England he had to beat two enemies to make his European Championship debut. At Wembley he had to win Modric’s Croatia and company, a mirage of the great team that was runner-up in the last World Cup. Also the heat of London, which didn’t help anyone feel comfortable. The English team came out thanks to a lone goal from Raheem Sterling in the first bars of the second half.
Disregarding a five-point defense, England rubbed the goal until twice just starting. Good shot from Foden that didn’t end up in the back of the net and then Kalvin Phillips made Livakovic shine. When Croatia began to wake up, rest time cut short its resurrection. Southgate’s name was chanted throughout the stadium after he made a fantastic save from Kalvin Phillips’s shot from the left 28 minutes into the match. The Leeds player reached the front of the area, where he gave the ball to Sterling to score the only goal of a rather sleepy game. With half an hour to go, there was none neither sentence nor comeback.
