Southgate on the brink: England's Euro 2024 hopes hang in the balance
England manager Gareth Southgate is under immense pressure as his team prepares to face Germany in a crucial Euro 2024 clash.
Southgate, who led England to the semi-finals of the World Cup in 2018, has come under fire for his team's underwhelming start to the tournament. England have drawn their first two matches, against Scotland and the Czech Republic, and need a positive result against Germany to keep their hopes of reaching the knockout stages alive.
Southgate is no stranger to pressure. As a player, he missed a crucial penalty in the semi-finals of Euro 1996, and he has since endured years of criticism for his perceived lack of tactical acumen. However, he has also enjoyed success with England, leading the team to the semi-finals of the World Cup in 2018 and the final of the European Championship in 2020.
Now, Southgate is facing his biggest test yet. England are one of the favorites to win Euro 2024, but they have yet to live up to expectations. The team has looked disjointed and lacking in ideas, and Southgate has been criticized for his team selection and tactics.
Southgate knows that he needs a result against Germany to silence the critics and keep England's Euro 2024 hopes alive. However, Germany is a formidable opponent, and Southgate will need to find a way to get his team playing to their full potential.
The match between England and Germany is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, June 14th, at Wembley Stadium. The match will be broadcast live on ITV.
