England are through to the Round of 16 at the 2024 European Championships but fans are bitter about the performances of their top stars after the conclusion of the group stage.

The Three Lions dropped points for the second consecutive game after being held to a goalless draw against Slovenia but managed to top Group C with five points from three games.

According to GOAL, Gareth Southgate made just one change to his starting XI and his England team served up arguably their weakest performance, barely threatening Slovenia all through the tie.

Fans have been highly disappointed with superstars like Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, and Phil Foden as ex-players such as Gary Lineker, Wayne Rooney, and Gary had voiced their displeasure with the under-par display from Southgate’s team.

Here, Sports Brief takes a look at the top five England players who have underperformed so far at Euro 2024 in the Three Lions three group games against Serbia, Denmark, and Slovenia.

England’s top 5 flops at Euro 2024

1. Jude Bellingham

Bellingham has been one of England’s worst players at Euro 2024, struggling to impose himself in matches and his performances have done more harm to his Ballon d’Or chances.

The 20-year-old midfielder was one of the stars to watch in the build-up to the European championships after a remarkable first season with Real Madrid after winning La Liga and the UEFA Champions League.

2. Harry Kane

After three games at Euro 2024, Harry Kane has scored just once for England at the ongoing tournament in Germany.

The Bayern Munich forward, who finished as the top scorer in the Bundesliga, was touted to light up Euro 2024 with goals but Kane has struggled to find clear-cut chances as the Three Lions continue to struggle in front of goal.

3. Phil Foden

Euro 2024 was supposed to be Phil Foden’s tournament but the Manchester City star has been one of England’s worst performers so far in the competition.

After being crowned as the Premier League’s Most Valuable Player, the 26-year-old, just like Bellingham, has failed to find his best form and has been widely bashed by fans.

4. Trent Alexander-Arnold

Alexander-Arnold’s position in England’s midfield has come under scrutiny after he was taken off after in the 54th minute in the 1-1 draw with Denmark.

According to Metro UK, Lineker believes the Liverpool right-wing-back has been ‘hung out to dry’ by Gareth Southgate amid his poor display for the Three Lions as he is being played out of position by the England manager.

5. Conor Gallagher

Gallagher had no understanding with Declan Rice, and he made England look bad when they were in possession. He lacked poise and never appeared capable of passing through Slovenia's two banks of four.

The Chelsea midfielder made just 20 passes during the game, fewer than Slovenia goalkeeper Jan Oblak, and it was a miracle he did not give the ball away on more than three occasions.

The Real Madrid star played the full match as the Three Lions produced another uninspiring display, this time against Slovenia in their final group game on Tuesday, June 25.

Bellingham's statistics were poor by his standards: 0 shots on target, one successful dribble out of five tries, 16 possession turnovers, and the lowest rating among the starting English players.
