On July 7, during the quarterfinal of the European Cup, England faced Switzerland. In one of England’s corner kicks, instead of mounting a threatening attack, the play bizarrely ended with a backpass to goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, leaving English fans utterly stunned.
In the match between England and Switzerland, both teams played cautiously, resulting in a combined zero shots on target in the entire first half, which made for a rather dull affair.
During an English corner, the player taking the kick passed the ball to Saka, then on to Mings, Foden, and Walker. Ultimately, England failed to create any chance and the ball found its way back to Pickford’s feet.
This sequence left English supporters aghast, with spectators at the game voicing their displeasure. Fans expressed their frustration: “England took more than ten seconds to pass the ball from a corner kick only to have it end at Pickford’s feet – truly astonishing” and “What on earth are England doing out there?”
