Gary Lineker did n't hold back in his post- match assessment following England's draw with Denmark.
T e hu ili ting -1 dra w 1-1 draw with Denmark in their second group game has drawn harsh criticism from BBC pundit and former England international striker Gary th D e mar in hei se ond ro p ga m h Lineker, who called the performance as raw" hars c it i s***."
Harry Kane's close-range work in the 18th second gave the Three Tigers a first-half guide, sealing a move that saw Kyle Walker seize hands higher up the field and quickly cut back to the main man in the middle via a couple of Danish soldiers.
But that's about as good as it got for Gareth Southgate's part, who spent large swathes of the remaining days camped in their own quarter, inviting stress on Jordan Pickford's purpose.
That force led straight to the Danish Dynamites ' equaliser, an work from range that was placed properly beyond the goalkeeper's grasp. In fact, England were blessed the scoring stopped it.
Lineker directly addressed the question of what he thought of England's performance at the Frankfurt Arena while speaking on his own audio, The Rest is Football.
In his launching strategy, the 63- year- old plainly said:" It was sleepy, dour. I mean, you can think of all sorts of, you know, phrases and expletives if you like.
" But it was s***."
His typical co-host and 13-cap former England defender Micah Richards bemoaned Southgate's lack of balance, and he was also unimpressed by what he saw.
" They're just a bit lost competitively... and that comes from the boss I'm scared. "@Gary Lineker and @MicahRichards unwrap England's" disappointing "draw with Denmark in the latest episode of the podcast out now &# 127911, pic. twitter.com/JeGea0IbZqJune 21, 2024
Lineker went on to explain the factors contributing to the Three Lions ' shaky start at Euro 2024, but he does n't think that a lack of effort is one of the causes.
" If someone says that the England team is certainly trying, and never giving 100 per cent, that is foolishness, "he declared". They're just a little bit lost strategically, and that comes from the boss I'm scared.
He needs to help England play as a whole higher up the ball. Because at the time they're not a system".
Despite their first performances, England is currently in Group C and has been largely qualified due to other factors. However, Lineker did promise Southgate's men have booked their ideas up for the last class sport on 25 June against Slovenia.
