Quarter-finals  Semi-finals Final England Germany Carsley is confident his England side have the quality, experience and self belief to beat Germany in Saturday's Euros final and retain their continental crown. "One more step, which is the biggest step, " the U21s boss said. "But we've got that experience, we've done it before, so hopefully we can play with a lot of respect for opponents but try and impose our gameplan on them. "We all set out with one objective, and that was to try and win it again. "It's obviously easier said than done, but I wanted the lads to have the confidence and belief that we could do that. "We tried to leave all of the hope at St George's (Park) and come out here with belief and I think that the players have got a great spirit about them. "I think they really are together, they're committed to what they're trying to do and I'm very lucky as a coach, along with the rest of the staff, to work with these players. "You forget the age of this team. Very young, had a setback but went again. I thought they played with such maturity [against the Netherlands], they've got great team spirit. "The most important thing now is, like we said after the Spain game, this can't be our highlight. We have to make sure that now we try and get the job done. " © 2025 talk SPORT Limited
