EVERYONE'S A WINNER

GARETH SOUTHGATE reckons England have developed the DNA of winners.

But he has told his Three Lions they have achieved nothing and have to land a trophy to prove him right.

England have made it to their third semi-final in the last four major tournaments.

The penalty shoot-out win over Switzerland will see them meet Holland in a semi-final showdown in Dortmund on Wednesday.

Southgate's stars are knocking on the door once again in the latter stages of a finals.

And the manager reckons his players will not be satisfied until they have finally walked through it, to find their footballing Holy Grail.

He said: "The difference is we arrive in a quarter-final but we're not satisfied with that.
