2-0 is too embarrassing? England took the lead with an own goal at home, and won all four games, but exposed the weak front line
In the European qualifiers of the World Cup held in the early morning of September 7, England faced Andorra at home. As a result, a game that was generally regarded as unsurprising by the outside world, but it was played in a lifeless manner. You should know that England currently ranks fourth in the world in FIFA, with stars in the team, and Kane, Rice, Bellingham and others are all core figures in the top league. And what about Andorra? Ranked 174th, one of the bottom echelons in Europe, the country's total population is not even as good as a certain district in London, and they have not won the ball in the official game for three consecutive years. The Three Lions relied on their opponent's own goal just like a "funny" to open up the situation, and finally secured the victory with Rice's header, and finally won the small country team with a total population of less than 90,000 2-0.
The European Group K standings in the World Cup qualifiers also confirmed the gap: England won all three games, scoring 6 goals and conceding 0 goals, ranking first; Andorra lost all four games, conceded a lot of goals, and scored zero points. On paper, this should have been a goal training session in England. However, the Three Lions can always bring us unexpected "surprises". After the opening of the game, the Three Lions did take the initiative in the scene, and they were both active in passing and controlling and running, but the strength of Andorra players' fighting was eye-catching. They knew that they were not strong enough, so they simply set up an iron barrel formation, rather than taking more yellow cards than defending the goal. Although England suppressed the opponent's half, it was difficult to create a real threatening opportunity.
In the 21st minute, England launched a high-pressure. Reese James made a high-quality cross from the right, but unfortunately Eze and Kane in front of the goal both missed the ball. After only 5 minutes, the deadlock on the court was broken. Maduaike took the ball from the side, and Andorra's defender made a mistake in clearing the ball, and even scored an own goal and pushed the ball into his own goal. The score became 1-0, and the Three Lions finally "picked" to lead. In the last 20 minutes of the first half, the scene was so dull that the home fans began to boo. At the end of the half, England had only 6 shots, and although the ball was as high as 70%, they only took the lead by an own goal.
The fight has finally accelerated. Maduaike's breakthrough continued to cause damage, Eze's shot in the penalty area was saved, Rashford followed up and missed a little, and sighs from home fans one after another. In the 67th minute, the fans finally received a goal that truly belonged to England. Reese James' cross from the right was accurate, and Rice jumped high in the penalty area, overwhelming the defensive player and headed the goal. The score became 2-0, and the game suspense ended. In the end, England defeated Andorra 2-0, continuing the World Cup record for a complete victory.
From the results, England won all four games in the World Cup, scored 7 goals, maintained a clean sheet, ranking first in Group K, which is a very ideal start. But from the process, England's attack power is far less powerful than imagined. Objectively speaking, England has a lot of stars, but there is a lack of more changes on the offensive end. Maduaike was once the most threatening point. His speed and breakthrough created many opportunities, but the finishing ability of Kane, Rashford and Eze failed to reflect the level that the top forward should have. In addition, England's habit of slowing down prematurely after leading the game has greatly reduced the viewing of the game. It was so difficult to play against Andorra, and when faced with the top European teams, such offensive firepower would probably be difficult to work.
