Gareth Southgate declares England will be "disappointed" not to reach World Cup final

England manager Gareth Southgate has said his players will be "disappointed" if they don't make it to the World Cup final after their recent tournament achievements.

Southgate, who took over in 2016, is set for his third major tournament with the national team. He led the Three Lions to the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup in Russia before reaching the final of Euro 2020, where his team lost to Italy at Wembley.

The 52-year-old is set to name his squad for the upcoming tournament in Qatar, with England due to face Iran, the United States and Wales in the group stage. A match against holders France could await as early as the quarter-finals, but Southgate has spoken of his squad's experience and what it might mean.
