Arsenal ace Van Persie says England capable of successful Euros

Arsenal's Dutch ace Robin van Persie feels England can go to the Euros with penalty of confidence.

The Dutchman says England's youthful squad can shine in Poland and Ukraine this summer.

"England are a very good team," Van Persie told arsenal.com. "They were a bit younger but they played well and they are a very good side. They have a massive chance of playing well in the Euros.

"Both teams played well. To be fair they scored in the 90th minute, we had one last attack which was a bit lucky in the end and pulled it back. It was a nice win, five goals, a good game of football and everybody is happy.

"It was a very useful [warm-up game]. Everybody showed that, everybody was committed and there were a few good tackles in the game."
