Notts County chief Sven Goran Eriksson says Fabio Capello's England squad is stronger than the one he had at the 2006 World Cup.

"It is stronger now. I am sure about that," he said.

"They have a lot more mature players, who are at exactly the right age.

"A lot of the important players have already been to major tournaments. That is bound to help as well. I just hope they can be successful."
