The young England side arrived in Russia for the World Cup 2018 with little expected from them. However, the Three Lions have surprised the fans and the experts by reaching the semi-finals of the tournament for the first time since 1990.
Their successful run at the quadrennial event has led to massive celebrations back home in England. But midfielder Eric Dier is adamant that for all the progress, success has yet to be achieved for the Three Lions at the World Cup in Russia.
“I don’t think we have succeeded yet success is hard to define but in my eyes and I think in everyone else’s eyes back at the (team) hotel I think this isn’t a success yet,” Dier said.
England face Croatia on Wednesday in the last four with a chance to face France or Belgium in Sunday’s final in Moscow on the line.
The players have seen the videos of fans wildly celebrating their quarter-final victory over Sweden and are aware of the mood in England but Dier says their eyes are fixed on their next task.
“We are hungry for more and we want more and hopefully we can show that on Wednesday. After the Sweden game we fixed our attention purely to Wednesday. We are as focused as ever on that game, there has been no complacency, no talk of anything else other than Wednesday.
