At midnight on July 1st, England advanced to the quarter-finals of the European Championship with a 2-1 extra-time victory over Slovakia. Jamie Jian shared his insights on social media following the match.
Jamie Jian wrote: “The Three Lions have been resurrected! England’s ‘header team’ is back! Through two headers in a chaotic situation, first Jude Bellingham scored the equalizer in the most dramatic moment in the tournament so far, a stunning bicycle kick that could be the best goal of Euro 2024 to this point. Then Harry Kane secured the win for the team. Ivan Toney, who came off the bench, made a notable impact in the limited time he had. However, England’s direction in the quarter-finals remains uncertain. The impressive 19-year-old Menou will surely keep his starting spot, but how will the team address the persistent imbalance in their attack? The left-wing offense remains lackluster. Should they learn from this match and attempt more crosses from the wings, targeting the aerial battle in the middle? Seems like ground penetration isn’t working; can Foden and Bellingham coexist effectively? Facing Switzerland next, they can’t count on luck anymore…
