The average age of England's first team against Spain in the 2-3 victory was an astonishing 23.3 years, which is great as England have always been known to field experienced sides in the last two decades.

Gone are the days of Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, and Paul Scholes. With them are gone the days of the failure England surprisingly faced, even as the above mentioned names were at the peak of their careers for their respective clubs.

Now, the likes of Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford and Eric Dier are up for a challenge as England try to build on their World Cup 4th place finish earlier this year, and will surely give 200 percent to bring the World Cup trophy back home 4-8 years down the line.
