Many English supporters left the stadium disappointed with the Three Lions’ proposed performance in the Euros Round of 16 against Slovakia and missed Jude Bellingham’s equalizer in extra time.
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 saw.
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’ve got 30 seconds to go home and you’ve got to listen to all the bullshit and feel like you’ve let down an entire nation, and thirty seconds or one shot at a ball, everything can change,” Bellingham explained. He was adjudged 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 face Switzerland in Dusseldorf on Saturday, July 6 (6pm), who beat Italy, before aiming for the title a whole nation has been waiting for since the 1966 World Cup.
