Sven-Goran Eriksson declared that in his opinion, England's soccer team is capable of winning Euro 2016. He also hopes that the media will not place too much pressure on Roy Hodgson's team.
According to Four Four Two, since reaching the semi-finals at Euro '96 under great expectations, England have often experienced difficulties on the big stage. They are unable to progress beyond a major tournament or the quarter finals.
England's soccer team has qualified for June's tournament with a 100 percent record of 10 wins from 10 matches. Following Saturday's international friendly match, which ended with a 3-2 comeback win over Germany, England's prospects increased further. As the tournament in France draws closer, Jamie Vardy, Harry Kane and Eric Dier are all on target in Berlin, with just 17 caps between them.
The former England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson is now in charge of Shanghai SIPG in the Chinese Super League. He has previously guided England's soccer team to consecutive quarter-final berths at the Euro 2004, as well as 2002 and 2006 World Cups.
Eriksson thinks FIFA 2016 could be the ripe time for England to shine again. He declared that the pressure on the English soccer national team has always been very big. However, the pressure has gone now during the last two years since the team got a log of young players and improved.
According to Eriksson, the qualification campaign was brilliant, giving hope that England will make it to the final stage. England's soccer team has been drawn for Euro 2016 in Group B alongside Russia, Wales and Slovakia. On Tuesday, England will face Netherlands at Wembley in a friendly match.
According to Daily Record, England can win the European Championships in 2016. The team has shown that they are capable to win during its last two games over France and Germany.
