Southgate says England fans’ unrest ‘creating bit of an issue for group’
England fans get revved as they wait for a Group C match between England and Slovenia at the Euro 2024 soccer tournament in Cologne, Germany, June 25, 2024

The Euro 2020 runners-up have progressed the knockout phase of this summer’s edition as Group C winners, but the unimpressive manner of their displays has caused alarm.

England fans made their frustrations known at the end of Tuesday’s 0-0 draw against stubborn Slovenia, just as they did five days earlier after a fortuitous 1-1 draw against Denmark.
