HARRY KANE believes England have an 'aura' that has helped them get to within one step of another major final.
While pundits and a lot of supporters have been critical of England's performances in Germany, they are still seen as a powerhouse nation by other teams.
Their record in the previous three major tournaments meant they came here with a strong reputation and a favourite's chance.
And the England captain is convinced that gives them a psychological edge when they step on to the pitch.
Kane explained: "As a team, we've been clear that we haven't hit the heights of how we want to play but we're still in a good place and we're leaning on a lot of experience. We're leaning on being here before.
"And there's the perception from other teams when you've been in finals, semi-finals on a consistent basis that gives you a certain aura as a team that other nations look at.
"That's down to our own work. We've built that up over past tournaments and now we're in a situation where we deserve to be.
