Shearer: If England Can't Win Euro 2028, I May Never See Them Win a Trophy
Legendary England striker Alan Shearer wrote a column analyzing England's third-place finish at the 2024 World Cup and their future prospects. He criticizes manager Thomas Tuchel for a costly mistake that cost them a place in the final, noting that Argentina's team was weaker than four years ago. Shearer believes England currently trails behind Argentina, Spain, and France. He expresses urgency about winning Euro 2028, which will be hosted in England, stating that if they fail, he may never see England win a trophy in his lifetime. Shearer discusses squad concerns, particularly the lack of a clear successor to captain Harry Kane, who will be nearly 35 by then. He also comments on young players like Lewis Miley and Rio Ngumoha, the need for goalkeeper James Trafford to leave Manchester City for playing time, and praises potential future managers like Eddie Howe and Pep Guardiola, though noting Tuchel has a two-year contract.
