The Root of England’s Midfield Struggle? Only Rice in Top Running DistanceOn July 1st, England narrowly won 2-1 in extra time against Slovakia in the Round of 16 of the European Championship.

England’s victory wasn’t easy, relying on Bellingham’s 95th-minute bicycle kick equalizer and Kane’s header in extra time to secure their survival.

It’s worth noting that in the top 5 running distances of the entire game, only Rice from England was included. It seems easy to understand why the midfield struggled and the attack was stagnant.
