England legend Stuart Pearce thinks the current Three Lions squad are ready for glory.

Gareth Southgate's squad face Denmark in the Euro 2020 semi-finals at Wembley on Wednesday.

Pearce told The Sun: "They have the same fire and will to win we had back in '96 — but this squad is stronger with even more world-class players.

"I'm sure we have enough to beat the Danes — and Italy or Spain in the final — but we should steel ourselves for two tight, tense and nerve- jangling games if we go all the way.

"People said I was passionate but I see the same spirit in every single one of that squad and it will take a hell of a lot to stop them now at Wembley.

"I have the honour and the pleasure to work with some of these lads when they were younger and can tell you that they will give absolutely everything they have for their country.

"They're as proud as I was to wear the shirt and are blessed with incredible talent which is blossoming at exactly the right time."
