England will be happy with how the first half went as they’ve steadily grown into the game, but they still lack a cutting edge in the final third as the ghost of Harry Kane is having a minimal impact on the tournament.
There’s so much talent on the bench so surely Gareth Southgate will look to go for the win here, but he’s a manager who tends to go with the safe option first so he may just look to sneak this 1-0.
One star who’s not getting a look in just now is Jadon Sancho, and his Borussia Dortmund teammate Erling Haaland made it clear he needs to be on the field:

It’s going to be a nervy second half, so who’s going to emerge as the hero (or the villain) here?
