"I think it's time for the country to unite, full stop," Southgate told the BBC on Friday."If the team can be a catalyst for that then that's brilliant. The Three Lions revived the country's love affair with football when they reached the semi-finals of Euro 1996, which was held on home soil.Southgate, who was part of coach Terry Venables' team which lost to Germany in the last-four that year, said it was time for England to"remember what a strong nation we are".
