No noise. No nonsense. Just England.
UEFA Nations League
England: Promoted (won League B Group 2)
How England performed
Relegated from League A in the previous edition, England spent the 2024–25 Nations League in League B Group 2 and responded by winning the group. Rice and Grealish scored in a 2–0 win over the Republic of Ireland in Dublin, and two goals from Kane beat Finland by the same score at Wembley.
The one setback came at Wembley in October, when Greece won 2–1, Pavlidis scoring in stoppage time after Bellingham had equalised. England recovered with a 3–1 win in Helsinki, Grealish, Alexander-Arnold and Rice scoring, and then won 3–0 in Athens, where Watkins and Jones scored either side of an own goal. The campaign ended with a 5–0 defeat of Ireland at Wembley, with Kane, Gordon, Gallagher, Bowen and Harwood-Bellis all on the scoresheet. Five wins and one defeat, with 16 goals scored and only three conceded, earned promotion back to League A.
