England Under-21 manager Stuart Pearce says Ukraine will be under more pressure

"Ukraine under pressure, says England U21 boss Stuart Pearce when they meet in the European Championship on Wednesday."

England drew 1-1 with Spain in a opening Group B game in Denmark, while Ukraine lost 2-1 to a Czech Republic and Everyone's going into the second group games with slightly different mentalitie said Pearce.

Ukraine are probably under a touch more pressure for we have knowing they've probably got to win both remaining matches and Pearce insisted that his side deserved their opening-game draw, which came courtesy of Danny Welbeck's late equaliser after Spain had dominated for long periods in Herning.

As a team we defended very well said Pearce and i know which team was going to go on and win the game when it went to 1-1 and i will ask the question for how many other nations would've thrown the towel in? Maybe in the 87th minute, when they're losing 1-0 and the opposition are keeping the ball very well.

If spirit and confidence for anything to go by England go into Wednesday's match against Ukraine in good shape and the Jack Rodwell is worthy of a starting place and will hope success here in Denmark can be the highlight of what has been an injury-hit season.
