England’s stars fail to shine again (Photo by Franco Arland/Getty Images)England turned in another worrying performance at Euro 2024 after being held to a goalless draw with Slovenia. England’s place in the knockout stages was already guaranteed ahead of kick-off. But it was too slow and too passive again as the Three Lions struggled to break down the opposition on another dull outing where last week’s problems showed no signs of improving. While there was a bit more life in proceedings following the second-half introductions of Kobbie Mainoo and Cole Palmer, there is still plenty for Gareth Southgate to mull…

The Three Lions had already qualified for the last 16 ahead of their final group game on Tuesday evening but did little to appease the widespread criticism they have received so far this tournament with another disjointed display. The stalemate against Slovenia in Cologne sees England finish with five points in Group C after the 1-0 win over Serbia and the 1-1 draw…

England progress to the knockout stages as Group C winners but turned in another underwhelming display in a dull stalemate on Tuesday evening. Jeers were heard around the Cologne Stadium as the final whistle blew with Southgate approaching the section housing England supporters after the game. As he applauded the fans, several empty…

Gareth Southgate praised Kobbie Mainoo’s impact after England’s draw with Slovenia (PA)Gary Neville believes Kobbie Mainoo must start in England’s midfield for their Euro 2024 last-16 tie on Sunday. The Three Lions delivered another disjointed display in their final game in Group C on Tuesday evening as they were held to a goalless draw by Slovenia. But the result was enough to see Gareth Southgate’s side finish top of the group, which means they will play one of Netherlands, Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine or Belgium in their first game of the knockout stage on Sunday at 5pm. Southgate saw similar problems…

Keane was impressed with his appearance off the bench (Picture: ITV)Gareth Southgate will now be under ‘huge pressure’ to start Chelsea star Cole Palmer in their last 16 showdown at Euro 2024. Palmer struck 27 goals in all competitions in his debut season for the Blues but was an unused substitute in England’s first two group games against Serbia and Denmark. In their final group game, the Three Lions laboured to a drab goalless draw against Slovenia. Struggling to create anything of note, the 22-year-old was brought off the bench after 70 minutes to replace Bukayo Saka. Palmer and Kobbie…

Cole Palmer was England’s biggest attacking threat against Slovenia (Getty)Gareth Southgate was coy over the chances of Cole Palmer and Kobbie Mainoo starting England’s Euro 2024 last-16 tie this Sunday. England finished top of Group C with five points but delivered another uninspiring performance in the goalless draw with Slovenia on Tuesday evening. The result means Southgate’s side will now play one of the best third-placed teams in the last 16 this Sunday at 5pm, which could be any one of the Netherlands, Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine or Belgium. Mainoo came on at half time in the draw with Slovenia and…

Wright believes it could open up England’s attack in the knockout stages (Picture: ITV)Ian Wright has urged Gareth Southgate to bring Cole Palmer into the England squad… even if it means deploying Bukayo Saka at left-back to accommodate the Chelsea star. England toiled to a goalless draw against Slovenia in their final Group C match on Tuesday evening – a result which was good enough to secure qualification for the knockout stages as group winners. Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden and Saka were among those who again struggled to replicate their club form but there were promising signs off…

Ellie Alderson, partner of Ollie Watkins, and Megan Davison, wife of Jordan Pickford, were among the WAGs at England’s match against Slovenia (Picture: Getty Images)The wives and girlfriends (WAGs) of the England team are getting nearly as much attention as their footballer partners at the Euros this year. All eyes were on Dani Dyer (Jarrod Bowen’s partner), Ellie Alderson (Ollie Watkins partner), Megan Davison (wife of Jordan Pickford), Aine May Kennedy (Conor Gallagher’s partner), Tolami Benson (Bukayo Saka’s partner) and Annie Keating (Anthony Gordon’s partner) at England’s match against Slovenia on June 25. The women were all looking glamorous but…

England delivered another disjointed display in their stalemate against Slovenia on Tuesday evening but finished top of Group C with five points and will now play either the Netherlands, Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine or Belgium in their last-16 tie in Gelsenkirchen at 5pm on Sunday. Palmer, meanwhile, made was handed his first appearance of the tournament as he came off the bench to replace Bukayo Saka…

Richard Keys has called for Gareth Southgate to be sacked immediately (Getty/beIN Sports)Former Sky Sports host Richard Keys says he would sack Gareth Southgate ahead of England’s Euro 2024 last-16 tie on Sunday.

Southgate, meanwhile, was booed and had empty beer cups thrown in his direction as he approached England supporters after…

Despite the lackluster performances England top group and that is a job done. But as England fans, we need to dream, we need to live on the hope of performance. Standing in a pub, telling our mates what we saw, whilst driving off the energy of one game that lifts us for two years.

Final Whistle: Croatia 1-1 Italy – Italy secure second place in Group B and are through to the R16 Match Review: Last-minute equaliser breaks Croatian hearts and sends Italy through In a dramatic finish, Mattia Zaccagni scored in the final minute of stoppage time, allowing Italy to secure a late equaliser against Croatia and ensuring the defending champions’ progression to the last 16 of Euro 2024. Luka Modric initially seemed to have won the game for Croatia, scoring a powerful shot early in the second half after having a penalty saved. His goal appeared to be enough to send Croatia through…

John Stones has hailed Marc Guehi’s impact for England at Euro 2024 as the Crystal Palace defender continues to be linked with some of the biggest clubs in the Premier League. Guehi has started alongside Stones in Germany, forming a solid centre-back partnership and allaying fears England’s defence could be vulnerable following Harry Maguire’s injury setback. The 23-year-old only had 11 caps prior to the start of the Euros but has looked every inch an England player despite the team’s general struggles. Guehi has been linked with Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle United in recent weeks and is doing his…

Dominik Szoboszlai has called for a major rule change which would allow medics to ‘immediately’ run onto the field in the wake of Barnabas Varga’s horrendous injury during Hungary’s 1-0 victory over Scotland. There were worrying scenes in Sunday’s cagey Group A contest at Euro 2024 as Hungary forward Varga had to be stretchered off the pitch after a mid-air collision with Angus Gunn in the 68th minute. After Kevin Csoboth found a dramatic 100th-minute winner to eliminate Scotland from the tournament, it was confirmed that Varga was ‘conscious and in a stable condition’ but had suffered a fractured cheek bone and…

England legend Alan Shearer was furious after a ‘terrible decision’ cost Scotland in their devastating Euro 2024 defeat to Hungary on Sunday. Steve Clarke’s side crashed out of the tournament after a 1-0 defeat in Stuttgart, with Hungary scoring in the 11th minute of stoppage time. Scotland needed to win to keep their hopes of reaching the knockout stages alive. But Clarke’s man managed just one shot on target as their hopes of progressing faded away. However, things could have been so different had Scotland been awarded a penalty when Stuart Armstrong was upended in the area. The former Southampton…

As the summer of sport continues, we bring you more bad news if you’re an EastEnders fan but as this is soapland, there’s also a bit of a twist in store too. If you’re planning on tuning into BBC One this evening to take a trip to Walford, then you will receive quite the surprise as sadly, the show isn’t airing. As always, we have all the information regarding the show and when it will return to our screens. So, here’s everything you need to know – including a way you can get around the soap not be broadcasted tonight.…

Alan Shearer believes Gareth Southgate has two undroppable players in his squad despite England’s slow start to Euro 2024. The Three Lions laboured to a 1-0 win over Serbia in their opening game of the Euros before being held to a 1-1 draw by Denmark last time out. Victory over Slovenia on Tuesday night will guarantee England top spot in Group C but several pundits are already questioning whether the team are capable of lifting a major trophy for the first time since 1966. Shearer was highly critical of England’s performance against Denmark and Gareth Southgate’s tactics which proved largely…

England’s Euro 2024 campaign hasn’t been going to plan so far, but history suggests it could get a lot worse when they play Slovenia tonight. As per usual, the BBC and ITV are showing every game from the tournament live, with the former broadcasting the Three Lions’ opening two games against Serbia and Denmark. But the now crucial clash against Slovenia in Cologne will be on ITV, which will concern fans as over the years it has been noted that the national team perform way better when on the Beeb as opposed to their advert-heavy rivals. But is ITV’s coverage…

Manchester United should make a move for Real Madrid wonderkid Arda Guler with the Turkey star lighting up Euro 2024, Dwight Yorke says. Going in to the Euros, Guler was one of the promising young stars fans and clubs were going to be keeping an eye on and so far he’s shown exactly why. The 19-year-old was electric in Turkey’s opening game against Georgia, scoring a stunner in the 3-1 win, though he was surprisingly benched and limited to a 20 minute cameo in the 3-0 loss to Portugal. Vincenzo Montella will likely restore him to the starting XI for…

Hungary star Barnabas Varga has spoken out for the first time since undergoing surgery for a serious head injury sustained in the Euro 2024 win over Scotland. Varga was knocked unconscious after colliding with Scotland goalkeeper Angus Gunn during the second-half of Sunday night’s huge game in Stuttgart. There were worrying scenes as play was halted for some time before the forward was stretched off the pitch, with Hungary going on to win the match in the 100th minute. After full-time, Hungary’s Football Association announced that Varga was ‘conscious and in a stable condition’ but would ‘most likely undergo surgery’ after…

Kylian Mbappe is ‘raring to go’ but there is no guarantee he will play for France against Poland at Euro 2024 on Tuesday evening. That is according to France manager Didier Deschamps as his star player continues to recover from a broken nose sustained in the opening 1-0 win against Austria. Mbappe, 25, collided with defender Kevin Danso toward the end of the game and was later taken to hospital but thankfully for Les Bleus fans he did not need to undergo surgery. He will however wear a mask for the rest of the tournament and while he was on…

N’Golo Kante has suggested that he would be open to finishing his career in Europe after his impressive performances for France at Euro 2024 and has credited Chelsea for helping him improve as a midfielder. The 33-year-old was a surprise inclusion in Didier Deschamps’ squad for Euro 2024 but has played a pivotal role in France’s tournament so far as he was named as Player of the Match in the 1-0 win over Austria and the goalless draw with the Netherlands. Kante made the move to the Saudi Pro League last summer, joining Al-Ittihad on a free transfer after his…

England have already secured a place in the Euro 2024 knockout stage ahead of their final group game against Slovenia on Tuesday evening. Gareth Southgate’s side currently sit top of Group C on four points after beating Serbia and drawing with Denmark, and following Monday night’s results which saw Spain beat Albania while Italy snatched a late 1-1 draw against Croatia, it means that the Three Lions will be guaranteed to finish as one of the best third-placed teams from the group stage. Four of the best third-placed teams out of all six groups will go through to the last-16…
