The Euro 2020 football tournament witnessed an exceptional performance from the England team. Each player showcased their top-tier skills, propelling the team towards the coveted title. The team’s success was largely attributed to their star players, including Harry Kane, Phil Foden, and Jadon Sancho. Their contributions transformed England into an unbeatable force, bringing them closer to the championship title.
The stellar performance of the England team in this tournament demonstrated the players’ readiness to deliver their best football and compete for the title. Despite their commendable performance in recent major tournaments, the elusive title remained out of reach. However, seasoned English defender Harry Maguire is determined to change this narrative. He firmly believes that anything short of winning the next European Championship would be a disappointment.
Maguire, a key player in Gareth Southgate’s team, has represented his country in 54 matches. He was also part of the team that reached the quarter-finals in the Qatar World Cup, only to be defeated by France.
Previously, England had come close to securing the title in the 2018 World Cup and Euro 2020. They were runners-up in the European Championship after reaching the semi-finals in the World Cup in Russia. Recently, England secured a 2-1 victory over Italy in their first Euro qualifier. Their next match is scheduled for the upcoming Sunday against Ukraine.
Ahead of this match, Maguire shared his ambitious aspirations for the team. The 30-year-old Manchester United defender expressed their readiness to learn from past mistakes and clinch the title. He stated, “I think we have the players to win it (Euro 2024). ‘If we don’t win the tournament, it will be a failure.’ So far I’ve been to three major tournaments and I’ve come very close (to being the champion).”
