After heartbreak at the 2018 World Cup where they lost in the semi-final, England will look to end their title drought at the Euro and will try to win their maiden title.

By reaching the UEFA Nations League semi-final in 2019, England had a great run at the Euro qualifiers and won 7 of their 8 games. 

Gareth Southgate was handed over the managerial duties for England in 2016 and became a hero to England fans when he guided the Three Lions to their first World Cup semi-final in 28 years

The English squad is loaded with superstars like Jadon Sancho, Jordan Henderson, Harry Maguire, goalkeeper Dean Henderson and others but the one to watch out for is Harry Kane. The Golden Boot winner at the 2018 World Cup, the talismanic striker is integral to Southgate's plans despite the emergence of an exciting crop of youngsters.

England is yet to win a Euro title and has never reached the final stage either. Their campaign has ended at the knockout stage thrice. They are placed in Group D along with Croatia, Scotland and the Czech Republic.

Moreover, as strange as it may be but the 3 Lions haven’t won a tournament since the 1966 World Cup, nor have they even reached a final. the Euro 2020 provides an opportunity to change that but nothing would come easy.
