It&#8217;s a long journey, you can&#8217;t be too high, you can\u2019t be too low, you\u2019ve got to be trusting what you&#8217;re doing in the present moment. So, we\u2019re trying to do that, we\u2019re trying to enjoy it as much as we can, and being confident of what&#8217;s to come.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Eze refuted suggestions that England are too reliant on Harry Kane for goals. Kane, who bagged a brace in last week&#8217;s opener against Croatia, hardly got a kick until he skied a late chance that he would normally convert.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Eze said: &#8220;I think it makes it look like that, because he scores so many goals, and he&#8217;s that effective. But we&#8217;ve got so much talent, so much creativity, and options to score. But, of course, it helps having someone as incredible as him, and we won\u2019t look too much past that.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"England midfielder Eberechi Eze says the dynamic of Group L has not changed after the 0-0 draw with&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":656204,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[3204,59,2713,2818,101,56,54,55,58033],"class_list":["post-656203","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-cristiano-ronaldo","tag-gb","tag-lionel-messi","tag-scotland-football-team","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-world-cup-2026"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/656203","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=656203"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/656203\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/656204"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=656203"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=656203"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=656203"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
