Fabio Capello has admitted he is becoming spoilt for choice in his role as England boss.
The Three Lions came from behind to record a 2-1 win over Denmark in Copenhagen last night, Ashley Young grabbing the winning with his first international goal midway through the second-half after Darren Bent had levelled Daniel Agger's early opener.
That the win was achieved without Rio Ferdinand, Steven Gerrard and Andy Carroll made it a more notable achievement, leaving Capello to look ahead to next month's Euro 2012 suddenly having options in front of him.
"There is big competition now and it is not easy for me to choose," said the England boss.
"There are some new players. Andy Carroll is a new player. Jack Wilshere is a new player. Theo Walcott is back.
"I saw the spirit of the team, and that is really important for us."
Where Wayne Rooney comes into the equation is open to debate.
The Manchester United man's lacklustre 45 minutes was put into context by Young's arrival as his replacement.
Deployed in his club position for the first time in an England shirt, Young buzzed around dangerously, proving the most difficult visitor to pin down.
"In this position Young is really good because he is free," said Capello. "He can run where he wants.
"He has to defend as well but he is really fast, technically good, and dangerous for the opponents."
Capello also declared himself satisfied with Jack Wilshere's contribution, even though the 19-year-old was overshadowed by Denmark's wonderkid Christian Eriksen on his first England start.
"He played well. It was not easy in the first half because Denmark pressed and ran a lot, but Jack played with a lot of confidence," Capello said.
"I am happy with that performance. But now have to wait for a month because all the players have some really important games, not only in the Premier League but in the Champions League too."
Eriksen's performance was outstanding. The teenager dominated the first-half and produced a couple of exceptional pieces of skill after the interval even though he, like his team, tired.
"They are two good players," said Denmark coach Morten Olsen, when asked to compare the relative merits of Wilshere and Eriksen.
"They are two different kinds of player. Wilshere is more a defensive player, but another player coming from behind with good technique and a good view of the game.
"Eriksen showed today that he has the level he played against for Ajax against Juventus and AC Milan.
"It was important he showed that against good players like those in the England team.
"Maybe the English players didn't know about him before, but now they do."
