In the early morning of June 26, Beijing time, Group C of the European Cup group stage, England VS Slovenia. 0-0, England played ugly football again, with 5 points from 3 games, and qualified as the first in the group. Slovenia also qualified. England settle in the bottom half, avoiding Portugal, Spain, France and Germany in the top half.

England, who have four points in the first two games of the group stage, has already confirmed their advance to the round of 16. With Germany, Spain, Portugal and France in the top half, England need to fight for first place in Group C and avoid this death half.

England are still a quartet of Foden, Bukayo Saka, Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham, with Conor Gallagher rotating Trent Alexander-Arnold and partnering Rice in midfield. England, ranked No. 5 in the world and worth €1.5 billion, have had a lackluster performance at this European Championship, and Southgate is still looking for a tactical style of play that blends superstars.

In the 20th minute, England scored a goal, Foden crossed, and Saka pushed the goal. However, the linesman raised the flag to signal that Foden was offside and the goal was disallowed.

England were firmly in possession but lackluster in attack and lacked crosses in the final one. In the 41st minute, Kieran Trippier hoisted the ball into the box on the left side, and Gallagher and Kane tried to grab the point, but both missed the ball.

There was no stoppage time in the first half, and a 0-0 draw was scoreless. England didn't have any bright spots to speak of, with mistakes at the back, with Stones and Bellingham both making simple, low-level passing errors; Kane and Foden's movements tend to overlap; Rice's and Conor Gallagher's two midfielders lack an echo of each other; There was no space or creativity in the offense, and Walker couldn't rush up. England, with 1.5 billion euros, plays hypnotic football and ugly football.

In the rematch, England replaced the youngster Mainou and removed Gallagher. Hypnotic football in England with fans asleep in the stands. Carragher quipped: "Can anyone buy me a cup of coffee (pick-me-up)?" ”

England formed a comprehensive suppression, but the majority of ineffective passes and still did not create absolute scoring opportunities. In the 71st minute, England finally made a midfield substitution, with Palmer replacing Bukayo Saka. It was Palmer's debut at this tournament and he scored 25 goals and provided 15 assists for Chelsea in 2023/24.

After 80 minutes, England were unable to break the deadlock, with 75 per cent possession and no real threat. When England collapsed in central midfield, the crowd booed. In the 84th minute, England brought on Trent Alexander-Arnold and moved Walker to the left. However, Southgate did not dare to move Bellingham - judging from the performance, Bellingham was sleepwalking and did not work.

0-0, England and Slovenia exchanged scores, and once again handed in a disappointing performance. In the 3 group games of the European Championship, England won 1 and drew 2 and scored only 2 goals. There is a luxurious lineup, a conservative, ugly style of play, and it is disappointing to play on its own.
