Spain or Italy are also in the mix.Shearer, a former England captain and team-mate of Southgate, said that although the tournament started slowly, they are improving with each game. The Three Lions reached the Euro 96 semi finals on BBC One."My head tells me to relax, but my heart is getting too excited. Gareth, you are really positive. England, well done!Rio Ferdinand, who was a player for England in the 2002 and 2006 World Cups were equally thrilled after the victory in Rome.He said, "I feel even more confident now." "The greatest compliment I can offer this side is that it has never seen a side as composed.""All the new players are affecting the game positively, and the manager is using the squad. They all have a reason for their selection. They are difficult to play against."Frank Lampard, an England player who represented England in the Euro 2004 and three World Cups said that "we did every part of the job right today." Every box was checked. Gareth will be there to say, "What a great evening!""Now is the time to combat overconfidence, but now is the right time to get excited about it and the time to remind them to keep their heads down while remaining confident."You can't view this activity, sorry! jаvascript must be enabled in order to enjoy Newsround at its best.Shaw says "Something clicked"After being expelled from Manchester United by Jose Mourinho, Luke Shaw is enjoying a career revival.The 25-year old was wearing his 14th England cap. Five of those came this summer.He was the first England player since 2006 to help two goals in a major tournament match. David Beckham was the first player to accomplish this feat, in the match against Trinidad and Tobago at The World Cup.His three assists are the highest total at Euros for England players, equal to Beckham's 2000.Lampard stated, "From the outside it seems that something has really clicked in 18 months.""He is a machine that can do whatever you want. That was the impression you had from childhood. Now you are seeing it."Shearer stated that it helps to have people believe in you. Luke Shaw is a great example of that belief, both with club and country."Kane silenced doubters"Kane finally found his form at Euro 2020.In three group games, he only managed one shot at the target. Many called for his dismissal.He then followed up his 2-0 win over Germany with a second goal against Ukraine.This brings him to a total of 10 major tournament goals. Only Gary Lineker (11) has scored more goals for England.Chris Sutton, a former Blackburn striker, stated on BBC Radio 5 Live that "the doubters of Harry Kane were silenced." He is unquestionable. He'll score when he has a chance.Shearer also scored 10 goals in major tournaments. Shearer said that Harry Kane is a special player. If it doesn't happen, it won't be nice, but he will still be the best player in the world.It is amazing to see the difference in him. He has a spring in him. He picked up the ball from 40 to 50 yards, and immediately pinged it. You thought that was enough. He scored shortly thereafter.Jermaine Jenas, a former Tottenham and England midfielder, said that Harry Kane was always coming."He's a goal-scoring machine, and he scored two major goals tonight."Kane, Raheem Sterling and England team-mate Kane are now in the Golden Boot Race. They have scored three goals.Five of the five highest-scoring players have been eliminated, including Cristiano Ronaldo (top scorer) and Patrik Schick (both with five goals).
