England shakes her head again.

A 0-0 win against old rivals Scotland, how can that be?

Then also at home at Wembley Stadium!

"We look like old England again," complained the former national player Rio Ferdinand after the unimaginative appearance against the outsider.

After just a week of the European Football Championship, the status of the former co-favorite on the island is seriously shaken.

The first experts criticize coach Gareth Southgate, the media are looking for reasons for the setback and the players are frustrated.

And everyone is asking the same questions: Was that a one-off setback?

Or what's next?

"Scotland brave-hearted, England half-hearted" was the headline of "The Daily Telegraph" on Saturday.

Even Southgate admitted that his side hadn't done enough to win against the bravely fighting Scots.

However, the 50-year-old quickly tried to look ahead.

"What did Sancho do?"

"This is a tournament," emphasized the former professional.

“A point is still an important step on the way to the next round.

And that's our first goal. ”Soberly, Southgate is right: With four points now, the Three Lions can practically plan for the round of 16 before their final group game against the Czech Republic on Tuesday.

But most fans in England do not look at the damper on their neighbors soberly.

Early on in the tournament, a lot revolves around fundamental problems for this team.

Striker and captain Harry Kane has so far been particularly noticeable at the European Championship because he was substituted shortly before the end of both the 1-0 opener against Croatia and Scotland.

"Harry Kane looked out of place because the system around him wasn't working," wrote The Guardian. That is problem number two: The highly gifted wing tongs around Phil Foden, Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford or Jack Grealish do not ignite. And Jadon Sancho? He didn't even play.

“We have all of these players. Sancho? What has he done? Something must have happened behind the scenes, ”suspected ex-national player Ferdinand. In the first game of the Three Lions against Croatia, the Borussia Dortmund attacker was not even in the squad. “I really don't understand. In the first game he didn't even sit on the bench, in the second he didn't come onto the field. You have such a great talent to sit around ”, criticized Ferdinand. Southgate only switched twice against the Scots, although he could have switched up to five times. This also causes head shaking in view of the breadth of the squad.

But despite all the talents: England found solutions only very rarely in the constant rain at Wembley against the tightly staggered and low-standing guests. Cheered on by their own fans, Scotland defended with head and heart, and it is precisely this spirit that the Bravehearts now want to take with them in their preliminary round against Croatia on Tuesday. "It's important that we keep this feeling from the fans and from ourselves now that it wasn't for nothing," said captain Andy Robertson. "We have to use it to get to the round of 16."

For this, the Scots need a win against the World Cup runner-up. It doesn't seem impossible. Coach Steve Clarke's team will be back on Tuesday at their home in Hampden Park in Glasgow. There the own supporters will celebrate even louder than at Wembley. The English fans would also like to cheer again on Tuesday. That now depends on your team.
