Can England keep going to the well and pulling something out? For all the criticism Gareth Southgate’s side have received, it’s a testament to their mental fortitude that they’ve fought their way to the last eight without playing remotely well.
Here’s what Southgate told Uefa:
We showed great resilience and great character to keep going right until the end, and I think we deserved a draw in the 90 minutes. When you get the goal so early in extra time, you’re able to be in charge of things a little more.
We have to get ourselves back to the mental stage we were in before the game [against Slovakia]. Where whatever it takes to win, you’ve got to be ready to go. You’ve got to be ready to go right to the depths again.
