Football News: England Survive Scare, Reach Euro 2024 Quarter-Finals
England were seconds away from a shocking Euro 2024 exit, but Jude Bellingham’s dramatic late equalizer against Slovakia and Harry Kane’s extra-time winner have set up a quarter-final clash with Switzerland on Saturday.
The Three Lions have yet to deliver a convincing performance at the tournament, leaving fans and opposition supporters questioning whether Gareth Southgate’s side can go all the way.
“England are playing terrible football. They can do way better,” said Sascha, a Germany fan. “I don’t know what they do on the pitch. I think they are lucky they have Jude Bellingham.”
Dimitris, a Belgium supporter, echoed similar sentiments: “The Slovakia game was a tough one for England. I think everyone was expecting they would do better than they did, but in the end they got through and that is what matters.”
Meanwhile, Renato, a Portugal fan, believes Southgate is the “wrong guy for the job” and needs to be replaced, while France supporter David described England as “a little bit boring for the quality they have.”
Despite the underwhelming performances, England have managed to reach the quarter-finals, where they will face a well-organized Swiss side. The result of that match could determine whether the Three Lions can finally deliver on their potential and mount a serious challenge for the Euro 2024 title.
