David Beckham has hailed England’s strength in depth and is feeling excited and confident that they are closer to winning a major tournament.
Former England midfielder David Beckham claims he is excited with the squad depth and believes the Three Lions are closer to winning a major tournament.
Southgate team kicked off their World Cup campaign with an remarkable 6-2 victory over Iran and Beckham is hoping for more of the same tonight.
The legendary former England captain said: “I’m really excited. The England team are in good shape.
“We had a great start to the tournament and the lads are feeling good, they are looking good.
“The atmosphere is great between them all and the fans are feeling that so fans are reacting to that. The excitement will now be building towards this game tonight.
”It’s well documented that England haven’t won a major tournament since 1966, but they are getting closer having reached the semi-finals of the last World Cup and the final of Euro 2020.”
Asked if England have a great opportunity in this World Cup, Beckham replied: “Yeah we have. It is a great opportunity for many of the players.
“You saw the other night, we have a strong starting eleven but it is not just about the starting eleven – we have a strong bench.
“When you see Jack [Grealish] and when you see Phil [Foden] come off the bench, those things are important in a tournament like this and I am excited about tonight.”
