San Marino manager Giampaolo Mazza reveals he will tell his players to face England without any fear.

San Marino manager Giampaolo Mazza has revealed that he can't wait for his side to take on England at Wembley.

England are huge favourites to defeat a country that only has a population of 33,000 people, but Mazza has insisted that he will tell his side to play without fear on Friday night.

Mazza told The Sun: "I met Roy Hodgson a few days ago at a conference in Warsaw. He wished us good luck over our tournament.

"To play at Wembley will be amazing. I remember the match in 1993 when we scored after 8.3 seconds.

"When I speak to the players just a few minutes before kickoff, I will tell them to have no fear."

San Marino lost 6-0 to Montenegro in their opening match of their World Cup qualifying campaign.
