Last Updated : 28-May-2004 by
The 24-year-old Anfield marksman feels that the national team now have the right blend of youth and experiemce to claim an elusive trophy in Portugal.

Owen said: "We are definitely in a better position than two years ago because we're virtually the same squad, but we're two years wiser.

"We have got a lot of experience in the team and I think that is going to stand us in very good stead.

"All our main players are between their mid-20s and 30, the perfect age to go and win a tournament.

"All the successful teams are at their peak and have played together for a long time and I certainly feel this England squad is the same now."
