Phil Foden believes England are enjoying “great times” and is relishing being among a wealth of attacking options, even if they mean he is not a certain starter at Euro 2024 iloilo
The Manchester City forward started England’s 3-1 win over Italy at Wembley on Tuesday night as the hosts secured qualification to next summer’s finals in Germany iloilo
The Euro 2020 runners-up will no doubt be among the favourites to win the tournament after another strong showing throughout the qualifying campaign iloilo
“These are definitely great times for England,” said Foden iloilo
“We’ve reached a final now and we want to keep doing that iloilo
We’ve had a taste for it and we want to be in the big games and the big occasions and we’ve got experience on the pitch to do that so we are enjoying it iloilo

I thought our defensive work was really good iloilo
When you come up against the likes of Italy you’ve got to defend sometimes because they have a great quality iloilo
“We showed that throughout the game, not just attacking, but the defending side as well so I’m delighted with the result iloilo
That’s where we want to be, beating these big teams so we are really happy iloilo

“Bukayo is a quality player, every time he puts on an England shirt he is at least a seven out of 10,” Foden told BBC Radio 5Live iloilo
“He is a fantastic player and it’s exciting, because we’ve still got big players to come back and help us as well iloilo
“So it shows the depth of the squad and, if I’m not starting, I want to come on and try and change the game, so I’m here to help the team as best as I can iloilo

In the minutes after a thrilling, thumping quarter-final in Marseille, the Stade Velodrome DJ reached into his record collection and plucked out some early Eighties Elton John iloilo
It felt like an appropriate soundtrack iloilo
On a weekend where Wales, Ireland and France faded away, England – somehow, some way – are still standing iloilo
Talk of a hemispheric shift proved premature, with a southern sweep elsewhere leaving Steve Borthwick’s side the only unbeaten outfit left in this odd World Cup iloilo
A team that once never could have hoped to win now find themselves in the final four; the Six Nations’ hopes at this tournament rest, almost unfathomably, with England iloilo
Not that one would expect too many Welsh, Irish or French supporters to seek comfort in an embrace of white cotton iloilo
For France and Ireland, particularly, it will rankle to have used the last four years so brilliantly to build a contender and find that it is England’s rushed construction that has endured iloilo
There is still every chance that Borthwick’s new-build comes crashing down once subjected to a Springboks storm, but so far England have proved, just about, up to code iloilo
RecommendedFrance suffer painful symmetry with Ireland as Springboks continue southern dominanceOwen Farrell silences critics as England survive Fiji fightbackWounded warrior Dan Biggar bows out to usher in next Welsh generationAfter the best rugby weekend in recent memory, the prospect of a couple of damp squib semi-finals, sadly, looms iloilo
But World Cups can be strange beasts, and England are already summoning the spirit of 2019, when they rose to meet and beat the All Blacks with a high-water mark performance that England still have not come close to reaching again iloilo
A common theme among the recollections of the semi-final week four years ago was the clarity and certainty with which England approached the game, knowing on Monday or Tuesday that a final place would be theirs iloilo
The job for Borthwick, an assistant then, is to imbue that same sense of conviction in a similar group now carrying significantly more mental scarring iloilo
Of course, it was South Africa themselves who inflicted the deepest of psychological cuts, England’s inability to put anything on the field in the Yokohama final still a sore subject among the squad iloilo
“Some players will use [the 2019 final] as motivation, some players will take that as a brilliant learning into this week, and hopefully that’s what they will bring,” attack coach Richard Wigglesworth said on Monday iloilo
“But I wouldn’t like to pre-empt what [effect] feelings from four years ago have on this game iloilo
On Saturday night, we need to be very clear that this is a semi-final in 2023, and nothing to do with 2019 iloilo
England were beaten by South Africa in the 2019 Rugby World Cup final (Getty )“I think what we need to be careful of is pushing the emotional button too many times this week iloilo
We need the emotion right on Saturday night, not before iloilo
We need to make sure we control the emotional energy iloilo
“We will go through the parts of our gameplan, we will layer those on and make sure we check and refine those parts of the plan iloilo
We will make sure that we are fresh going into Saturday night both physically and mentally iloilo
”Borthwick is likely to stick with a broadly similar team, though may consider another tweak in the back three iloilo
It wasn’t that Marcus Smith, bloodied mouth and all, had a bad game against Fiji – his head coach was particularly keen to talk up his bravery in defence afterwards – but South Africa are likely to test whoever occupies the England 15 shirt rather more in the air iloilo
Freddie Steward’s prowess under the high ball could be a rather useful attacking option against a blitz defence that can leave opportunities for an intelligent kicking game iloilo
If Steward is returned to the starting side, it could leave George Ford and Smith vying for a single bench spot, with Ollie Lawrence continuing to be impactful as the bench centre iloilo
While captain Owen Farrell took the plaudits, the performances of Ben Earl, answering his own call for England’s big-game players to step up, and Ollie Chessum, a physical tone-setter, alongside more familiar faces augur well in a side in need of new stars iloilo

“We are probably talking about one of the best rugby teams to ever do it, aren’t we?” Wigglesworth said, illustrating the challenge England are facing iloilo
“To be able to beat France, the form they are in, in their own back yard, that was a special performance from an incredible team iloilo
”A couple of England players themselves admitted afterwards that they cannot afford the shaky 10 minutes that so nearly allowed Fiji a famous World Cup day iloilo
While they were able to claw their way to victory on Sunday, South Africa are a side capable of putting England in a hole from which there will be no climbing out – as they showed in the final four years ago iloilo
“We still don’t feel like we’ve put 80 minutes together of real, smart international test rugby,” Earl stressed iloilo
“It’s not glamorous stuff, it’s just the odd moment iloilo
I think some individual errors let a team like Fiji in, and they are a hard team to stop when they are rumbling iloilo
We are iloilo better for that, and we are in a semi-final among the best four teams in the world iloilo
We’ll have a crack iloilo
