Big Pay, Big Expectations: Southgate Falls Short
Gareth Southgate is the highest-paid coach in the tournament but has not lived up to expectations despite having a talented squad at his disposal. England’s performance has been disappointing, with only a brief moment of excitement against Serbia.
The draw against Denmark was lackluster, with the team struggling to find cohesion.
Looking ahead to the next challenge in the knockout stages.

Southgate’s tactics have not been effective, with his formula failing to produce results. Despite having talented players, England has struggled to shine on the field.
