Hungary vs England preview
Despite the disappointing end result, Gareth Southgate will have been proud of his team’s performance in reaching their first major final since 1966 this summer.
That success was first of all built on a defence that did not let in a single goal until the semi-finals, conceding just twice in seven games all tournament.
In fact, they have now kept 17 clean sheets in their last 23 fixtures, letting in just seven goals in total across that period.
