Football News: Euro 2024, Champions League, and FIFA World Cup Updates

Euro 2024 has been a challenging tournament so far for England boss Gareth Southgate and the Three Lions. The team has faced criticism for their performances, with particular focus on the usage of Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold.

In the opening two matches, Southgate has deployed Alexander-Arnold in a midfield role, a decision that has been met with puzzlement by pundits. Former England international Chris Waddle believes that Southgate is “completely wasting” the player’s talents in this position.

“Trent Alexander-Arnold is playing as part of a midfield two, and I don’t understand why Gareth Southgate has made that decision,” Waddle told Genting Casino. “His greatest strength โ€“ his passing range โ€“ is completely wasted in that midfield role.”

Southgate is expected to make several changes ahead of Tuesday’s crucial clash with Slovenia, as England look to top the group and secure a Round of 16 match in Cologne. The team will need to match or better Denmark’s result against Serbia to finish first in the group.

In other Football News, the Champions League final took place over the weekend, with Manchester City emerging victorious over Real Madrid. The FIFA World Cup is also on the horizon, with the 2023 Women’s World Cup set to kick off in Australia and New Zealand later this year.

The Africa Cup of Nations is ongoing, providing updates on the standings, while the Premier League, EFL Cup, EFL Championship, EFL One, EFL Two, and FA Cup continue to captivate football enthusiasts.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the next round of fixtures, as the excitement builds for what promises to be a thrilling summer of Football News.
