On many occasions, and I don't remember which bitcointalk threads it was, but there were many who did not trust England's performance at all, of course because of what they had shown in the Nations League, which for me is not a significant thing because in It is obvious that they do not play 100%, in fact all the European teams did not look very good, because they played with their bench, the coaches were looking at who they could summon for the World Cup, apart from the fatigue of their leagues, the players come of a process, of a very different concentration, all these things influence, now England has many possibilities to go as far as they want.
I am actually very impressed with England's performance, they are one of the strong candidates in this edition of the World Cup. The Three Lions have shown their quality to reach the quarterfinals. It must be remembered that England were Euro 2020 finalists and now Southgate has been able to improve the performance of this team to be more prepared in this tournament. The proof is that the performance of English players is very qualified, their attack line is also one of the sharpest to date and Southgate has many alternatives to carry out his strategy on the field.
Yes, there are many things that can happen, in fact I am very surprised to learn that David Beckham is one of the official sponsors of the World Cup in Qatar and that he was very well received by the England coach giving him a shirt in his honor, of course, We all know the track record he has, and how they want him on their team, so I imagine he's an icon for many players on the team and boy, I'd like to see more of Beckham taking those free kicks he always did, these things make the oral of the English team goes up more and they come out more motivated, the majority grew up admiring it.
However, it caught my attention that when Messi published a photo on his twitter of when he was a child, Beckham put him as "The King", it seemed like a great gesture from the English, because it is something that he himself admits is the best of the world.
