Swiss newspaper criticizes England's mediocre team, believes the home team will reach the Euro 2024 semi-finals

Highlight England's comeback to defeat Slovakia

England have been unconvincing throughout the tournament but they still qualified for the quarter-finals after coming from behind to beat Slovakia 2-1 after 120 minutes of regulation and extra time in the Euro 2024 round of 16 match on the evening of June 30.

The Three Lions will face Switzerland in the quarter-finals after Murat Yakin's side beat defending champions Italy 2-0 in the last 16.

Blick ( Switzerland) believes that England will not pose any major threat to coach Murat Yakin's team in the quarter-finals, as the Three Lions have so far shown mediocre play, especially their ability to score goals in the last four matches.

"The Three Lions have been in questionable form so far. Although England won their group against Denmark, Slovenia and Serbia, Gareth Southgate's side have only scored two goals in the group stage, despite the transfer value of England's players being €1.52bn.

The Three Lions' strikers also failed to show a convincing performance against Slovakia. Therefore, Switzerland has nothing to fear when facing England in the quarter-finals. The semi-finals are waiting for us ahead," Blick emphasized in the article.

Another Swiss newspaper, Aarau24 , also said that England would have lost to Slovakia if it weren't for Jude Bellingham's moment of genius and luck in injury time.

"The reality is that England lost the game. Gareth Southgate's side were 1-0 down until injury time. But then Jude Bellingham rescued his side with a genius finish.

In any case, if England play poorly in Dusseldorf this weekend, Switzerland will have a great chance to reach the Euro semi-finals for the first time," Aarau24 commented on the home team's chances when meeting England.

The most recent encounter between England and Switzerland was in the 2019 UEFA Nations League third-place play-off, when Southgate's side won on penalties.
