Harry Redknapp believes England have the best defence at Euro 2012 and says England could create a shock at the tournament.

The Spurs boss, writing his first column for Betfair after being appointed their brand ambassador for Euro 2012 says the back five will be key and he "wouldn't swap them for any other unit".
Redknapp, who was the favourite to succeed Fabio Capello as England boss before Roy Hodgson was appointed, is bullish about the nation's chances and says they should not be written off in a fascinating article.
He sees their opening game in Group D against France as being tight and does not expect England to concede more than one goal.
He said: "Steven Gerrard and Scott Parker sitting in front of that defence makes us very tight and I can't see the French breaking us down more than once. They've got great players but let's not overdo it. We can win this group and if we do that, I fancy us to reach the semis."
Redknapp, who took Spurs to a top four finish in the Premier League last season, will be taking part in a live Q&A on Twitter from 12:30pm on Thursday 7 June. Football fans can follow @betfairsports to take part, and use the hashtag #AskArry to submit questions.
