England’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Theo-Walcott-c34873 feels that the Three Lions are still destined for greatness, despite the team crashing out of the Euro 2012 in the quarter finals.
England went on to surprise everyone, as they made it out of their group as the group leaders. The team managed to pick up two wins and one draw from their group games and this saw them surpass most people’s expectations.
However, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 facing the team in the quarter finals, everyone dreaded that the team might end up crashing out on penalties.
In the end, it was the age old curse of the penalties that saw England crash out of the competition.
Despite this loss and with the team now out of the tournament, Walcott still feels that England will go on and achieve a number of trophies in the future.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 forward thinks the team showed a lot of positives in the Euro 2012 and should they build on this, they could go on and be a force to be reckoned with in the future.
"We have to have our heads raised up high and we have got to look forward to the World Cup qualifiers coming up soon," he told reporters.
"We'll have a good break, and everyone deserves it, but a lot of experience was learnt in that game against Italy, especially for the young players.”
"A lot of players have made names for themselves in this tournament and that's all we can do. We've got to look for the positives and learn from the negatives."
The attacker feels the team did rather well, considering the time that they had under Hodgson, but feels the team will come together even better in the World Cup qualifiers and with the right mentality and plan, they could surprise a lot of people in 2014.
"We will be stronger, we can only get better and better," he added.
"We had a short time with Roy [Hodgson] being the manager and now we can look forward to the qualifiers.”
It is now a wait to see just where the team goes from here. With the foundations being set by Hodgson, it is now up to him and the team to build on them and look to make http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 a name to be feared in the world of football.
