After 28 years, Southgate has the chance to lead the nation to their very first European Championship in Germany. When asked about the chance to complete his fairytale ending, Southgate answered with a wonderful response.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I am not a believer in fairytales, but I am a believer in dreams. We have had big dreams and felt the importance of that, but you have to make those things happen. The run we\u2019ve had, the late goals and penalties, doesn\u2019t equate to it being our moment. We have to make it tomorrow and perform. It would be a lovely story and it's in our hands but the performance is the most important thing,\u201d said Southgate to reporters in the pre match conference.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Germany were eliminated by Spain in the quarterfinals of the tournament in what was perhaps one of the best games of the tournament.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
