On the other hand, I'm pretty sure England can qualify as group winners easily, but their next journey will not be easy. Of course they have good squad depth in almost every line, but Southgate must find a strategy to win the match easily. Next England will face Denmark, they have to do it in a better way.
One goal may have been enough to defeat Serbia, but one goal may not be enough to defeat Denmark. I expected more goals from England, and I must say that the one goal in their first game is disappointing but a progress from their last friendly game where they lost. The performance of England has to improve, the competition will be tougher and if they will win this competition, one goal will not be enough against the big teams. England should be scoring as many goals as Spain and Germany.
The way the British medias were going about this England squad by over hyping them, I was thinking England were going to demolish Serbia in their first game. I thought England were going to show their seriousness by beating Serbia with a convincing scoreline. Just imagine how they were struggling to beat Serbia. With this kind of display if they meet teams like Germany or Spain who has played so convincingly so far in this competition, England will lose. I have said it many times, it's not about have big names in a team, do you have the right tactical ability to manage those players? It's unfortunate that Southgate don't know what to do with England squad. As expected they are definitely going to win their group, but they should not expect a soft landing once the group stages are over.
Yes England need to win a trophy but they should make no mistake about it, they shouldn't get it twisted, nobody is going to hand them a trophy on a platter of gold. If they want to win something, they should work hard for it and earn it. With this kind of lackluster performance they are not going to win anything and that's for sure. They managed to win, but I'm not convinced even with this win that they are going to win the tournament.
