Harry Redknapp has claimed that England are capable of winning Euro 2016 next year, adding that if the Three Lions don't make the semi-finals, they "ought to give up".
Roy Hodgson's set-up has seen the emergence of a number of hot prospects in the last few months, including Ross Barkley, John Stones and Harry Kane.
The former Queens Park Rangers manager told talkSPORT: "England has got three or four young players emerging now in time for Euro 2016. Roy [Hodgson] will have a team that can really compete.
"I would be disappointed if we don't at least get to the semi-finals and then I could see us having a real go at winning it.
"If we don't win the Euros we ought to give up because it's the best opportunity we're going to have. It's a really good group at the moment."
England last reached the semi-finals of an international tournament in 1996.
