Why is the English football team called England?

In recent years, England has performed very well in world competitions. 20 18 world cup in Russia, they won the fourth place, creating the best record in recent world cups. In the 2020 European Cup, they made great strides to reach the final, and finally lost to Italy on penalties in the final, ranking second.
