England Advance to Euro 2024 Knockout Phase as Group C Winners, but Fans Frustrated After Goalless Draw Against Slovenia
England have progressed to the Euro 2024 knockout phase as Group C winners, but fans again expressed their frustration after Gareth Southgate’s side were held to a 0-0 draw by Slovenia.
The Euro 2020 runners-up have been widely criticized following an unconvincing start to a tournament they are among the favorites to win. England bossed possession against the well-drilled Slovenians but were unable to turn their dominance into a morale-boosting victory.
“We’re through, but the performance wasn’t what we expected,” said one disappointed fan. “The team needs to find their form if they want to make a deep run in the tournament.”
However, the result, coupled with the stalemate between Denmark and Serbia, saw them top the pool, meaning they will face a third-placed side in the last 16 on Sunday.
