Euro 2024: England in the eyes of rival fans – ‘Terrible’ and ‘no spark’

David, Scotland fan

England have probably underachieved but they have managed to go through ultimately so they have done something right.

They haven’t played very well but they are there – and Scotland are not.

England among favourites?

Not in that form, no. But I think they will likely get to the final because of that side of the draw. We talk about it and I don’t think the Swiss or maybe even the Dutch will be strong enough. You have to fancy Spain or Germany to win the whole competition.

Wouldn’t you fancy England against one of the ‘big dogs’ in the final?

No, I don’t think so. No. They might win it but on current showing they have not been great.

Gareth Southgate?

It’s a tough one. Again, you are based on results, not on how you play. He will be judged on results and in that respect he’s done well in previous tournaments and has qualified for the quarter-finals here, albeit he hasn’t got the best out of the players as a team.

It’s difficult for us to say whether he should be replaced or not, but I doubt he will be retained after this.
