Denmark coach writes off England's chances at World Cup

Denmark coach writes off England's chances

Denmark coach Morten Olsen has written off England's chances of winning the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

The 64-year-old aired his views following his side's 1-0 defeat to the Three Lions in a friendly international at Wembley on Wednesday.

"Good luck in the World Cup. You'll need it," he told reporters. "I think that England have a young team with a lot of quickness.

"It's promising for the future, but if it's enough for the World Cup? I think we would have won if Christian Eriksen was playing tonight."

Daniel Sturridge scored the winner for England in the 81st minute.
