The English national team did not convince anyone throughout its journey in the tournament
Southgate maybe think that he and his players don't need to convince anyone and he believes that an ultimate result is all and means most. After a third and second positions in World Cup 2018 and Euro 2020, perhaps he only aims at the title in Euro 2024 and don't mind what happens around.
In the second round, the English almost bid farewell to the tournament against Slovakia, had it not been for Billingham's goal in the final seconds. In the extra half, Harry Kane added the second goal for England against Slovakia and his second in the tournament, making the English qualify for the quarter-finals without the fans and critics being completely convinced that this team will achieve the dream of winning the title.
I am not defending Southgate and his lack of ideas for England tactics in Euro 2024 but they are counting down to very last matches to win Euro 2024 title. There is an upcoming quarter final with Switzerland after which only two more matches to win and lift the trophy.
England nearly lost against Slovakia which are certainly not a strong team in Europe but they successfully exited at very last second and finally won it. Switzerland are stronger than Slovakia and more experienced too so that they can bring more challenge to England. Hours ago we saw France beat Portugal and they are similar like England, don't have a convincing Euro tournament so far, but now they are gradually reaching to the final match.
