Having lost 3 in 4 warmup fixtures, England are in poor form. But where are they struggling to succeed and what could limit them in the upcoming European Championships? Charlie Ellis analyzes England's chances at Euro 2024.
Coming off ecstasy and triumph at last summer's European Championships, England will be full of confidence heading into the 2023 World Cup. But without their captain, some doubts may begin to form. Leah Williamson played an integral part to England's success last year, firmly reminding everyone why she's one of the best defenders in the world. Luckily for the Three Lions, Alex Greenwood is a similar prototype and should help to put all of those doubts to bed. Here is what Greenwood brings to England in the absence of Leah Williamson.
In light of Mason Mount's lack of form at the start of the 2022 World Cup and in the recent months for Chelsea, Gareth Southgate has since opted for an experienced pairing of Declan Rice and Jordan Henderson at the base of the midfield, pushing the fresh legs of 19-year-old Jude Bellingham further forward. This has worked like a charm, bringing out the best in each of Southgate's midfield men, and allowing Bellingham to play some of his best football of his career thus far under the freedom of an advanced role. Here is why the balance of England's midfield has been so successful in recent matches, and why the trio could be the key to success in unlocking France.
Three games down and England have made it out of Group B with seven points, on nine goals scored and two allowed. It sounds dominant, but skepticism remains among fans across the country as to how the Three Lions will react against a higher-quality, more expansive footballing side.

Here is our analysis of Gareth Southgate's England at the 2022 World Cup, after the group stage.
England have finally done it. For the first time since 1966, England have won a major international tournament. Sarina Wiegman's team have been the undeniable best team at this summer's Euros, conceding just 2 goals, and scoring 22 in the process. After a hard-fought battle with Germany in the final, England came out as deserved winners of the tournament, but not without the help of their mighty substitutes. Here is our analysis of the match, and the brilliance of England all summer long.
Sweden might be the second best nation in the world on FIFA World Rankings, but on the pitch, they were easily second best in Tuesday night's semi-final. England on the other hand performed admirably and with a clinical verve, even if some unwanted discrepancies crept into their performance. In the end, Sarina Wiegman's team produced the goods when required, and now move onto the final with the chance to lift the country's first ever senior European Championships title, at their home ground, Wembley. Unfortunately for the Swedes, their worst showing of the tournament sends them home without a prayer; however, their attention can now be aimed towards a place at the 2023 Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
