To suggest that England have yet to set this European Championship alight is something of an understatement. In classic fashion, the team laboured to an opening game win over Serbia before an especially turgid draw with Denmark. Yet, thanks to this expanded Euros format, they have already qualified for the round of 16.
No nation can win the tournament in the group stage (only get knocked out) and England have easily avoided that particular humiliation. Still, given the embarrassment of riches within the squad — the best player in La Liga, the top scorer in the Bundesliga and some of the most talented Premier League stars — England fans might expect a performance or two.
