The slogan of soccer coming home has been chanted for almost a decade.
The two main characters in the photo of the 1966 World Cup winners, Queen Elizabeth II and England captain Bobby Moore, have both passed away, and the Rémy Gold Cups in their hands have long since disappeared.
In between, the heroes and heroines of the Three Lions have continued to come out of nowhere. In every generation, England must have seen at least one iconic world-class player. From David Beckham, Wayne Rooney and now Harry Kane.
It's like jumping up and being able to touch the edge, but never being able to just hold on to it.
In this way, the endless waiting became helpless and habitual.
↑? England have never been short of world-class stars, yet have been slow to win the longed-for major championships.
The country with the world's No. 1 league has been slow to pick up the long-awaited World Cup.
Or maybe that's the real problem.

The stars plus a handful of well-traveled players make up the group.
The squad is still strong and there are many young stars in the team, and with the support of last year's Europa League runners-up, the team with the highest price tag in this year's World Cup may bring us a lot of surprises.
England's three wicketkeepers are similarly strong this year. As opposed to Nick Pope and Aaron Ramsdale.
Jordan Pickford, who has been the No. 1 international goalie for about four years now, is still pretty solid in the starting role

Coupled with the fact that saves are already his forte, Pickford is unsurprisingly the obvious choice to start in goal for England this term.

Leading the way, Ramsdale does deserve credit.
However, due to Pickford's stable form and the experience he has accumulated in the past two tournaments, Ramsdale is still hard to shake Pickford's position as the No.1 international goalkeeper.
And as England's second international goalkeeper, Ramsdale would definitely be a trusted option should Pickford be unavailable in any way.
