Maguire's absurd mistake with England that everyone is making fun of on social media

This Saturday the England National Team drew 1-1 against Ukraine at the Wroclaw Stadium in Poland and for the first time failed to win a match in group C of the Euro 2024 qualifiers. However, their situation is very positive: with 13 points from 5 matches, they lead the standings and are 6 points ahead of their rivals, who are in second place. In fact, in their next match, in October against Italy at Wembley, they could secure qualification.

But this did not prevent criticism after a poor performance against Ukraine. The Three Lions have a far superior team to their rivals and they failed to show it on the field. And they even started losing the match because of Oleksandr Zinchenko's goal after 26 minutes of the first half. The Arsenal left-back received a pass inside the box and shot comfortably to beat the resistance of goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

Beyond the merit of Ukraine, who made a great play with several combinations between their attacking players to generate the spaces for Zinchenko's goal, there was a detail of the English defense that provoked the anger (and mockery) of the fans.

The protagonist was Harry Maguire: in the moments before the goal he can be seen in a strange position, as he is not defending the ball or marking the opposing players, but very close to his teammate Marc Guehi, as if he was defending him.

Fans did not forgive him

After the match, many users on social media targeted the Manchester United defender for this situation. "What the hell is Harry Maguire doing?" one wrote. A second wrote: "New season old Harry Maguire". "This is premium Maguire," said another. However, others defended him, saying: “Is he the only player on the pitch? You people will scapegoat him at the club, and now scapegoat him on National Team duties too.”
