England Take On Denmark in Pre-World Cup Encounter

The World Cup is less than 100 days away and that means the teams that have qualified are coming towards the end of years of preparation. England are no different. Tonight they take on difficult opponents Denmark as they attempt to finalize their squad. This will be the last chance for players to impress for their country before the World Cup squad is announced. Denmark are a tough international team and could be the ideal opponent for England's World Cup preparation.

Although this game offers no relevance in the grand scheme of the World Cup, it's very important for the players. If they fail to impress in this game they will have to impress manager Roy Hodgson in the few remaining games for their club teams. With that in mind, and little to lose, England will look to put in an electric performance. Fans are used to seeing a slow, tactful style, but attacking football impresses those watching and it looks like Andros Townsend and Luke Shaw will look to deliver that against Denmark.

It's likely Roy will use this game to test both his preferred starting eleven and to try different things too. It looks like he will start with his strongest team, but in the second half it seems he will rest some of the key players and see who can make an impression in the latter stages.

Who will win this friendly, and can England surprise the world and have a successful World Cup, or will they fall short as they've done in previous attempts?
