Asserting that England has no chance of winning the 2018 FIFA World Cup, legendary striker Gary Lineker said that current coach Gareth Southgate should give youngsters a chance to gain experience for future tournaments.

"Not great. I don't think the expectations should be very high. Gareth Southgate's a sensible guy. I think he could sell it to the nation that this is just one for experience. Play some of the young players," Linekar was quoted as saying by the Independent on Friday. "If we got to the quarters, I think that would be a really good achievement," he added.
