KOS vs ENG Dream11: England will look to end their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign on a positive note as they play Kosovo in the final game at Pristina City Stadium. This will be the England football team’s first visit to Kosovo.
The Three Lions secured their place in next summer’s Euro 2020 with a 7-0 thrashing of Montenegro. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain opened the scoring in the 11th minute, while Harry Kane scored three times in 19 minutes to score a hattrick. Other scorers for England were Marcus Rashford and Tammy Abraham, while Aleksandar Sofranac scored an own goal. It was England’s 1000th game and it couldn’t have any better.
There are many reasons why the current England team evokes different feelings about them. Not only Gareth Southgate’s men became the highest goal scorer in the Euro 2020 qualifiers, after scoring 13 times in the last two games, but the current team is also England’s youngest in 60 years. So there are a lot of players who are yet to reach their peak, and it indicates that England are only going to better and better.
Kosovo should be proud of their efforts despite them missing out on the Euro 2020 finals. For a country that small, it’s incredible that they are competing at this level, and producing so many good footballers. They are 3rd on the points table heading into this match, having won three times in the first seven games. They are already out of Euro 2020 contention and will be playing for pride in this match.
