As part of OneFootball's collaboration series with Shoot Music we're interviewing an artist about their love of football and, over the next few weeks, it will be all about the World Cup.

This week it's grime legend and England fan, Dizzee Rascal.
How exciting has the World Cup been so far for you?
There's been amazing goals scored. It's been exciting seeing how competitive the teams are and the fact that they've made it a bigger tournament with more teams. It's nice to see teams like Cape Verde and Curaçao get so much attention.
What are your favourite World Cup memories?
The 1994 World Cup was one of the best tournaments in history: Roberto Baggio's missed penalty, Colombia's keeper [René Higuita] doing the scorpion kick and seeing Brazil in top form.
How are you feeling after England's opening game against Croatia?
It was so good to see them come back so effortlessly after conceding the equalisers. It's nice to see the team gel so well with each other.
If England are to go far this year, which one player do you think will be key to that success?
I don't think it's one key player, I think it's the team. The players are playing really well with one another.
Who do you think will win the World Cup?
Obviously I want England to win! Argentina and France are looking world-class right now, as are the Netherlands.
Dizzee Rascal's latest single 'All Night' is out now. His new album 'We Want Bass' is set for release on September 4th.
