Switzerland head coach Murat Yakin says his side do not deserve to be heading home from Euro 2024 and that England had luck on their side. The Three Lions advanced to the semi-finals after winning a penalty shootout, as Jordan Pickford saved the only of the nine efforts on goal. There had been a risk of Gareth Southgate’s men going home after they went 1-0 down with 15 minutes to go, courtesy of a Breel Embolo strike. But Bukayo Saka hit back minutes later, crashing one in off the post. Yakin assessed the game with the media afterwards and said Switzerland created more chances than the 2020 finalists. He said: “It hurts. We put so much effort in and created so many chances. #footballfanarena #euro2024 #switzerland #muratyakin #england #ffa #garethsouthgate

England will play the Netherlands in the Euro 2024 semi-finals after the Three Lions beat Switzerland on penalties and the Dutch scraped past Turkey. Despite not playing anywhere near their best, Gareth Southgate’s side produced a slightly improved performance against Switzerland, who knocked out defending champions Italy in the last round. England were the better team in the first half, controlling possession and moving into dangerous areas despite failing to create many – if any – clear-cut chances. That trend continued in the second half until Switzerland began to assert their dominance and took the lead in the 75th minute through Breel Embolo’s tap-in at the back post. #footballfanarena #euro2024 #england #netherlands #garethsouthgate

Ian Wright has criticised Gareth Southgate’s ‘crazy’ decision not to take adequate cover for Luke Shaw to Euro 2024, with Bukayo Saka in line to start at left wing-back for England’s quarter-final clash with Switzerland this evening. Southgate took a gamble on Shaw’s fitness and named the full-back in his 26-man squad for Germany, despite the Manchester United star missing the second half of the season with a muscle injury. It had been hoped that Shaw could return to full fitness in time for England’s knockout games and while the 28-year-old has been pictured in training with the rest of the squad, he is not deemed ready for a starting role in Dusseldorf. #footballfanarena #euro2024 #FFA #England #garethsouthgate

Gary Lineker believes England cannot be considered strong favourites to beat Switzerland at Euro 2024, describing Gareth Southgate’s side as ‘lost souls’ after their dramatic but unconvincing win over Slovakia. A moment of magic from Jude Bellingham spared England’s blushes against Slovakia before Harry Kane scored the extra time winner in their last 16 showdown on Sunday. #footballfanarena #euro2024 #FFA #England #garylineker

Gareth Southgate has indicated that Bukayo Saka could drop to left-back again for England during Euro 2024. The Three Lions avoided a major scare in their last-16 tie against Slovakia on Sunday as they were on course for a 1-0 defeat before Jude Bellingham forced extra time with his spectacular equaliser in the 94th minute. Harry Kane then headed England in front in the first minute of extra time and Southgate’s side were able to hold out for a 2-1 victory, which sets up a quarter-final clash against Switzerland on July 6. #footballfanarena #ffa #euro2024 #england #garethsouthgate #bukayosaka

Jude Bellingham rescued England with a last-minute equaliser before the Three Lions beat Slovakia in extra-time to reach the quarter-finals of Euro 2024. Gareth Southgate’s side were just minutes away from an embarrassing exit in Germany as they trailed Slovakia through Ivan Schranz’s first-half goal. #footballfanarena #euro2024 #FFA #England #garethsouthgate

England survived a huge scare at Euro 2024 as they needed extra time to scrape past Slovakia in their last-16 tie. Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane scored to become the Three Lions’ last-gasp heroes, but huge concerns remain after another disjointed display from Gareth Southgate’s side. #footballfanarena #euro2024 #FFA #England

England are less than 5 minutes away from crashing out of Euro 2024 as they are 1-0 down to Slovakia in their last-16 tie. Gareth Southgate’s side, who had a Phil Foden goal disallowed for offside in the second half, have delivered another disjointed performance and were punished in the 25th minute as Ivan Schranz opened the scoring for Slovakia. #footballfanarena #euro2024 #FFA #England #Southgate

England will play Slovakia in their Euro 2024 last-16 tie on Sunday. Gareth Southgate’s side finished top of Group C despite their drab goalless draw against Slovenia on Tuesday evening but were made to wait until Wednesday night to find out their first opponents of the knockout stage. #FootballFanArena #FFA #England #Euro2024 #GarethSouthgate

Gareth Southgate has hit back at the England supporters who jeered and threw empty beer cups at the Three Lions boss following the Euro 2024 draw with Slovenia. England progressed to the knockout stages as Group C winners but turned in another underwhelming display in a dull stalemate on Tuesday evening. #footballfanarena #euro2024 #FFA #England #GarethSouthgate
