We came into this tournament with a goal, maybe fallen slightly short of that goal of reaching the semifinals, but it doesn’t mean that we prepare any differently and I think for us as a group, every game is important to us to play to win. I don’t think we ever rock up thinking that we like to compete against the best teams in the world.

England vs Netherlands Live: ENG assistant coach says Jos & Co. haven’t got the execution right
England vs Netherlands Live: Speaking at the pre-match press conference, English assistant coach Carl Hopkinson said, “I think it’s more around actual skill execution and those key moments throughout the tournament. I think it’s clear for everybody to see that we haven’t got those quite right and as executed as well as we possibly could have done and actually that’s what this team’s probably known for over the last five or six years, so I think that’s probably the biggest takeaway for me as a coach,”
“It comes from lots of things. It comes from, first of all, doing it in a game, winning games of cricket, which gives you confidence, but then ultimately it comes from your training as well, which every single one of the players is always trying to put right, and this group is well-renowned for pushing the boundaries of their own game and always looking to improve,”

We need to be thinking about tomorrow, we need to be thinking about Pakistan because we’ve got two very important games in which we need to win and win well to qualify for the Champions Trophy, which is what we need to do.
