On July 1st, in the Round of 16 of the European Championship, England beat Slovakia 2-1 to advance to the quarterfinals. The most embarrassing part of the game was Manchester City’s rising star, Foden. As soon as he was substituted, the Three Lions immediately turned the tide.
In this European Championship, Foden’s performance has been disappointing, becoming the most criticized player in the England squad. As the Premier League MVP, Foden’s downfall at the European Championship was unexpected.
In the England vs. Slovakia match, Foden remained quiet. With England trailing 0-1 and the match entering the final minutes of the second half, England manager Gareth Southgate substituted Foden for Tony.
However, as soon as Foden left the pitch, Bellingham scored a backheel goal to level the score, helping England miraculously turn the game around to 1-1. At the beginning of extra time, Kane headed in to secure a comeback victory for England.
As soon as Foden was substituted, England achieved an incredible comeback and advanced to the quarterfinals. So, will Southgate continue to trust Foden in the next match?
