Euros: The Netherlands are through to the Quarter Finals of the Euro Champs after a 3-0 win over Romania.
However, there’s one selection dilemma Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate must get right against Switzerland in the quarterfinals.
Yes, none of those opponents are easy beats, but considering Spain, Germany, France and Portugal are the remaining teams on the other side of the draw, it’s fair to say England wouldn’t want to trade places. Shaw is back training with the squad but given he hasn’t played since February, there’s a risk he breaks down again.
Regardless of who ends up playing there, it is a headache Southgate could have avoided with a different team selection.Real Madrid may have handed Kylian Mbappe a $245 million signing bonus last June and Barcelona may have forked out $169 million to sign Ousmane Dembele from Borussia Dortmund in 2017.
Having conceded one goal all tournament — a penalty against Poland — France are clearly a formidable defensive unit and have a dynamic midfield.Source: Getty ImagesCristiano Ronaldo did not miss a second in Portugal’s penalty shootout win over Slovenia, but the burning question remains as to whether he should have remained on the field.
Excluding a penalty against Ghana at the 2022 World Cup, Ronaldo has also now failed to score in his last eight games at a major tournament. Roberto Martinez is faced with a massive call that could make or break Portugal’s Euro 2024 campaign. Spain solidified their status as a major favourite to win 2024 with a resounding 4-1 victory over Georgia that could and perhaps should have been more.
