England beat Slovakia in extra time to thrill their way into the last eight of the European competition, but at a heavy cost. Center back Mark Gushee will need to be suspended from the next match against Switzerland after accumulating a second yellow card, and the other center candidates of the "Three Lions" are inexperienced, so there is a major worry in the defense.
Three minutes into the game, England made a mistake in defense and Mark Gushee was forced to use. 'super-technique' to stop the opposition attack and was shown a yellow card by the referee.The 23-year-old Crystal Palace star also picked up a yellow card against Slovenia. Under the tournament's system, accumulating two yellow cards requires an automatic one-match suspension.
England coach Thufty has been holding the middle of the park with Mark Gushee and Stones since this year's European Nations unfolded. They have kicked every one minute in four matches. The suspension of Mark Gushee for the last eight means that Shoevski is insisting on a change to the center pairing.
The other stalwarts of Ansgan Shah, Levesque Dunk and Zugomes are still shallow at international level. Ansgan Shah and Levesque Dunk only started five or six times for England. As for Zugomez, although they have 15 through the nets, Liverpool have since become more adept at kicking at the left and right gates. They used to be central players, and their performances were unreliable.3. I am afraid that whoever is sent out to shoot Stones will not be confident.
