World Cup 2022 news and updates.

 Mason Mount admits England must improve defensively if  they are to go deep into the World Cup.While many were toasting the attacking display as England secured a 6-2 victory over Iran in their opening Group B fixture, shipping two goals annoyed manager Gareth Southgate.



Mehdi Taremi's brace, a powerful finish and a last-gasp penalty, prevented the Three Lions from achieving their biggest ever World Cup win and Mount believes conceding twice in the knockout rounds could see England going home early.



"I think you could see the way we moved with the ball and the combinations that we played with is something we worked on during the previous five days we were here," he said.

"But you see things about us needing to be more attacking but in the major tournaments you cannot afford to concede goals.


That is when you - going further - start losing games.

"So you have to focus on that. That is what we have been doing as well. How defensively solid we can be."To score six goals is amazing but to concede two is not what we want to do and something we will look at going into the next game."
