The team of Gareth Southgate has behaved well on the field of play and has not been flagged for a yellow card. They could win the FIFA Fair Play award at the conclusion of the competition if they maintain this record.
In the quarterfinals, England will play the reigning champions France.
Recall that Gareth Southgate encouraged Marcus Rashford and his England teammates to take more shots at goal in the second half of their 3-0 World Cup victory over Wales on Tuesday. Southgate was pleased with how Rashford responded to his half-time team talk.
All three goals were scored after his halftime speech, with fellow Mancunian Phil Foden’s maiden championship goal coming on minute 68 and Marcus Rashford scoring a beautiful free-kick before smashing home past goalkeeper Danny Ward.
