Throughout the first half of the England-Slovenia match, it was noted that the England team found it difficult to penetrate the Slovenian defense and approach the goal. The only chance was in the 40th minute, as a result of a corner kick that the English attackers did not exploit well.
On the other hand, the Slovenian team played with great performance despite the pressure from the English attackers, who found no solution other than long balls.
The first half ended without extra time. I expect that the English will correct the mistakes of the first half after they understood the way the Slovenians play, and they are likely to score the first goal in the first minutes of the second half.
It is difficult to understand Southgate's strategy at the Euros this time. In the first half, England had almost 70% ball possession, but Slovenia had a good defense with the winning side of the duel. The ongoing second round is also not much different. Slovenia was still quite good at defending even though the English team was in control with ball possession of 85%.
I think Slovenia will try hard to get a draw if the opportunity to get points cannot be realized. However, Slovenia's hard efforts will be in vain if Dernmark elsewhere wins over Serbia.
It's almost the end of the match and both teams have zero goals. England has become weaker and weaker every match day and it isn't very comfortable for them. If they do not win today's match the competition will become harder for them and of cause they won't survive the next round because if they can't face a team like this and win successfully how will they face teams like Spain, France, Croatia, and other strong teams in the tournament.
Slovenia has done their best in this competition and luck has been on their side for a long time. Their defense has been something that needs to be applauded for their consistency.
