By Riath Al-Samarrai Follow @@riathalsam It may all end in tears, but there is enough of Paul Gascoigne in Ross Barkley to suggest it is right for England to give youth a chance at this year’s World Cup. That is the view of Gary Lineker, who thinks the touch and confidence to try the audacious has seemingly passed from the man who lit up Italia 90 to a 20-year-old who is one of England’s brightest hopes heading to Brazil. Lineker is convinced the youthful combination of Barkley, Adam Lallana and particularly Raheem Sterling represents England’s best hope of surviving Group D.
