On the sixth of July, England and Switzerland will compete against one another in the quarterfinals of the Euro 2024 tournament. It seems that everything is rather evident. However, the Swiss will provide the English with a challenging match.
The Swiss have already caused quite a stir at this Euro. Not even the 1-1 tie with Germany in the third group stage match comes to mind. Then, the Germans fielded a squad with a mix of players, lacking a strong drive. However, Yakin’s team successfully eliminated Italy in the 1/8 finals. And indeed, the victory was well-earned. The Italians seemed unsure how to handle the ball and struggled to generate meaningful offensive plays. Before this, the outcome relied heavily on Donnarumma’s performance, but unfortunately, he could not make a difference – resulting in a 0:2 defeat.
The English faced a formidable challenge when playing against Slovakia. And the team is creating issues for themselves. Southgate’s team adopts a cautious style of play, avoiding unnecessary risks and maintaining possession of the ball for extended periods. The English matches continue until someone scores. If the Three Lions score first, their position on the scoreboard worsens even further. However, the Slovaks managed to disrupt England’s defence first. The team had to react, but their assaults remained challenging. In the final moments, Bellingham scored an incredible goal. Then, in extra time, Kane sealed the deal with another goal, bringing the final score to 2:1.
