England caretaker coach Stuart Pearce feels he's ready to lead the nation at the Euros after defeat to Holland.

Pearce was undeterred even if the result promises to increase the clamour for Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp as the permanent boss.

"I've offered my services in the summer,' said Pearce. 'I'm not auditioning for anything. The staff and players have been focused and their attitude has been excellent. I couldn't have asked for more.

"When I put myself forward, I said I had the experience to take the team to the finals and that it would not be daunting at all.

"After that, I don't have the experience for this job. I would only be buying the FA some time if they've not got someone in time. The full-time manager of England is certainly not me."
