England met Iceland in a warm-up match for the European national team and suffered an unexpected defeat. However, the team was not discouraged, and they are determined to turn this loss into motivation to shine in this year's finals.
Looking back at the match between England and Serbia, I predicted a 0:0 draw in the first half. But with the motivation of Zudibinenham, the team is expected to turn around and win in the second half.
England's team is full of talented attacking players, and they capitalized on their chances to win the match and advance to the first place in the group. However, the defensive end of the team still needs to be strengthened, which is my main concern. But if I were team leader Shovki, I would wait until England meets a tough opponent in the knockout stage before I start to pay attention to this issue.
England's lineup at the offensive end of the field is exciting to watch, and the players have a plethora of options to choose from. Phil Cotton is certainly one of those special and talented players in my eyes.
Meanwhile, Serbia, the best in Eastern Europe, made it to their first ever European finals week. Dusin Tedić, a 35-year-old veteran, remained the centerpiece of the team's attack, contributing two goals and four assists from the periphery, creating breakthrough chances for Dusin Warholović and Aleksandar Mizunović.
Nonetheless, Serbia's defense is slightly weak, and England is expected to capitalize on their chances to make a comeback in the second half.
In the other match, Slovenia takes on Denmark. I predict Denmark will have the upper hand, with striker Helen leading the attack. He has been playing well in friendlies recently and is confident of a debut season at Manchester United.
Denmark has had a great international run in recent years and look for them to continue this glorious tradition. The team has a great understanding between the players and hopefully the national team will continue to improve and fight for the historical legacy of being European champions.
Slovenia has made it to the European final week for the second time since 2000. I'm curious to see how talented rising star Bantjevinszko performs on the European stage and how goalkeeper Obi plays in the tournament, who has a lot of experience in the game but is expected to face a great challenge.
