England Stunned by Greece in 2-1 defeat at Wembley, Sparking Media Outrage
England suffered a shocking 2-1 defeat against Greece in a UEFA Nations League match at Wembley last night, a loss that has left fans and media reeling.
The Greek team came into the match under emotional strain after the tragic death of their player, George Baldock, who was found dead at his home just days prior.
Despite Greece’s request to postpone the match, UEFA denied the appeal, and the game went ahead as scheduled.
Greece took the lead early in the second half with Vangelis Pavlidis scoring the opener in the 48th minute.
England responded late with Jude Bellingham equalizing in the 88th minute, seemingly saving the Three Lions from a home defeat.
However, in stoppage time, Pavlidis struck again, sealing the victory for Greece with a 90+4 minute goal.
The British media did not hold back in their criticism of the performance. The Telegraph described the loss as one of England’s “most humiliating nights,” with manager Lee Carsley’s tactics coming under fire.
The Daily Mail dubbed the game a “horror show,” lambasting England’s disorganized play and defensive errors.
While Jude Bellingham’s late equalizer offered hope, it wasn’t enough to prevent the defeat, and Pavlidis’s decisive goal compounded England’s misery.
This result has ignited a wave of scrutiny, with Carsley’s strategy being heavily questioned as England’s Nations League hopes take a major hit.
