England's 2025 campaign started with a frustrating 1-1 draw against Portugal in the UEFA Nations League. Despite an early goal from Alessia Russo, Portugal equalized with a stunning strike in the second half after strategic adjustments by their coach, Francisco Neto. The result leaves England in a precarious position as they strive to assert dominance before the Euro 2025 tournament. The performance particularly highlighted the need for more consistency and effectiveness if they hope to defend their title successfully later this year, especially with a tough match against Spain approaching.
England's first performance of 2025 was disappointing; a draw against Portugal will not instill fear in their opponents as they aim for Euro 2025.
While the first goal by Alessia Russo was a bright spot, the second half performance raised concerns about England's readiness for the Nations League.
