Some people keep the good for the end. The England team is probably one of them after a huge 0:10 over San Marino in the last game of the World Cup qualifiers, on the evening when a point was enough for them to advance to the World Cup. The Three Lions team recorded their biggest win in a competitive frame ever, and one of the greatest wins of all time. England’s record is 0:13 against Northern Ireland from 1882.
The English scored a top ten for the first time since a 1964 friendly against the United States, England scored 38 goals in that campaign, more than any other campaign, and broke a record when they advanced to their seventh consecutive World Cup. Harry Kane impressed with a quartet in a quarter of an hour and was the first since 1993 to score a quartet for England in a competitive game. Kane became the team’s all-time leading scorer and one goal away from Bobby Charlton and second place. The last three quartets of England players, by the way, have been against San Marino.
Numerically 2021 is the most successful year for England, who as they remember lost in the Euro final to Italy. The three Lions have never won more games, scored more goals and kept more clean goals in a calendar year, a figure that is of course affected by the unusual game load that was last season with the Euros, qualifiers and League of Nations. Jude Bellingham, who scored today, won every one of his first ten games for the team. Smith Rowe and Tyrone Mings scored debut goals, while Trent Alexander-Arnold cooked 3 times.
The English scored 10 of 13 kicks per frame, a very high conversion rate of 76.9%. The game led to compliments from the British media:Daily Mail“Call it ’10 Perfect Score’, while”Sky Sports“Didn’t score for goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale because he wasn’t involved enough in the game.”Guardian“Call the game a ‘historic evening.’
The team’s coach, Gareth Southgate, gave the credit to his team: “We earned this promotion, it was a very good year. We have nothing to do with the level of the opponent but we played great. I have not thought about the squad yet, we had 19 games this season. Now We have a good opportunity to think about the last few months and the experience that the young players need before the World Cup in Qatar. “
Harry Kane who scored a quartet also commented: “Wonderful to match Gary Lineker. Every time I wear the team shirt I’m proud and I’m happy to score, a pleasure to be a part of those names. Still need to keep working, I feel like I’m getting better year after year. We take advantage of everything “From every training and every game and we have to continue like this. I’m glad we’re over.”
