1 Goal in 450 mins: A look at England National Team’s horrible performance at the UEFA Nations League 2022
One of the most valuable teams across the globe, England’s National Team has had a rough patch scoring only 1 goal in the 5 matches that they played. Gareth Southgate’s side has failed to win any of the last 5 matches played in the group stages of the Nations League. They have already lost 3 and drawn 2 games.
This English misery started with a 1-0 defeat against Hungary. Hungary shocked the Englishmen as Szoboszlai converted a penalty in the 60th minute.
England played Germany in the next game as the match ended with an even 1-1 result. Both teams played a balanced game although Germany had more control of the game with the possession of the ball.
England’s next game was a goalless draw as well against EURO 2020 champions, Italy. Although English players had a decent game creating many chances, they failed to convert these opportunities resulting in a draw.
Hungary smashed England at Wembley as the visitors scored 4 goals and concede 0 against one of the best teams in the world. Hungarian players ran riot as Gareth Southgate’s team failed to score a single goal at their own stadium. They also went on to lose the next game to Italy.
England has been relegated from the UEFA Nations League tournament as Hungary tops the group of death. What does Gareth Southgate has to change in the football his men are playing? Do you think he is the right manager to bring the world cup home?
