Man Utd legend Charlton fears for England national team

Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton admits he fears for England's national team.

A World Cup winner in 1966, Sir Bobby despairs of England ever lifting the trophy again.

"When I'm asked about our prospects, I always feel obliged to say we've got a chance, but really it's a fool's errand,' he said. 'If so many places in Premier League teams are taken up by foreign players, we've got no chance.

"Spain are absolutely my favourites for the finals in Brazil. Heaven forbid, but Germany are in with a chance as well, because they are so well coached, and Holland seem to be re-emerging as well."
