Was England's Euro kick-off underwhelming?

England’s Euro 2024 is up and running with a win over Serbia. The 1-0 win may have got the Three Lions off to a perfect start, but there is some doubt in how convincing the performance actually was.

With their superstar talents, is there perhaps a whiff of arrogance by those who follow Gareth Southgate's side? We also take a look at the view across Europe where Kane & Bellingham have starred for Spain & Germany’s biggest clubs.

Ayo Akinwolere is joined by The Athletic's Oli Kay and Jack Pitt-Brooke to discuss.
