So, you’ve got an idea of how things have shaped up so far in defence for England – using Opta’s data across a variety of different metrics – compared to the other 23 nations involved in the group stage of Euro 2024.

Now we turn to the attack and it’s a mixed bag.

Again, let’s get the ball rolling with what England have done well.

England are second in the rankings when it comes to 10+ pass sequences (68) – only Germany (72) have a better record.

They are third in total passes (1,862).

In the average possession category, England are fourth (58%) and they also sit fourth for build up attacks (16).

Interestingly, Germany are ranked number one in each of those four categories but have also delivered with goals and top the charts for most scored (8), whereas England are tied 16th in that metric, scoring just two.

England are tied for 21st in direct attacks (1) and are 20th for total shots (29).
