Since 1996, there have been 31 matches broadcast solely on ITV, with England winning only nine of them. There have been 10 defeats in that time, with 12 draws.The UK's state broadcaster has shown 29 England matches in the same period, with 21 of those games ending in victory for the Three Lions. Konsa impressed as England switched to a wing-back system against the Swiss and arguably produced their best display of the tournament so far.
Southgate must now decide whether to hand Shaw his first start in five months against the Dutch or to stick with Trippier. Of course, the majority of them won't have a ticket, but will still be making themselves heard in the streets in their country's famous orange jerseys. "My memories of playing Holland with the orange in the stadium are vivid, these are the matches we want to play in. You live for these tournaments, that's where you step up."Following the disappointment of a quarter-final exit at the World Cup in Qatar back in 2022, England comfortably qualified for Euro 2024 by finishing top of their group without losing a game.
Few could argue that Southgate didn't come into the tournament with the most exciting trio of attacking players on the continent in Manchester City's Phil Foden, Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham and Bayern Munich's Harry Kane.With the previously mentioned trio of attacking players joined by Arsenal star Bukayo Saka in the starting XI, it was felt by many that England would be finding the net regularly.
They were also the team with the lowest expected goals against score - a metric that calculates the number of goals a team is expected to concede based on the quality of chances their opponents create.After making it into the knockout stages, England were fortunate that their side of the draw had an absence of big hitters - Spain, Germany, Portugal and France were all on the other half of the bracket.
Captain Harry Kane then emphasised England's new-found superiority with his headed winner, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat and setting up a quarter-final clash with Switzerland.
