World Cup schedule

Before the semi-final between England and Croatia began, Gary Lineker stepped down to the grass court Luzhniki and took a picture with a face full of confidence, joy. Lineker's mood is understandable. It's been a long time since the time when Lineker was playing for England, the Three Kings roared on the international stage.

Then, with the exception of EURO 1996 being held at home, England went to big tournaments with stellar stardom as stagnant competition and only brought anger, frustration for the fans. The English Premier League has started to develop and the appeal of fans for international matches has dropped.

Apparently, the World Cup 2018 of the Three Masters ended a month ago, right from the time it was not started. Because, like before the big tournaments, no one believes what he will do in Russia. Even generations of talented players have failed to make sure that a youthful squad will go away in the 2018 World Cup.

British fans from excitement to anxiety, disappointment, swearing

A few months ago, social networking has surfaced in the English debate. There are views that international football is no longer important to England. The fact is that England fans are tired of the matches of the Three Masters, the boring match that never brought the team of fog land to anywhere. That is the key to the disconnection between England and the public. In the opening match of England at the 2018 World Cup, less than 2,000 British fans were present to cheer for the team.


But Southgate and his students quickly filled up the hurdles. In four weeks, Southgate's army has brought glory, charm, progress and hope. The trio ended their dream of losing to Croatia in 120 minutes in the semi-finals, but there was no pain. Only the regret, the feeling has long paralyzed the English fans every time watching the home team play in the big league.

And now, English football gives people something to trust. They have a talented "Southgate" chief architect, a youthful and capable team that can grow in the future. He has the next generation worthy of the U17, U20 World Cup champion in recent years. EURO 2020 will be the next target for English football.

Football, then home! It's coming home!
