After the match, Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka, the stars of the England national team, talked about the sweeping victory achieved by the (Three Lions) team.

"It's a great day and a good game for us," Bellingham told the BBC after the match.

Six goals in a World Cup match is really amazing, no matter what team you play against.

For his part, Bukayo Saka, who scored the second and fourth goals, said: “I cannot describe this feeling, it is amazing.

I am very happy and very proud.

We also won, so it's a really special day."

"There was a lot of talk and speculation about our performance, but we showed everyone how good we are and what we can do," Saka added.

Despite the happiness that appeared on the face of England coach Gareth Southgate with the victory, he indicated that his team could have done better.

"We shouldn't have conceded two goals," Southgate said.

It's a great start, but we have to be better."

The England national team, the runner-up of the European Nations Cup (Euro 2020), which was held in the summer of last year, is preparing to meet the American national team next Friday, in the second round of the group.
