The World Cup winner has emphasized that the Three Lions carry the threat of proving destructible in the European finals.

Europe’s finest international sides will come together in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032 later this month in order to compete for the European title.
Football purists and experts all over the world have expressed the belief that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 are likely to face a number of difficulties in their Euro campaign.

stage in recent years.
The side, which won the World Cup once in its history, did not qualify for the last edition of the coveted competition. Not watching their team play in the Euro 2008 certainly broke the hearts of many supporters worldwide.
Later on, the Three Lions made a number of improvements. They were able to reach the quarter-final stage of the FIFA World Cup 2010 in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/South-Africa-c757, after which they suffered a loss of 4-1 at the hands of Joachim Low’s men.
Xavi has insisted that the Englishmen have the quality required to take them to the final of the Euro and even emerge triumphant from it.
The midfield maestro also went on to draw England’s comparisons with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011, and exclaimed that the two sides are not that different.
While talking to reporters, the 32-year-old was quoted as saying:
"England are a good team who have had problems with coaches. They could win it. England have players from the top level, and a side with a balance of young and experienced players. England intrigue me.”
“England are how Spain used to be. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 are the same: very good players but I don’t know what goes wrong. I don’t know why England can’t get past the quarter-finals this time around.”
England will face http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 in the first match of their Euro 2012 campaign on June 11th.
