Moldova boss Caras gives his side little chance of beating England

Ion Caras has given his Moldovan side very little chance of defeating England on Friday.

The world's 123rd ranked side take on Roy Hodgson's 14th ranked Three Lions at Wembley in a World Cup qualifier and their manager Caras does not believe there is much chance of an upset.

"I am very happy to be here," Caras said. "There have been a lot of great players and great teams in this world who have never had the luck to play in this stadium but we are now amongst the lucky ones to play an official game in this stadium.

"I was talking about the lucky parts of the draw but the bad one is that the other team, England, are far too good for us, unfortunately. In football a lot of things are possible and both teams have their chances.

"I do realise that our chances are very, very small - that is hard to accept but it is like this. We will try very hard, I will tell you that, but we will see the outcome on the pitch."

He added: "Maybe some other teams, the ones who are a bit closer to the level of England, would be able to cause them trouble but I don't think we will be able to do this."
