Kompany: England will be hard to beat

Belgium captain Vincent Kompany has claimed that England will be tough to break down at Euro 2012 after his side's 1-0 defeat at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.

Kompany, who was ruled out through injury before kickoff, watched on as Danny Welbeck netted the only goal of the match for the hosts.

"Can't see England walking over teams BUT I can't see top teams breaking them down either," he tweeted. "Two chances one goal like today gets results...

"England has become a well organised unit. Not dominant but efficient. I actually have a lot of faith in that team."

England travel to Poland and Ukraine on Wednesday ahead of their opening fixture against France on Monday, June 11.
