Fans Criticise England Boring Football Euros 2024: We are in the last round of group-stage matches in the 2024 Euros as the Round of 16 match-ups have started to take shape. Nine teams have qualified to the next round so far and the next seven spots will be filled in the next couple of days.
One team that has made it to the next round as the winners of their group is England, who topped Group C despite only winning one match out of three.
England went into this tournament as one of the two top favourites to win it all alongside France. The absolute wealth of talent in this team is second to none as several players in the England squad were in fantastic form last season.
Despite that, this team has yet to match their performance with their talents. One of the most underwhelming ‘big’ teams in this tournament so far, England might be the group topper with the least points in this competition.
But it is not only the results but also how uninspiring the Three Lions’ game has been in UEFA Euro 2024. England has played boring and defensive football against teams they should absolutely dominate.

While a 1-1 draw against Denmark is unexpected but understandable, England should not score one goal against Serbia early in the game and then park the bus.
But the most embarrassing performance by this team was the 0-0 draw against Slovenia, a result that ensured them topping their group but a disappointing scoreline nonetheless. A team that is the favourite to win the competition should not play a draw and fail to score against a side like Slovenia.
There are a lot of issues with this England side, from pushing Phil Foden to the left flank to make space for Trent Alexander-Arnold in the midfield, to their inability to be quick in the attack thus giving their opposition to settle into their defensive structure.

But this piece will not be talking about what England is doing wrong and what Gareth Southgate and the players can do to fix the issues. Today, we will be looking at the fan reactions to England’s underwhelming football.

Some fans were left wondering as to how England topped their group despite drawing two games –
Some others pointed out how uninspiring England’s football has been despite having some of the biggest superstars in world football. Most of the comments here were at the expense of Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham –
Finally, some fans had criticism stored for the manager who has managed the ‘golden generation’ of English football for the past eight years, Gareth Southgate –
Having topped Group C, England will face one of the third-place teams from Group D or E. This team will most likely be the Netherlands. Although, it can also be any one of Belgium, Romania, Slovakia, or Ukraine.
