A clash with a new-look Netherlands outfit will serve as a good marker for a Three Lions side who impressed at the World Cup
Raheem Sterling believes victory in the Nations League Finals will give England the confidence to challenge for Euro 2020 and the World Cup.
Gareth Southgate's side take on Netherlands in their semi-final on Thursday as the inaugural edition of UEFA's international tournament concludes in Portugal. The winner will face either the host nation or Switzerland in the final on Sunday.
England have failed to win an international tournament since they lifted the World Cup on home soil 53 years ago, but Sterling senses that a Nations League Finals triumph will give the Three Lions vital experience when they enter the latter stages of future tournaments.
