With a luxury squad of 1.5 billion euros and a number of superstars, England played mediocre in the group stage, completely failing to show the quality of a championship team, and the lethargic scene made Southgate unanimously criticized.

Slovakia, ranked 45th in the world, managed to finish third in the group by beating Belgium in the first round of the group stage. Southgate made just one change in the starting line-up, with 19-year-old Maynu replacing Trent Alexander-Arnold and Rice in a back two. Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, Phil Foden and Harry Kane continue to link up in the attacking quartet; Walker, John Stones, Guehi and Kieran Trippier formed the backline, with Jordan Pickford in goal.

After the opening, England continued to be in a slump in the group stage, and the offensive side was suppressed by Slovakia again and again, in the 4th minute, Haraslin divided the ball on the left side, and Hanzko shot like a pass, and the ball slid out of the goal; In the first 8 minutes, Slovakia scored twice into the England penalty area; In the 11th minute, Hanzko slanted the left side of the center circle, Haraslin cut in front of Walker and fired a low shot, Pickford fell to the ground and saved, Trippier rushed to clear the ball in front of the goal line; Sixteen minutes into the game, Kieran Trippier, Maynou and Jude Bellingham were also booked.

After a rare comeback, Southgate also replaced Bellingham and Kane, two goalscorers, in extra time to rest, and Conor Gallagher and Konsa came on to strengthen the hardness and defense at the back; In the end, England also held on to their one-goal advantage and made it to the last eight, and their next opponent will be Switzerland.
