England did not Come to Play the Quarter Finals
England's best success in the World Cup is the 1966 World Cup. English won the trophy at home. After 13 more World Cups, England could not play the final even once. However, he has played in the semi-finals twice, one of which was in the last World Cup in Russia.
Not much was expected from this young team at the World Cup in Russia. However, Harry Kane reached the semi-finals by matching himself. He reached the finals of the Euros last year. However, that dream was broken by losing to Italy.
Since Gareth Southgate took charge of England, England has become a contender for the title even if it has not won the title. Before the match against France in the quarter-finals, England captain Harry Kane reminded that once again. He said in the press conference that they came with the confidence of winning the title.
Opponent France is in great form. England are still confident. Because, they are also playing comfortably. They have conceded only three goals so far. In contrast, he scored 12 goals in four matches. In the press conference before this match, Kane was able to say confidently, "We are not here to play the quarter-finals." The match against France is not the World Cup final, but it is a big step towards winning the World Cup. Our focus is on that, we will try our best to go to the next round.
The England captain feels that his team is more confident in the World Cup in Qatar than in the World Cup in Russia. He said, 'After reaching the semi-finals in 2018, everyone was flying in the sky. But we had faith to win the tournament? I think not. I think the belief (of winning the title) has been building for four or five years and still is. We came into this World Cup with the confidence to win the title. This time we are much more confident than in Russia.
