Having reached two semi-finals during his tenure England manager Gareth Southgate says he and the team will have failed if they miss out on the Last 4 of Euro.
Southgate’s side defied expectations to reach the 2018 World Cup semi-finals. They have been drawn with Croatia, who beat them in the semi-finals of the World Cup, the Czech Republic and old rivals Scotland.
They will have home advantage in playing all their group games at Wembley. “Yeah, it probably will,” said Southgate when asked whether falling short of the Last 4 would be a failure. “I think we’re realistic about that, we have to live with that expectation. Are we ready to win? Well, we’ve been to two semi-finals so the next step is to try to go further.”
