    More from former England winger Chris Waddle talking to BBC Sport ahead of the Denmark friendly: "There's going to be somebody who will gatecrash the party and a lot of players will feel this is their opportunity to do that.

    Former England international Chris Waddle speaking to BBC Sport about England v Denmark: "If you had to ask a million people will England win the World Cup this summer, I'm not sure anyone, apart from the most patriotic, would say yes.

    "If the youngsters play well, they will have the media and the fans on their side. People will be saying take the youngsters to Brazil so we can make a really serious challenge to win Euro 2016 in France.

    "If it was me, I would do that and say get them ready for France. I don't think Roy Hodgson should be judged on what happens in Brazil, he should be judged on how we do in France."
