A Squad For All England

Gareth Southgate has done a tremendous job and led England to their first final since ‘66: Southgate himself had missed a penalty in 1996 when England last lost a European Championship semi-final, and already was England’s manager when they lost to Croatia on penalties in the World Cup semifinal 2018.

“This is not just any England squad. This is a squad for all of England.

“I was always more passionate about my club than country, but this England team has stirred me like no other”

(Jamie Carragher in The Telegraph)

Gareth Southgate and his players are playing Italy in the final at Wembley on Sunday, and this English national team can go all the way!

C’mon England!
