After a dismal display last week against Iceland, the expectation and excitement around England has notably cooled. All of the focus seems to be on how to balance an attacking line that has so many options, with a defense that has so few. Southgate during his tenure has always erred on the side of pragmatism but will this finally be the night when he sends an England side out that attempts to dismantle the opposition with its strike power?
Serbia should not be underestimated, and in Aleksandar Mitrovic they have a star man who followers of the Premier League will remember from his time with Fulham. They will know that the pressure is on England, and the longer they can stay in the game the greater the chance they will get an opportunity to test England’s defence.
When: 16th June | 8pm. – Gelsenkirchen
