Italian journalist Tancredi Palmeri has hit back after Kevin De Bruyne called him ‘stupid’ for bringing up Belgium’s so-called ‘golden generation’ in the wake of their Euro 2024 exit, saying the midfielder should have been brave enough to say the insult to his face. France beat Belgium to a quarter-final spot thanks to a late own goal from Jan Vertonghen on Monday evening, ensuring the Red Devils’ long wait for silverware at a major tournament goes on. Belgium have repeatedly underachieved despite boasting the likes of Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku, Thibaut Courtois, Vincent Kompany and Dries Mertens in recent years…

Clive Tyldesley says he is ‘more than disappointed’ at ITV’s decision to end their 28-year association with the popular commentator. The 69-year-old called his final game for ITV on Saturday as Euro 2024 hosts Germany beat Denmark to reach the quarter-finals.

Alan Shearer singled out Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo for praise after the Netherlands beat Romania to reach the quarter-finals of Euro 2024.

Gakpo’s 20th-minute opener put the Netherlands ahead and Donyell Malen scored two goals in the final ten minutes to finally break…

Turkey scored the fastest-ever goal in a European Championship knockout game on their way to edging out Austria in a thriller and reaching the quarter-finals of Euro 2024. Austria failed to deal with Arda Guler’s early corner, allowing Turkey defender Merih Demiral to lash home into the roof of the net after just 57 seconds. It was the fastest goal in a knockout game at the Euros and the second-fast European Championship goal of all time following Albania’s stunning goal after 23 seconds against Italy earlier in the tournament. Demiral, who plays in the Saudi Pro League, rose well to…

Alan Shearer has slammed ‘ridiculous’ calls for Jude Bellingham to be dropped after Didi Hamman was among those calling for England boss Gareth Southgate to take drastic action at Euro 2024. Real Madrid midfielder Bellingham rescued England’s Euros hopes with a stunning overhead kick in injury-time against Slovakia, before captain Harry Kane scored an extra-time winner to send the Three Lions into the quarter-finals. Despite his wondergoal – and scoring in England’s first Euros game against Serbia – Bellingham has endured a mixed campaign over in Germany and was largely anonymous in the group games against Denmark and Slovenia. That…
