I've been cheering for England for a long time and it's the first time that England reached the semifinals since I started cheering for them.
Actually, I hardly knew the players of the current England national team.
After the players who had been the pillars of the England team, such as Lampard, Gerrard, Rooney, etc. retired from the national team, I had been having the end-of-an-era feeling.
And! the new era has come!
The current national team is very young. And the pillar and ace is Harry Kane. Although he is still 24 years old, he is the captain.

But, he is not the only talented player in the England team. In fact, although he didn't get a goal in the last game, vs. Sweden, England won. Especially, the GREAT performance of the goalkeeper Jordan Pickford wowed me! He was elected as the Man of the Match, needless to say.
