Football News Update: Euro 2024, Champions League, and More
In a thrilling Euro 2024 last-16 clash, England’s Jordan Pickford was fearful that his side could be on the wrong end of another VAR decision that would have dumped them out of the tournament. However, the Three Lions left it late, with Jude Bellingham equalizing in emphatic fashion in the fifth minute of stoppage time to send the game to extra time.
“You’ve got two superstars – Jude and Harry – who have come up with the goods.”

England captain Harry Kane then headed his side into the lead shortly into the extra period, and they held on for a 2-1 victory to set up a quarter-final showdown with Switzerland on Saturday, live on talkSPORT.
Bellingham’s overhead kick sparked the comeback, with the Real Madrid starlet appearing to scream, ‘Who else?,’ following his second goal of the tournament. While players wildly celebrated his strike, Pickford admitted he thought England may fall victim to a third disallowed goal in Germany, which would have seen them subject to another humiliating last-16 exit at the Euros.
Elsewhere in football news, the Champions League and FIFA World Cup continue to captivate fans, while the Women’s World Cup and Africa Cup of Nations also provide thrilling action. In domestic competitions, the Premier League, EFL Cup, EFL Championship, EFL One, EFL Two, and FA Cup are all in full swing, offering a diverse range of football excitement for enthusiasts.
