In the first round of the group stage, the two favorites for the title, England and
French
Both edged out their opponents by a score of 1-0. England defeated Serbia while France beat Austria. However, both teams' luxury forward lines failed to break through in the first round of matches.
England 1-0 Serbia
It was young midfielder Bellingham who scored the winning goal for England. Despite the fact that England has a forward line of three players, Foden, Saka and Kane, who are worth a total of 390 million euros, they were unable to find a chance to score in the match.
France 1-0 Austria
France's victory was thanks to an oval goal by an Austrian player. France's starting front line consisted of Thuram, Dembele and Mbappe, with a total value of 305 million euros. However, these three players also failed to break through in the match.
Despite both England and France winning their opening round matches, the luxury forward lines of both teams failed to show the expected offensive firepower. England's Foden (150 million euros), Saka (140 million euros) and Kane (100 million euros), as well as France's Thuram (65 million euros), Dembele (60 million euros) and Mbappe (180 million euros) failed to score in the match.
Despite the mediocre performance of the forward line in the first round of the tournament, the overall strength of the England and France teams remains strong. As the tournament progresses, these top players are expected to find their form and contribute more goals to their teams in the upcoming matches. Fans will continue to monitor the performance of these two title favorites and expect them to show more offensive threats in the coming matches.
