NATIONS - Gareth Southgate eyes World Cup glory
TRANSFERmarketWEB.com
Gareth Southgate has urged his England players to win the World Cup to atone for their agonizing defeat in the Euro 2020 final.
After a 1-1 draw in the final at Wembley in July, Southgate's team was denied in a devastating manner as Italy won on penalties after a 1-1 draw.
He understands that winning the World Cup in Qatar next year is the only way to silence the naysayers and erase the terrible memory of Italy hoisting the title on English soil.
Only 53 days after that dramatic final loss, England's path to Qatar begins with a qualifier in Hungary on Thursday.
"We probably need to win a World Cup final," Southgate said. "Nothing else is really going to compare to the level of the game we were involved in and the unique circumstance that being involved in a final brings.
"We had two years of having to reflect on a World Cup semi-final and whatever we do in the next 18 months has got to be towards leading us towards challenging in a World Cup."
