""We will arrive as underdogs in the World Cup because we haven't won it for decades," he said. "W we will play against teams who have repeatedly won it during that time, so we need to arrive as a team otherwise we have no chance." "If you've never won Wimbledon, you may be one of the favourites but you are not the favourite," the England boss said."
""You can go and if you come close, OK, you are within the pool, but you are not the favourite. It is just how it is." "There is Brazil, there is Argentina, Spain, France and they just did it recently. It doesn't mean we have no chance and we know very well. First we will qualify and then we will know exactly why we go there.""
England will enter the next World Cup as underdogs because the team has not won the tournament since 1966 and faces nations with repeated recent success. England reached the 2018 World Cup semi-finals and exited in the quarter-finals in Qatar. England also reached back-to-back European Championship finals without securing a trophy. Upcoming fixtures include a friendly against Wales and a qualifier against Latvia, where qualification could be secured. Underdog status is attributed to history, climate, and circumstances. Qualification is the immediate objective before evaluating prospects at the finals.
