Roar of the Three Lions: England march on

Previous England men’s teams were also blessed with similar talent but some of those incarnations will not have found the ability to keep going. England hooked both Harry Kane and Phil Foden, the former, their record men’s goal-scorer, and the latter, the reigning Premier League player of the year, for Watkins and Cole Palmer. Southgate, who has now led England to two major finals and one semi-final across six years, the most any coach has done in the men’s team history, has come on record to speak about his ideal tournament team. In 2008, a swashbuckling Netherlands team had won all three group-stage games with a rare swagger including a for the ages takedown of then world champions Italy 3-0.
