England is currently trailing Slovakia 1-0 in their Euro 2024 round of 16 match. Ivan Schranz opened the scoring for Slovakia, marking his third goal of the tournament, tying him for the lead in goals scored. England's defense has been under scrutiny, with Marc Guehi receiving an early yellow card in the first three minutes, which means he will be suspended for the quarter-finals if England progresses. Additionally, Jude Bellingham and Kobbie Mainoo were also booked within the first 16 minutes. England has conceded more expected goals (xG) to Slovakia in this match than in any of their group stage games. The team's performance has been criticized, with calls for changes in tactics and player positions, including suggestions to bring on Cole Palmer and Anthony Gordon.
Cole Palmer and Anthony Gordon time please Gareth
Lee Dixon thinks that Gareth Southgate talking to the England players will improve them... #ENGvSLO
Hope for England? 👀 The Three Lions have come back to win each of their last three games at the EUROs in which they've conceded the opening goal ⚽ 🆚 4-2 v Croatia (2004) 🆚 2-1 v Wales in (2016) 🆚 2-1 v Denmark (2021) #BBCEuros #Euro2024 #ENGSVK https://t.co/bw1cLt9l4b
RT if you want Cole Palmer on #EURO2024
England have already given up more xG to Slovakia in 33 minutes than they did in any of their group games. #ENGSVK | #Euro2024 🔗 https://t.co/1sn9xoMvk9 https://t.co/Nd2CieXdCw
Gareth Southgate is seriously fucking up a talented set of players in a winnable tournament for England. Key mistakes: ▪️Foden on the wing rather than at 10 ▪️Lack of direct pace out wide / failure to play Gordon & Palmer ▪️Lack of a high press #ENGSVK
Slovakia players are surrounding Bellingham today https://t.co/gUtcILTW01
England will have to find a way back into their round of 16 clash with Slovakia after going behind... https://t.co/FDCaSU2Nqx
10 passes between Stones/Walker/Pickford before Jord belts it aimlessly forward anyway This is England
Get it launched to Saka. That’ll work
Whatever your view of Gareth Southgate (and I know opinions differ), this is a million miles from the height of his reign. We used to play with clarity and belief, even if it was a bit too conservative for some people. This is just timid and muddled.
IVAN SCHRANZ OPENS THE SCORING AND SLOVAKIA GOES UP 1-0 😱 🇸🇰 ✅ Schranz First Goalscorer +1500 ✅ Schranz ATG +700 https://t.co/GLpYiusuS0
It does feel sort of obvious what should happen in attack, at least: Gordon and Palmer out wide, Foden as the 10.
even Pickford is fed up with boring England
It had to be him! 👀 That's three opening goals in games for Ivan Schranz at #Euro2024 ⚽ #BBCEuros #ENGSVK https://t.co/l1F6c3Yx4C
I can't explain it but Gareth Southgate is basically soccer's version of post-COVID John Calipari
Trent for Walker. Gordon for Mainoo. Palmer for Saka.
This is the worst defensive performance I've seen from any team in the tournament. We don't deserve to go through at this point. #5 Fifa ranking is delusional. #EURO2024 #ENGvsSVK
England vs Slovakia the best we can hope for is losing at penalties in this game #EURO2024

No point Foden being on the pitch stuck out there, not being quick enough to go past on the outside.

The body language from a few of these England players, but especially Bellingham, has been abysmal the last three games. Wouldn’t surprise me if it blows up at some point today.

Opinion | Cheer up, Gareth Southgate – the English language skews towards negativity @susie_dent wonders what might happen if we compliment instead of attack? 🔗 https://t.co/l2wQNEgQau https://t.co/E72JC1NlV9
90% sure Bellingham will cast himself in the "picking despondent team-mates up to their feet after the final whistle" role
Once again #England trailing in a must win game. #EURO2024
#ENG been so open, defence so unconvincing, now punished. Carved open, Strelec pass, Schranz finish. #1-0 #SVK #ENGSVK #EURo2024
Absolutely pathetic from #ENG yet again. Gareth Southgate getting what he deserves for persisting with the same lousy tactics. #Euro2024

England really miss Harry Maguire.
England are behind for the first time at #Euro2024 Can they come back to make it through to the quarter-finals?
The only thing one can do to cope with watching Slovakia slaughter England at #EURO2024 is watching the French turn out to vote for Vichy France 2.0 or eliminate Le Pen and the far right with a brilliant checkmate by @EmmanuelMacron Slovakia 1 England 0
Slovakia have taken the lead in every #Euro2024 game they have played so far...

Kyle Walker having an absolute nightmare here. Stones not much better. Maybe Pep really is even more genius than given credit for.
Based on the first 21 minutes, Kyle Walker appears preoccupied
You really have to give Gareth Southgate credit. He's made every player on England 20 percent worse than they are for their club teams. Quite the feat.

Three yellows for the Three Lions in 17 minutes. Impressive booking rate.

Knee Haraslín was a player when he faced Rangers for Sparta Prague but wasn’t sure he was ‘tearing England apart’ levels. Slovakia a really fun team to watch and could easily have scored a couple. That’s what can be above with a clear identity and a commitment to being brave.
