An Ashley Young strike ensured Roy Hodgson got off to a winning start as boss and England now have one final warm-up game against Belgium before they travel to Poland and Ukraine.

But Fulham man Hangeland feels the strains of the Premier League season are beginning to show ahead of the tournament opener against France on June 11.

"It's a good England team, but they look a little worn out after a long Premier League season," the Norwegian told reporters.

"I felt the same thing. It's not a good preparation for the Euros to play such a long and tough season as you do in England.

"Even if it was a friendly you could see that the English players need a break."

The 30-year-old expressed surprise at the amount of possession his side enjoyed on Saturday and warned it does not bode well for England's chances this summer.

"It's unusual that a Norwegian team has so much possession," Hangeland said.

"Normally we play defensively and wait for the opponent to make a mistake, but it was the other way around.

"We caused England problems when we played the ball quickly. If you play the ball quickly from right to left and from left to right, you get opportunities for crosses.

"Sweden have a good chance against them at the Euros because they have Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who can do something with all those crosses."
