He further stated that the three Lions should expect challenges when they come up against Europe top teams.
“That’s when I think it could get difficult for England – when you come up against a France, Portugal or Belgium – one of those top teams.
He added that the England team is full of quality worries about the lack of experience that will hit the team.
