The England football unit has performed splendidly in the UEFA EURO 2024, conceding first in nearly every game but clutching to victory at the end.
The unit’s performance in the Semi-Finals was one of the finest in the competition. There is a sense of momentum behind them right now, as well as a surge in confidence that comes with delivering outcomes late in the game. With Jude Bellingham‘s 95th-minute equaliser against Slovakia, the penalty shootout triumph against Switzerland, and Ollie Watkins’ 90th-minute goal against the Netherlands, England appears to be on track to win their first major title in 58 years.
Against the Dutch, there were indications that England’s individual offensive abilities were beginning to gel, with some particularly thrilling combinations including Kobbie Mainoo, Phil Foden, and Bukayo Saka. Jordan Pickford is doing better than ever in this tournament, while Marc Guéhi has emerged as a key discovery at centre defence. The squad will have more balance with Shaw’s expected comeback in time for his first start of the tournament.
The England football squad is packed with stars, and with such a strong showing at the quadrennial event, the team will be looking to win glory on the pitch just as much as it has off it. The governing body of football in England, The Football Association (FA) has developed numerous sponsorship deals for its national team, greatly increasing the side’s brand value.
