England midfielder Jude Bellingham commented on the Three Lions’ disappointing 1-1 draw with Ukraine.
- England drew 1-1 against Ukraine
- “It’s not our level,” Bellingham says
- The next friendly match is against Scotland
WHAT HAPPENED? Bellingham shared his thoughts on social media after the match, posting on Instagram: “Not our level, but a point closer to Germany.” It’s a fair summary of the game. Despite the best efforts of Saka, Kane, Walker (who scored the equalizer) and company, England missed a lead and looked sloppy at the back. However, it is a key point that means they remain unbeaten in Euro 2024 qualifying.

THE BIG PICTURE: England remain top of their qualifying group and are on the right track when it comes to securing qualification for Euro 2024 in Germany. Southgate’s side have 13 points from five games and their closest rivals in Group C are Ukraine in second place, followed by Italy in third.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR ENGLAND? England will soon have a chance to right the wrongs from the match against Ukraine when they take on Scotland in a commemorative international friendly at Hampden Park on Tuesday evening. Although the match will not contribute to the team’s Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, they will remain determined to return to winning ways.
