Foden has yet another dismal performanceStats from Switzerland clash go viralEngland performances remain under the microscopeWHAT HAPPENED?
England's overall average performance continued in their penalty shootout win over Switzerland in the quarter-final of Euro 2024.

The selections from Gareth Southgate and the formations used by the 53-year-old throughout the tournament have been heavily criticized by fans and pundits alike for not utilizing the skill sets of the stars lined in the team. He shifted to a three-man defence against Switzerland, and while the team did play better than their previous showings, the tournament is yet to see their best possible version.

Foden was replaced by Liverpool star man Trent Alexander-Arnold five minutes from the end of extra time and it was Alexander-Arnold who scored the winning penalty for Gareth Southgate's Three Lions to put them into the semi-final of the tournament against the Netherlands.
WHAT NEXT FOR FODEN?
It is likely that Southgate may not want to tinker too much with his side heading into the clash against the Netherlands on July 10, and Premier League Player of the Year Foden will likely have another chance to impress in the crucial contest.
