The Only Solace for the Three Lions! Pickford Sets a New England Goalkeeper Record with a Clean Sheet

On June 26th, in the final match of Group C of the European Championship, England drew 0-0 against Slovenia. For the Three Lions, the only reason to hold their heads high was probably goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, who has kept a clean sheet in 11 major tournaments since becoming England’s starting goalkeeper, setting a new record for England goalkeepers.

Pickford has been England’s starting goalkeeper since 2018, playing in the 2018 World Cup, the 2020 European Championship, the 2022 World Cup and the 2024 European Championship. During this time, Pickford has repeatedly made crucial contributions, helping England reach the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup and become runners-up at the 2020 European Championship.

In this European Championship, Pickford has maintained his consistent performance, conceding only one goal in three group matches, making him the key contributor to England’s top spot in the group.

Before the start of the European Championship, Pickford was criticized by some. However, after the start of the tournament, he has become the most reliable player for the Three Lions. If England wants to go further in the knockout stages, they will still rely on Pickford’s performance.
