3 Reasons Why England May Not Win the World Cup

#3 England have not performed well against stronger teams

We already know that England have only got two victories at this World Cup. Now add the fact that those two came from the match against Tunisia and Panama, it can tell you another thing about their so-called amazing performance so far.

Struggling against a traditionally strong team is actually not some brand-new habit that England has adopted. We have to head back to two years ago to see when England won a big match against Germany, which was only a friendly game.

It took David Beckham’s penalty in 2002 to secure their last victory over big teams at the World Cup, beating Argentina 1-0 at that time. The problem has yet to go away in Russia.

England lost to Belgium, and they needed a penalty shootout to send Colombia home. Not to mention, they only managed to get one goal from those two matches via Harry Kane’s spot kick.

Sure, England did change their winning team against Belgium, but so did the opponent. The Colombians also played minus their superstar James Rodriguez.

England knows that if they really plan to go all the way to the final, they will eventually face another big name. If Belgium's second lineup could beat them, so could the other five remaining teams.

Gareth Southgate might want to look into that and find a solution real quick. Otherwise, The Three Lions would have to bid adieu to their biggest opportunity to bring the football back home.
