Gareth Southgate has hit back at Swedish suggestions that England are a “team of entitlement” ahead of their World Cup quarter-final in Samara.
Former Sweden international Hakan Mild has accused the Three Lions of being “spoilt children who earn a lot of money” and believes England are underestimating their Scandinavian opponents.
However, Southgate insists there will be no room for complacency on Saturday and says his young squad are still grounded, despite the growing optimism around the England camp.
