Netherlands v England (Wednesday, 20:00 BST)
England
Harry Kane, on the pressure at the beginning and whether players did anything differently: “No, there weren’t any meetings. As one of the leaders, as the captain, you’re always talking to your players. Especially the newer players, they’re always asking about experiences.
“I think we do a good job of preparing all the players before the tournament. There’s a lot that goes into tournament football, there’s a lot of media attention, so it’s about dealing with all that.
“Over the years, we’ve handled that really well and this tournament has been no different. Maybe the expectation and noise has been a bit louder but I think we’ve handled that really well.
“Ultimately it’s down to what we want to achieve but we have a really close togetherness. That’s all we’re thinking about.”
