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

Chelsea have been warned a player they are planning to sell this summer will become ‘one of the best strikers in Europe’. While Todd Boehly has already shown he is intent on bolstering the Stamford Bridge squad during this summer’s transfer window – bringing in the likes of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Tosin Adarabioyo and Omari Kellyman – he is also working on a number of outgoings. Chelsea have sold Ian Maatsen, Lewis Hall, Omari Hutchinson and Hakim Ziyech so far this summer, while they are open to offers for Romelu Lukaku, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Conor Gallagher and Trevoh Chalobah. The Blues are also hoping to offload Armando Broja but the President of the Albanian Football Association believes this would be a mistake, backing him to develop into one of the top strikers in Europe over the next few seasons. #footballfanarena #ffa #chelsea
