England is gonna play next Wednesday vs Spain. The former eurochampions think everything is goona be so easy. May be the don´t know The Pross.
Rio Ferdinand believes England's friendly against Spain on Wednesday will provide a yardstick to determine the national team's current standing on the world stage.
The Spaniards are the No1-ranked team in the world after winning the European Championship last summer, while England failed to reach the finals in Switzerland and Austria, but have since shown improvement under the new manager, Fabio Capello, by winning their opening four World Cup qualifiers.
And Ferdinand believes England can take that form into Wednesday's game in Seville. "It's a massive test. We all know the qualities of Spain; they obviously won the European Championships," said the Manchester United defender. "You only have to look at the names on their team sheet and it is full of quality. They have some of the best players in Europe, if not the world.
"But you don't fear playing anybody. We play for England and we know we can beat anyone on the planet. Recently we have played France, Germany and Croatia who people say are the top-ranked teams in Europe, if not the world. To add Spain to that list will give us a good pointer." Yeah!!!
