But he stressed it should have little relevance over what could unfold during the next month in Qatar. Southgate, 52, said: "It is hard to talk about form because you are always six weeks, two months between games in international football, so what actually is form? "What there is, is pedigree. We want to be a Germany, who when I was looking at their Wikipedia page: four golds, four silvers, four bronzes. "European Championships — three golds, three silvers, three bronzes.
"Yes, our page didn't quite look like that but we'd love it if it did in 40 years' time and that should be our aim, to be consistently challenging. "We remind ourselves of the privilege of being here and the uniqueness of it. Only 16 England teams have ever been to a World Cup. "A lot of the staff and players are at their second. Raheem [Sterling] is at his third. You have to remind yourself of this moment in time. "Tournament football is different. Germany have always been one of the prime examples of that.

” He added: “It has not been a great period for England for a long time, probably since Gareth took charge we have not had a spell like we have had. “In a way before a major tournament that can be a good thing because it allows you to not get carried away. “If we won every game in the lead up to this tournament it would have been ‘we are guaranteed to win it’ and that comes with a different pressure. “Being judged on major tournaments is the main thing and the last two we have had have been good and we have a great confidence in ourselves we can go and have a good tournament in Qatar. ” Is it coming home? A World Cup supercomputer has predicted the outcome of the tournament - and it isn't great news for England.
Despite leading his nation to a World Cup semi-final in Russia four years ago and last summer's Euro 2020 final, the Three Lions' roll of honour on Wiki is embarrassing in comparison. Southgate goes into today's Group B opener against Iran on a run of six games without a win after a shocking Nations League run.
