SEOUL, South Korea (AP) If England defeats Venezuela in the final of the Under-20 World Cup on Sunday, the country will celebrate its first soccer world title for more than 50 years.

Since winning the World Cup back in 1966 on home soil, England has underachieved on the global stage.

”It’s our time,” said Liverpool striker Dominic Solanke, who has scored four goals in the tournament. ”The determination we have is what drives us on. We know that even if we’re losing, we can bring it back.”

England has won five of six games to get to the final at Suwon World Cup Stadium.
