Three Lions must roar back to life after tame start, say England fans
Evening Standard|June 25, 2024
TENS of thousands of England fans in Cologne for tonight’s last group match against Slovenia are calling on the Three Lions to come out “roaring” after a tame first two games in Euro 2024.

Three Lions must roar back to life after tame start, say England fans

The team has come under fire after a narrow win over Serbia and a lacklustre 1-1 draw against Denmark. It left fans underwhelmed, with BBC pundit and former England striker Gary Lineker labelling the performance against the Danes as “s***”.

England are already through to the round of 16, but a win tonight would ensure that Gareth Southgate’s men top Group C and make it into the “easier” half of the knock-out draw.

But if they slip up and come second they would face the daunting prospect of playing hosts Germany in Dortmund on Saturday night.

Defeat could in theory mean a third place finish — potentially setting them up for an equalling difficult match against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal on Monday.
