Jordan Pickford says England are targeting first place in Group G and dismissed suggestions that finishing second may be more beneficial.
The runners-up in England’s group could potentially avoid some of the World Cup big hitters until the latter stages, but Pickford wants to progress as group winners by beating Belgium in Kaliningrad on Thursday.
“Our mentality is to win every game we play – and we want to win every game,” said the goalkeeper.”I feel that if we win every game it just keeps building momentum to keep going in the tournament.”
