Despite winning a ticket to the Semi-finals, England’s performance still made their fans worried, especially the two cases of Harry Kane and Phil Foden.

After two tough matches in the knockout round, England finally got a ticket to the Semi-finals, but to advance to the championship trophy, they still need to solve two big problems, which are the unconvincing performance of Harry Kane and Phil Foden.

Despite scoring 2 goals at EURO this year, it is clear that captain Harry Kane’s performance is difficult to reassure the Three Lions fans. He cannot play the role of a striker, does not appear in hot spots as usual, Kane is clearly not the excellent version of himself at EURO 2021.

Many were worried when Kane left the field in the 109th minute, without his captain in the penalty shootout, but in the end, England still successfully finished all 5 times. In which, the replacement Ivan Toney also contributed from the 11m mark with great courage.

With a player who scored 44 goals last season for Bayern Munich, it is clear that English fans expect more from Harry Kane, once again the problem of club stars who cannot shine for the England team.

A similar case belongs to Phil Foden, after declaring that he is not playing in his favorite position, Foden was pushed into the middle by coach Gareth Southgate to play more freely with Bellingham.

This is also considered the Man City star’s forte, but in the end, Foden was still lackluster for 115 minutes on the field, before being replaced by Alexander-Arnold, who scored the decisive penalty to bring victory to the Three Lions in the Quarterfinals.

After a difficult journey, the England team finally made it into the top 4 strongest teams, however, to win the championship, England clearly has to do better than that. In front of them will be an energetic Netherlands, and there will also be Spain or France who are also highly rated.
