A spectacular comeback from Jude Bellingham in extra time to keep England alive at Euro 2024. Unmotivated and clumsy, the Three Lions battled to the end against a valiant Slovakian side that had taken the lead since the 25th minute. A goal few English supporters would have seen.
Aggrieved by the duplicity of their players, some decided to leave the stadium before the end of the match, before the cheering of fans in the Gelsenkirchen enclosure over the Real Madrid man’s equaliser.

A meeting with Switzerland in the quarter
Ghostly, threatening and unlucky before half-time, England went on to qualify in extra-time on Harry Kane’s header. “You have 30 seconds left to go home“You have to listen to all the nonsense and you feel like you’ve let down a whole nation and everything can change in thirty seconds or one shot at the ball,” explained Bellingham, who was named man of the match at the final whistle.
In the stands, English supporters let out a final roar of joy and relief before singing their chosen hit, “Sweet Caroline,” at the top of their lungs. European vice-champions, the English have not shone, but they remain alive in the open part of the table until the final in Berlin on July 14. We have to take on Switzerland who beat Italy in Düsseldorf on Saturday 6th July (6pm) before aiming for the title the whole country has been waiting for since the 1966 World Cup.
