Gareth believes, the fans believe, now it is time for the players to finish the job.
But Modric said they would be ready to face Southgate's men.
"The last time England were like this was at Euro '96, when Terry Venables gave the players respect as adults, and let us breathe, which took the pressure off, and created a spirit which hasn't been seen again in the national team until this summer".
"We expect a very hard, tight and demanding match". We want to be here till the end.
The match kicks off at 3pm (BST), with home-side Russian Federation taking on Croatia later on today to find who will be going through to the quarter-finals.
