While England’s goalless draw with Slovenia at Euro 2024 was a dire affair for most, there was a heartwarming story at the centre of it. Slovenia icon Josip Ilicic came on in the 75th minute for Benjamin Sesko to help his side secure a point against the Three Lions. The result means that they finish third in Group C, enough to guarantee a spot in the last-16 where they could face Portugal. But for Ilicic,…
Phil Foden has temporarily left England’s Euro 2024 training camp to return home for the birth of his third child.

Luke Shaw has handed England a major fitness boost for Euro 2024 after declaring himself ready for the last 16 clash against Slovakia.

After the Euro 2024 group stage concluded on Wednesday evening, the Three Lions will now play Slovakia in their last-16 match this Sunday at 5pm.

William Gallas feels there is one particular ‘very solid’ player at Euro 2024 that Chelsea should look to sign in the summer transfer window. The Blues, along with their Premier League rivals, are watching this summer’s tournament with intrigue as they plot moves for a number of international stars. Gallas is keen to see his former side recruit a new central defender after veteran Thiago Silva ended his four-year stint at Stamford Bridge at the…
Cristiano Ronaldo will start against Georgia, Roberto Martinez has confirmed, despite Portugal already being safely through to the Euro 2024 knockouts. A 2-1 comeback win over Czechia and a 3-0 thumping of Turkey has sealed Portugal’s place as Group F winners with a game to spare. It means Wednesday night’s clash against Georgia in Gelsenkirchen is a dead-rubber for Martinez’s side, and the manager had previously said he would be resting many players in preparation…

Trent Alexander-Arnold partnered Declan Rice in midfield for the first two games with Southgate hopeful the introduction of Gallagher can inject some energy into his…
England are competing in Euro 2024 this summer hoping to win their first major trophy since their World Cup triumph 58 years ago. Despite their poor performances in Germany, there’s no question that England’s squad is, on paper at least, more than capable of becoming just the second set of players to get their hands on international silverware. But whilst England players earn a standard match fee for every match they play, the financial rewards…
England’s star-studded squad are competing in Euro 2024 in Germany this summer, eyeing the first-ever European Championship title in their history. But the group of 26 players, who have come in for some heavy criticism for their performances in their opening group games, does not contain Manchester United star Marcus Rashford, who has been left out of the squad by Gareth Southgate. Rashford scored just eight goals in 42 appearances for United this term, while…
Frank Lampard says he ‘fears’ for Ousmane Dembele in France’s attack after Les Bleus missed out on top spot in their Euro 2024 group.
