Scott Parker: 'San Marino a difficult match'

Scott Parker says that England's match with San Marino will be a difficult one.

England midfielder Scott Parker believes that his side's World Cup qualifier against San Marino on Friday will be a difficult match.

The Three Lions, who are fourth in the FIFA World Rankings, travel to face the 207th-placed minnows in their Group H clash, before meeting table-topping Montenegro in Podgorica on Tuesday.

However, the Tottenham Hotspur man believes that England's encounter with San Marino is not an obvious match for him to shine in.

"You would like to think a more defensive player like myself would be needed less against San Marino than Montenegro," Parker told Sky Sports News. "It will certainly be a different game but also it will be a difficult one.

"San Marino will have 11 men behind the ball and will camp in to make it hard for us to create chance.

"Our focus will be breaking them down, getting the three points and moving on to Tuesday."

Parker has also made it clear that he has his sights set on a place in the England squad for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, should they qualify.
