England want to be No. 1 in the world - Trippier

After proving what they are capable of at the World Cup and in a 3-2 victory over Spain, the Three Lions are now aiming to top the FIFA rankings

Kieran Trippier says England “want to be the No. 1 team” in the world after proving that they are capable of competing with the best sides in the business.

Gareth Southgate’s side enjoyed a memorable run to the World Cup semi-finals in Russia over the summer, with those exploits helping to raise morale inside the camp.

Since then, the Three Lions have held Croatia to a goalless draw and edged out Spain 3-2 on the roadending their 15-year run without a competitive defeat on home soil.
