Sunderland's Larsson hints that England could be overrated

Sunderland midfielder Sebastian Larsson has hinted that the England national team might be a touch overrated.

The 26-year old Sweden international is preparing to take on the Three Lions at Wembley Stadium tomorrow night and indicated that he feels the team perhaps is rated slightly higher than they should be.

"If you look at the players that they've got, they should be up there amongst the favourites for each tournament they've been in," said Larsson.

"But, at the same time, the pressure might become a little bit too much.

"Maybe they shouldn't be the top favourites for each and every tournament, the way they're maybe pictured to be in England sometimes."
