Match Review: Heartbreak for Scotland as Hungary clinch last gasp victory at Euro 2024 Scotland’s Euro 2024 dreams were shattered in dramatic fashion as Kevin Csoboth’s 100th-minute goal secured Hungary a stunning win. Despite needing just a draw to keep their faint hopes alive, Scotland were undone by a late counter-attack, sending shockwaves through the Stuttgart Arena. Steve Clarke’s team failed to register a shot on target, ending their campaign with just one point and once again falling short in the group stages of a major tournament. Hungary, despite losing Barnabas Varga to injury, finished third in Group A and…

England boss Gareth Southgate has received a major boost after Luke Shaw returned to full training ahead of the Three Lions’ Euro 2024 clash against Slovenia. England have four points from two matches and can secure top spot in the group with a win against Slovenia in Cologne on Tuesday. Shaw hasn’t featured for the Three Lions in Germany and was named in the 26-man squad despite carrying a hamstring injury. The Manchester United full-back last played in February and has been on a personalised individual training programme in Germany. With Kieran Trippier struggling with a calf injury, England’s options…

Scotland captain Andy Robertson apologised for ‘letting the country down’ after their devastating defeat to Hungary. Steve Clarke’s side were knocked out of Euro 2024 after conceding a last minute goal in a 1-0 defeat to Hungary in Stuttgart. Scotland realistically needed victory to qualify for the knockout stages and they piled forward in the closing stages in search of a winner. However, they were unpicked by Hungary, who grabbed a goal that could see them make the knockout stages. Scotland managed just one shot on target during the defeat, despite knowing they need to win before the match to…

Stuart Pearce has said Gareth Southgate must look for ‘solutions’ against Slovenia and urged the England boss to consider dropping Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham for their final Euro 2024 group game. Despite sitting top of Group C heading into their final group game, England have endured a stuttering campaign having entered the tournament as one of the heavy favourites. After a narrow 1-0 win against Serbia, Southgate’s side underwhelmed further with an uninspiring display in a 1-1 draw against Denmark. With their passage into the knockouts all but secured, Southgate is expected to tinker with his side as he…

Declan Rice has hailed Trent Alexander-Arnold as ‘one of the best players I’ve ever seen’ and insists he is more than capable of playing in England’s midfield at Euro 2024. Natural right-back Alexander-Arnold has moved into England’s midfield at the Euros to partner Rice but the experiment has had mixed success. England’s midfield was accused of lacking control and rhythm as the Three Lions drew 1-1 with Denmark on Thursday after labouring to a 1-0 win over Serbia in their tournament opener. Several pundits have highlighted Alexander-Arnold as one of the main reasons England are flattering to deceive in Germany,…

David Moyes has attempted to distance himself from becoming Scotland’s next manager after they crashed out of Euro 2024 on Sunday night. Scotland went into their final Group A game against Hungary knowing that realistically only a win would see them progress to the knockouts. With the game goalless, they pushed for a late winner, but Kevin Csoboth’s goal following a blistering counter-attack in the 100th minute gave the three points to Hungary instead. It means Scotland finish bottom of their group with just one point and two goals from three games, with the Tartan Army already on their way…

Gary Lineker has defended his comments about England after captain Harry Kane called on pundits to be more mindful of their criticism of the national team at Euro 2024. Gareth Southgate’s side came under fire from fans and pundits alike after their uninspiring 1-1 draw with Denmark last Thursday. Kane’s performance, in particular, was placed under the microscope by Lineker who said the Bayern Munich striker ‘needs to do a lot better’ before later describing England’s display as s*** on his podcast. Such comments drew a response from Kane on Sunday, who suggested that former players should be aware of…

Cesc Fabregas has named Spain and Germany as his two ‘favourites’ to win Euro 2024, labelling them ‘the most complete teams in the tournament’ based on their displays in the group stage. Spain have flown out of the blocks in their opening two games against Croatia and defending champions Italy, netting four times without conceding a single goal. Luis de la Fuente’s men will aim to make it three wins from three when they take to the field in Dusseldorf for their final Group B contest versus Albania this evening. Tournament hosts Germany, meanwhile, finished as Group A winners to…

Real Madrid defender Antonio Rudiger is a doubt for the last-16 of Euro 2024 after suffering a leg injury. The Germany centre-back has been an ever present for his country as they topped a group consisting of Switzerland, Scotland and Hungary. A last minute goal against the Swiss on Monday night means Germany will face a second-placed team in the last-16. But Rudiger could be absent for that tie as Sky Germany say he is struggling with a hamstring injury. It’s claimed the former Chelsea ace has been playing through the pain barrier during the group stages. And, while Germany’s…
