Gareth Southgate believes England have the winning mentality to beat the world champions - and insisted they are not ready to go home.
The Three Lions boss was bullish ahead of England’s World Cup quarter-final with France as he believes the players are ready for the biggest win of their careers. Southgate says he has seen the whole squad grow throughout the tournament - and insists they are equipped to go all the way this time.
Southgate said: “The biggest thing for me in the game is going to be our mentality. Of course, we'll be tactically prepared. But on these nights, you’ve got to have men that stand up and take on the challenge. That’s the bit that we’ve got to prove to people.
