In a surprising defeat, England lost 2-1 to Greece at Wembley, marking Greece's first victory against England in history. Vangelis Pavlidis scored both goals for Greece, while Jude Bellingham netted a late equalizer for England. The match was overshadowed by tributes to George Baldock, a player with Greek roots who recently passed away. Interim coach Lee Carsley's tactical decision to play without a recognized striker backfired as England struggled to convert possession into effective chances. Despite a better second-half performance after substitutions, England's defense failed to cope with Greece's counter-attacks, culminating in Pavlidis's stoppage-time winner. This defeat casts doubt on Carsley's future as coach and complicates England's efforts to return to the top tier of international football.
