Gareth Southgate’s men flattered to deceive against Denmark today.
It’s hard to remember a previous example of when the most hotly-tipped team to win a major tournament looked so technically limited.
England were not quite as bad as the Boys in Green that night, but with better players, they have been deploying a similar game plan for years. And it was evident against Serbia the other night when Gareth Southgate’s side more or less shut up shop after Jude Bellingham’s 13th-minute opener.Advertisement The biggest difference between the Serbia and Denmark games was the latter played with more self-belief.
Serbia arguably deserved a draw on the balance of play, and similarly today, Denmark could easily have turned a point into three. Rice’s former teammate James McClean received plenty of flak online for claiming the Arsenal star is overrated and not world-class. The midfield remained England’s biggest problem for much of the 90 minutes, so Southgate’s bold decision to take off his attacking trio of Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka and Phil Foden felt irrelevant.
