England is under unexpected pressure to produce a win over Finland in the UEFA Nations League on Sunday.
The gloves are off for an England team in recovery mode as the Three Lions travel to Finland on Sunday on the back of a shocking defeat at home to Greece in the UEFA Nations League. Lee Carsley’s odds of landing the England head coach role on permanent terms appear to have taken a knock after seeing his side lose 2-1 at home to the Group B2 pace-setter on Thursday. It’s fortunate that Finland has yet to take a point thus far in the Nations League and is without a win in five matches, hoping to capitalize on England’s struggles and claim its first-ever win over the Three Lions.
