Gary Neville predicts two changes Southgate will make for England’s next game | Football Gary Neville had predicted England manager Gareth Southgate will make two changes to his starting XI for Tuesday’s Euro 2024 clash against Slovenia. The Three Lions head into their final Group C fixture with one foot already in the knockout phase and currently sit top of the section on four points. Despite that commanding position, England’s performances against Serbia and Denmark have drawn widespread criticism. Southgate named the same starting line-up against the Danes as he did in his side’s tournament opener, but there has been…

Thibaut Courtois will be watching Belgium’s second Euro 2024 group game vs Romania at home like the rest of us today, having not been named in Belgium’s squad for the tournament. This is despite the fact that Courtois is fit to play, having started in goal for Real Madrid for the Champions League final win over Borussia Dortmund earlier this month. Courtois has endured a hugely frustrating 2023/24 campaign, tearing the ACL in his left knee on the eve of the season, before tearing the meniscus in his other knee upon his return to training in March – restricting him…

Cristiano Ronaldo saw the funny side as he posed for a selfie with a young pitch invader during Portugal’s Euro 2024 clash against Turkey. The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star had jus played a key role in creating Portugal’s third goal of a one-sided contest for Bruno Fernandes. In the process, Ronaldo reached yet another personal milestone, with that assist representing his seventh in European Championships, one more than the previous joint record holder Karel Poborsky. Moments later, the game had to be paused for a brief interruption as the young fan evaded numerous stewards to get close…

Benjamin Sesko says he was ‘happy’ to have had transfer interest in him from the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea. The striker, currently starring for Slovenia at Euro 2024, had emerged as a top summer target for several clubs including London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea as well as Manchester United. But in a surprising move, Sesko decided to pen a new contract with RB Leipzig, though it does contain a gentleman’s agreement over a future potential transfer. This early move would perhaps suggest that the 21-year-old didn’t want the distraction of a transfer saga while he was in Germany representing…

Portugal boss Robert Martinez expressed concerns about the safety of his players after several fans got onto the pitch to seek a selfie with Cristiano Ronaldo during and immediately after Portugal’s 3-0 win over Turkey in Dortmund on Saturday. Portugal captain Ronaldo posed for a selfie with a young boy with around 20 minutes left to play, but five others later made it on to the pitch in an apparent attempt to take a picture with the visibly unhappy Al-Nassr star.. Man of the match Bernardo Silva brushed off the incidents, saying it was ‘the price we pay for being…

Ashley Cole has urged Gareth Southgate to ‘rest’ Bukayo Saka and afford Phil Foden the chance to thrive in his best position in England’s upcoming Euro 2024 game against Slovenia. Despite two indifferent displays against Denmark and Serbia, the Three Lions are virtually assured of a place in the last 16 having collected four points from two games. England looked disjointed against the Danes in midweek, however, and Southgate is facing calls to change his starting XI in order to find the coherence that will be required if his side are to make to the latter stages. Saka has been…

Jarrod Bowen laughed off Gary Lineker’s coarse four-letter description of England’s performance against Denmark as the optimistic forward urged fans to stick with the stuttering side. Having kicked off Euro 2024 with a hard-fought 1-0 win against Serbia, a disjointed display in Thursday’s 1-1 draw with Denmark raised alarm and heaped pressure on the team. Fans booed at the final whistle in Frankfurt and pundits piled in on Gareth Southgate’s men, including former England striker Lineker as he labelled the overall performance ‘s***’ on his podcast. Bowen shuts himself off from such talk but believes ex-players can say what they…

England midfielder Adam Wharton has revealed what Prince William told the dejected Three Lions in the dressing room after their disappointing draw with Denmark. After labouring to a 1-0 win over Serbia in their Euros opener, England were expected to produce an improved and more coherent performance against the Danes. But England continued to underwhelm on Thursday night, drawing 1-1 in a display that suggests their tag as Euro 2024 favourites is misguided. England took an early lead, just as they did against Serbia, but once again allowed their opponents back into the game as Morten Hjulmand’s long-range strike cancelled…

Match Review: Spain qualify for knockout stages with win over Italy Spain Secures Last 16 Spot at Euro 2024 with Dominant Win Over Italy Spain clinched their place in the Euro 2024 last 16 with a scintillating performance against defending champions Italy in Gelsenkirchen. Despite dominating the game and creating numerous chances, Spain secured a narrow 1-0 victory, thanks to an own goal by Riccardo Calafiori in the second half. Uefa Euro 2024 Spain vs Italy – Match Highlights Spain’s relentless attack was kept at bay by Italy’s goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma for nearly an hour. The breakthrough came when Alvaro…

Match Review: Denmark 1-1 England – ‘Wasteful England lacked energy’ England manager Gareth Southgate acknowledged that his team is “falling short” after a 1-1 draw against Denmark in their Euro 2024 match last night. Despite an early goal from Harry Kane, Denmark quickly equalised, leaving England’s qualification for the knockout stages in question. UEFA EURO 2024: Match Recap  The game started promisingly for England with Harry Kane scoring the opening goal at the 18-minute mark. However, Denmark equalised 17 minutes later through a stunning 25-yard strike by Morten Hjulmand. Phil Foden came close to regaining the lead for England in…

Harry Kane made two excuses for England’s drab display against Denmark after the Three Lions were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw. Qualification for the next round as group winners looked to be on the cards when Kane prodded his team ahead in the 18th minute. The lead lasted only until 10 minutes before the break, however, when Morten Hjulmand powered home a long-range piledriver after Kane had needlessly conceded possession. A disappointing individual performance reached it’s almost inevitable conclusion 20 minutes from the end when Kane was replaced by Ollie Watkins. For the second game in succession, England…

Gareth Southgate took Harry Kane off in England’s Euro 2024 clash with Denmark because his side ‘needed fresh’ legs with Trent Alexander-Arnold also hauled off during the dismal draw. Kane gave England the lead after 18 minutes in Frankfurt but Morten Hjulmand levelled 10 minutes before half-time with a wonderful strike from range. England wilted from that point, repeatedly giving the ball away across the park in a lethargic display where they missed the opportunity to qualify for the knockout stages of the competition as group winners. Kane struggled to impose himself on the game after his goal and in…

Gary Lineker launched a scathing attack on England captain Harry Kane after his ‘lethargic’ display in the Euro 2024 draw against Denmark. Kane opened the scoring for England in their second Group C match on Thursday night but was replaced after 70 minutes after a frustrating night in Frankfurt. The Bayern Munich striker was accused of persistently dropping too deep as the Three Lions struggled to create anything of note against the Danes. While he was certainly wasn’t the only England star to underperform on the night, he was targeted with perhaps the most brutal criticism. Lineker, one of Kane’s…

Gary Neville believes Gareth Southgate must change Declan Rice’s position for England, just as Mikel Arteta did at Arsenal. It comes after the Three Lions’ dismal 1-1 draw with Denmark on Thursday as their lacklustre Euro 2024 campaign continued in Frankfurt. Few of England’s players are performing well, even those that have been undroppable over the past few years, with Declan Rice looking completely out of shorts. Considered one of the best defensive midfielders in the world, the £100million Arsenal star has looked a shadow of himself this tournament, but Neville has suggested that Arteta’s tactics may be having a…

The brother and agent of Marcus Rashford appeared to aim a dig at Gareth Southgate following England’s woeful draw with Denmark at Euro 2024. The Three Lions were lacklustre in Frankfurt on Thursday as they laboured to a 1-1 draw against a Danish side they ought to have beaten. This result and the underwhelming win over Serbia in their tournament opener has left Southgate with much to ponder, with England’s attack looking worryingly blunt and uninspired. Though the squad is packed with attacking talent, several forwards, who used to be England stalwarts, didn’t make the plane, including Jack Grealish and…

Jordan Henderson has hit back at England’s critics after the dismal draw with Denmark at Euro 2024, in a message of support for his former teammates. The Three Lions’ Euros campaign hasn’t been going to plan at all with the underwhelming 1-0 win over Serbia followed up by a lacklustre 1-1 draw with the Danes on Thursday. Harry Kane opened the scoring after 18 minutes but a stunning strike from Morten Hjulmand brought the game level, with Gareth Southgate’s team clueless in attack and muddled in midfield. The post-match analysis was brutal, with only one or two players safe from…

Ian Wright has lauded the consistency of Bukayo Saka and insists the Arsenal star must now be considered ‘undroppable’ by England manager Gareth Southgate. Saka ended the season nursing an injury that ruled him out of the Gunners’ final game of the campaign against Everton. The 22-year-old was back at his best, however, on Sunday as the Three Lions began their Euro 2024 campaign with a narrow 1-0 win over Serbia. It was Saka’s cross that created the only goal of a tight contest for Jude Bellingham and enhanced his already impressive goal involvement record for his country. Despite his…

Euro 2024 is now in full swing with the second round of group games now underway.
