Euro 2020 final – Can England make it come home at Wembley?

The final of the Euro 2020 tournament has been decided and England will face Italy at Wembley on Sunday 11 for the holy grail of European football at the international level and this could pass for a Serie A vs Premier League contest. It can be recalled that Italy breezed past Spain on penalties in a 4:2 win after the match ended 1 all in regulation time. England also had to wait till extra time to see off Denmark after Harry Kane missed a penalty and converted the rebound to seal a 2:1 win for the Three Lions. A look at past winners shows that both sides have not been amongst the best of the best with regards to the most triumphs in the competition.

Euro 2020 – England have found their scoring boots at the best time

England were the most ruthless team in the quarter-finals of the Euro 2020 tournament as they thrashed Ukraine 4 nil to book a place in the last 4 against Denmark. The Three Lions have been short of goals in the competition but seem to have come to life in attack in the knockout stages of the competition and this bodes well in their quest to emerge triumphantly in the competition. Gareth Southgate's men progressed from the group stages with low-scoring encounters with Raheem Sterling establishing himself as the key man for the goals in the group stages. They scored just 2 goals as they beat Croatia and The Czech Republic 1 nil respectively, alongside a goalless draw against Scotland. Harry Kane was not among the goals, seemed out of form in the early stages of the competition, ...

From the European Championship archive: that fateful night at Wembley

Those significant words that have echoed around Wembley Stadium ever since Euro 96 – and been etched in football anthem folklore. Of course, with England hosting the European Championships 25 years ago, optimism was high. And as we gear up to the business end of this year’s tournament, there still is that level of expectation. On Wednesday night, England found out their opponents in the round of 16 – old foes Germany. The Germans had finished runners-up in Group F, dubbed the Group of Death – and Gareth Southgate’s side could have faced any one of France, Germany, Portugal, or even Hungary who caused a scare in their final group game – and went ahead twice against the Germans. As it is, the England v Germany betting odds are in the favor of England and with the match being played at ...

Sterling deserves more credit than he is getting for England at Euro 2020

The Three Lions have progressed to the round of 16 stages of the ongoing Euro 2020 competition after beating the Czech Republic 1 nil in their last group game to end up as group winners. They'll now wait to know their opponent in the next round which will be decided today after the teams in Group F, the group of death settle scores with each other. They'll face the team that finishes second in Group F. Regardless, I'd like to take a look at the performances of the Three Lions' players in the competition and who has been the one producing the goods in terms of results. The English team have scored just 2 goals at Euro 2020 in 1 nil wins against Croatia and the Czech Republic. It can be recalled that their game against Scotland ended in a barren draw.
