"In terms of our experiences, those big matches are important reference points for the team," said Southgate. "We went with the belief we could win but it was almost a new experience for a lot of us," said Kane. "We got to the semi-final and were over the moon but whether we had the full belief to go and win the tournament, I'm not sure.
