Playing the world champions is a test we need, says keeper Hart
Up for the challenge: Theo Walcott is looking forward to taking on Spain

'We're a good team and a good football nation. We have to be at tournaments like this and we will go into it feeling very confident. We're hoping for a successful campaign.'

England are likely to have a one in four chance of drawing Spain in the Euro 2012 group stage next year.

Hosts Ukraine and Poland will be top seeds, along with UEFA's two top-ranked teams, expected to be Spain and Holland, with England likely to be among the second seeds for the draw in December.
