England and Finland are set to face off in the upcoming second round of the Nations League on Tuesday. The England vs Finland match will take place on September 10, 2024, with a kick-off time of 7:45 pm BST.
In the previous Euro tournament, Southgate’s team did not perform at their best. The national team displayed a rather passive style of football, frequently allowing their opponents to dictate the game and capitalising on their mistakes. This level of writing is what one would anticipate from a team of average standing. Nevertheless, the English team boasted the strongest players in Europe. However, despite their efforts, the Three Lions ultimately made it to the final, only to be defeated by a stronger and more energetic Spain.
At the beginning of the Nations League, it appeared that the English team might encounter some difficulties, as the match had very few, if any, goals. On the other hand, the new coach Lee Carsley’s team showed great determination against Ireland and emerged victorious with a 2-0 win. In addition, the team managed to score two goals in rapid succession, with Rice and Grealish, who both represented Ireland in their youth, showcasing their exceptional skills. Scoring was particularly crucial for the latter, as he had previously been left out of the final bid for the Euros.
Unfortunately, the Finns did not make it to the Euros. They reached the knockout stages, only to be swiftly eliminated by Wales with a score of 1:4. Afterwards, the team participated in a series of friendly matches. They faced a formidable Portugal and unfortunately lost (2:4), but managed to secure a draw against the equally strong Scotland (2:2). Additionally, they emerged victorious against the weaker Estonia (2:1).
The team’s journey in the Nations League began with a match against Greece, a team of similar calibre. The Finns were unable to put up a fair fight, resulting in a 0-3 loss. Despite having slightly more possession than the Greeks, the team had very few opportunities to score. However, Finland was unable to capitalise on this advantage and find the back of the net.
