Paul Gascoigne has criticised the lack of emotion shown by some England players when scoring for the national team, saying their muted celebrations "drive me nuts."
Thomas Tuchel's side host World Cup winners Spain at Wembley on Saturday before facing Czechia twice, and Croatia, in a quartet of Nations League matches.
England legend Gascoigne -- feted for his role at Italia '90 and Euro '96 in particular -- has called on the latest generation to demonstrate greater enthusiasm in their goal celebrations.
"I loved playing for my country. You know, putting on that white shirt, I just thought of my family, made them proud," Gascoigne told talkSPORT.
"It's quite emotional now talking about it. Playing for your country means so much.
"I see some of the players when they score and they don't really celebrate. And that drives me nuts."
Gascoigne joked: "You know, I remember when I made my debut for the Under-21s and it was a tournament tour...

"I scored and there was no one in the crowd. So I jumped over the fence and celebrated on the motorway."
Gascoigne played 57 times for England, most notably under Sir Bobby Robson at the World Cup in 1990. They reached the semifinals when Gascoigne was notoriously reduced to tears by a yellow card against West Germany which would have ruled him out the final. England ultimately lost the semifinal on penalties.
He has now taken a dim view on the players who have withdrawn from Tuchel's Nations League squad, which includes Cole Palmer who was overlooked for England's World Cup in North America.
Declan Rice, Marcus Rashford, Tino Livramento and Kobbie Mainoo have also pulled out of the squad that Tuchel named for the next four Nations League games.
Morgan Gibbs-White and James Garner have been called up to bolster the ranks, with the injured John Stones, Reece James and Djed Spence among those already missing.
"You see some of them and they pull out the squad. It's not very good," Gascoigne said.
"But the thing is with Bobby Robson, it didn't matter how bad you played for your club, if you played well for England, he would pick you again. So you knew that, but when you keep chopping and changing, some players get fed up with it."
