England's Southgate optimistic about winning Euro 2024

England's men begin their quest to win a major tournament for the first time in 58 years against Serbia on June 16 before facing Denmark and Slovenia in Group C. The Three Lions have come agonisingly close to glory under Southgate before, losing the Euro 2020 final on penalties to Italy.

England also reached the 2018 World Cup semi-finals and last eight of the 2022 World Cup. "Are we one of those teams who can win? Of course," said Southgate. "I'd be an idiot if I said no, but if I said yes, that doesn't mean there's not a lot of work ahead of us.

"They know what is possible, they know what they've won at club level and what that's taken. You can see cup football, you have to navigate game-by-game."
