Speaking of the clash against Colombia, Southgate said: "Of course, I can see everybody is more excited as the team progresses, but we have to think separately of what everybody else is thinking.

"Otherwise we just get carried away on the wave of emotion and don’t think clearly about what we have to affect, focusing on performance.

“With all our preparations, we feel we are in a good place. Now we have to stop talking and go and deliver.

"It is pointless us even thinking about what might happen after the game.

“We focus on the game, on our performance, and everything will fall into place from there. We haven’t discussed anything beyond tomorrow.”

"They’re relishing that chance. This is a great game for them to attack.

“You know the level of the game is going up a notch, the level of the opponent is higher.

“You get punished more ruthlessly if you allow opportunities so it is the same for us.”
