San Marino manager Giampaolo Mazza has revealed that he can't wait for his side to take on England at Wembley.

England are huge favourites to defeat a country that only has a population of 33,000 people, but Mazza has insisted that he will tell his side to play without fear on Friday night.

Mazza told The Sun: "I met Roy Hodgson a few days ago at a conference in Warsaw. He wished us good luck over our tournament.

"To play at Wembley will be amazing. I remember the match in 1993 when we scored after 8.3 seconds.

"When I speak to the players just a few minutes before kickoff, I will tell them to have no fear."

San Marino lost 6-0 to Montenegro in their opening match of their World Cup qualifying campaign.
