On July 7th, in the Euro Cup quarter-final, England’s match against Switzerland saw an astonishing play unfold. During a corner kick, the English team failed to mount a threatening attack, culminating in a back pass to goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, leaving English fans utterly bewildered.
The encounter between England and Switzerland was marked by a conservative approach from both sides. The entire first half saw a paltry number of shots on goal, leading to a rather somnolent atmosphere.
In one of England’s corner kick attempts, the taker sent the ball to Saka, who then passed it on to Mount, Foden, and Walker. However, instead of generating a meaningful offensive, the ball eventually found its way back to goalkeeper Pickford.
This baffling sequence of events left English fans stunned and bewildered, eliciting a wave of boos from the spectators. Social media erupted with outrage and disbelief, with fans expressing their astonishment: “After a corner kick, it took over 10 seconds of passing to reach Pickford’s feet, truly magical,” and “What in the world is England doing out there?”
