We've been together for nearly a month and we are now unified."[LNB]Milner is likely to start against Slovenia after being hauled off before half-time in the 1-1 draw against USA.[LNB]Reflecting on his World Cup debut, Milner added: "You don't expect your first match to last just 30 minutes.[LNB]"It was just poor timing being ill three days before."
