Luka Modric insists he will not retire after Croatia were left on the brink of elimination at Euro 2024 on Monday evening. The 38-year-old became the oldest goalscorer in the history of the European Championship as he put Croatia in front against Italy, just 33 seconds after missing a penalty. A win would have secured Croatia a second-placed finish in Group B behind Spain, however, Italy snatched a 1-1 draw in injury time to finish as runners-up. The results means Croatia finish the group stage with just two points and are highly unlikely to progress to the last 16 as…

Gary Lineker believes Trent Alexander-Arnold has been ‘hung out to dry’ by Gareth Southgate ahead of England’s final Euro 2024 group game against Slovenia on Tuesday evening. England have already qualified for the Euro 2024 knockout stage following their win against Serbia and their draw with Denmark and a victory over Slovenia would guarantee top spot in Group C for the Three Lions. However, Southgate’s side have faced criticism over their performances in the tournament so far and doubts have been raised over how England will fare against the tougher teams in the competition. Alexander-Arnold’s position in England’s midfield has…

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…

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,…
