Following their goalless draw in their final group game at Euro 2024 on Tuesday, 25 June, England and Slovenia held press conferences to discuss the match. The 0-0 score has added more pressure on Gareth Southgate, especially after England’s disappointing performance against Denmark last week. As runners-up in 2020, England has faced widespread criticism for their lackluster start in a tournament where they were considered favorites to win.
Despite dominating possession against Slovenia, England was unable to secure a victory in Cologne. The team’s inability to convert their dominance into goals has been a major point of concern for fans and critics alike. However, the Three Lions still managed to top Group C with five points, thanks to a goalless draw between Serbia and Denmark.
With the group stage now behind them, England will now face a third-placed team in the last 16 on Sunday. The team will have to wait another day to find out their opponent, as they prepare to return to Gelsenkirchen after two frustrating draws in the group stage. The pressure is mounting on Southgate and his team to deliver a convincing performance in the knockout stages of the tournament.
