If you were playing Euro 2024 Top Trumps based on the most dismal stats, England would undoubtedly dominate.

The Three Lions’ performance in the group stages has left fans dismayed and pundits unimpressed.

An Uninspiring Offense

England’s attacking play has been sluggish and uninspired.

They boast the slowest pace of attack in the tournament, moving the ball at a crawl compared to other teams.

Phil Foden’s passing statistics tell a sorry tale: he’s passed more to goalkeeper Jordan Pickford than to star striker Harry Kane.

Struggles in Front of Goal

Scoring has been a major headache for England.

They managed just two goals in the group stages, a tally that historically rarely leads to tournament success.

Their shooting has been sparse, with few shots per game and a low percentage hitting the target.

While defensively sound with two clean sheets, England’s opponents haven’t posed much of a threat.

Their possession dominance against Slovenia didn’t translate into goal-scoring opportunities, reflecting a lack of cutting edge in attack.

Tactically, England’s setup has raised eyebrows.

Misplaced passes, backward play, and a reluctance to press high have characterized their games.

Could it be the toll of a grueling Premier League season affecting their stars?

Ultimately, despite their defensive resilience, England’s Euro 2024 campaign has been defined by boredom and frustration for fans.

With the knockout stages looming, Gareth Southgate faces an uphill battle to reignite his team’s attacking spark and salvage their tournament hopes.
