The England national football team, often referred to as the Three Lions, has faced significant criticism for their performances in the tournament. The team’s balance has been a major point of concern, with defensive strength being a highlight as they have conceded only once in three games. There are calls for changes in the team lineup, with suggestions to bring in players like Cole Palmer and Trent Alexander-Arnold. However, it is expected that the manager, Gareth Southgate, will not make wholesale changes, despite the team’s underwhelming displays thus far.

Attacking players such as Anthony Gordon and Ollie Watkins have been used sparingly, adding to the discussion around potential changes in the team. Former player Gary Neville has also criticized the performances of Jude Bellingham, expressing concerns about his current form. England’s scoring record at the Euros has been modest, with Bellingham being one of the few players to find the back of the net. The team’s struggle to fully utilize its talented squad has been evident, leading to further scrutiny and discussions about potential adjustments.
