Football: England have miraculously avoided defeat against Slovakia, thanks to the brilliance of Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane.
Eight years ago, England were sent packing from the first hurdle of the knockout stage at Euro 2016 by a nation with a population of just 300,000.
But then Jude Bellingham happened, with the $166m superstar scoring a bicycle kick in the 95th minute to jolt English hearts and break those of the Slovakians. The England boss, along with his players, might’ve been the only ones who still believed they would pull a rabbit out of the hat.Euro Wrap: Defending champs Italy knocked out; VAR cruels underdogs as Germany roll onHowever, Manchester United great Gary Neville believes Southgate must surely recognise he flew perilously close to the sun against Slovakia and was minutes away from becoming public enemy No. 1.Neville added: “I’ve played with Gareth Southgate and I know him.
“The fans expect a lot from us regardless of what happened in recent tournaments years and years ago,” Bellingham said.“We come in every day, we work hard to put on a performance for the fans, sometimes it doesn’t go well and sometimes it feels like there’s a bit of a pile on, it’s not nice to hear.Regardless of how poor England may have been at Euro 2024, they live to fight another day.
Teams rarely get rewarded for playing an attractive brand of football at tournaments because it’s win at all costs.
