England’s European Championship qualification campaign has been nothing short of dominant. Gareth Southgate’s successors have built a squad that marries experience with exciting young talent, and the results in Group E underline their supremacy. Five wins from five, twenty-eight goals scored and none conceded — England’s path to Euro 2052 looks unstoppable.
The latest performance came in a resounding 5-0 win over Iceland at Wembley. Joseph Haigh set the tone early with a brace, while Zain Whatmough’s clinical finishing and Matty Roberts’ late strike sealed the result. Whatmough in particular was outstanding, earning a 9.8 rating with two goals and a constant threat down the right. England’s attacking variety is proving too much for their opponents, with goals flowing from every department.
Earlier victories highlighted England’s depth in attack. A 4-0 away win in Reykjavik saw Edon Chafer and Paul Malcolm on the scoresheet, while the 4-0 dismantling of Croatia at Wembley underlined the side’s ruthlessness, with Chafer again central and Malcolm scoring twice. Across the campaign, England’s front line has rotated seamlessly, with veterans like Malcolm still delivering alongside new stars such as Chafer and Whatmough.
The squad depth is perhaps England’s biggest strength. Zoubir Rebiaï and McKauley Civzelis provide defensive stability, while midfielders like Patrick Uzochukwu and Adam Beckford balance ball-winning with creativity. Out wide, Haigh and Roberts add pace and precision, while the goalkeeper pool led by Elias Jimenez ensures security at the back. Transfer values across the squad speak volumes — England possess one of the most valuable national team rosters in world football.
With 15 points and a perfect record, England sit five points clear of Norway in Group E. Croatia, Iceland and Georgia have all been swept aside with minimal resistance, leaving England already assured of qualification barring a collapse. But beyond the statistics, it is the manner of their victories that stands out: possession dominance, high pressing, and relentless chance creation.
England now look forward to their remaining fixtures with momentum and confidence. The blend of established names and new talents makes them one of the favourites for Euro 2052. Supporters will expect not just qualification, but a deep run in the tournament — and on this evidence, England have every reason to believe.
