England’s 3 best players during Euro 2024 group stage

England’s Euro 2024 campaign has been a pretty hard watch.

Those that say qualification to the knockout stages is the only thing that matters during the group stages are technically correct, but should it be this mind-numbingly boring to watch some of the world’s best players pull on an England shirt?

The answer is absolutely not. Spain, Germany and even Austria have shown that international football needn’t be so tiresome, but Gareth Southgate hasn’t quite got the memo. Eight years after his appointment, it’s probably a tad late now.

However, while England have been far from swashbuckling, not all those to have donned a white jersey deserved to be chastised for their displays. In fact, a number of the Three Lions’ new-look Euro 2024 squad have impressed in Germany.

Here are England’s three strongest performers from the group stage.
