The team has competed in a total of 15 World Cup final stages in its previous history, and they won the final title at the 1966 World Cup hosted by England itself, the only World Cup title the team has won so far. In the 2018 World Cup in Russia, England ranked second in the group stage with a score of 2 wins and 1 loss to advance to the knockout rounds, in which they defeated Colombia, Sweden, and finally lost to Croatia, the dark horse of the World Cup, and the team achieved the fourth place result.
England manager Gareth Southgate made 57 appearances for England as a player, scoring 2 goals. He participated in two World Cups in 1998 and 2002 and two European Championships in 1996 and 2000. Southgate's style in the player era is tough and defensively stable; Southgate in the coaching era is good at thinking, actively studying advanced techniques and tactics, he has a clear tactical idea, if there is a problem, then only the players can adapt to the tactics; He is a manager with a modern football mindset.
The biggest star in the England squad at the moment belongs to Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane, who scored six goals at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, helping England reach the final four and personally winning the World Cup Golden Boot. He is worth as much as 90 million euros, which is currently the most expensive player in the England team; This Qatar World Cup, england's core lineup or the previous World Cup lineup for the team, but they also in some positions have been replaced by the old and new, its core lineup of about a third of the players from Manchester City, the change in the midfield line should be the biggest, the new stars Declan Rice, Calvin Phillips, Mount and Foden and other people are participating in the World Cup for the first time, they have added some fresh blood in the lineup, the goal is naturally to create better results.
In the 2020 European Football Championship, England team will go all the way to the final, but in the end, unfortunately lost to Italy in the penalty shootout, ranking second, but it is enough to see that their strength has entered the top ranks, I believe that this time they will not be satisfied with the goal of the top four, how young players can withstand the huge pressure in the big game to play their due strength, may be a big problem that "SouthGate" leads the team to achieve good results.
