Euros: France has warmed up for the Euros 2024 campaign with a win over Luxembourg.
France , Spain win in Euros warm ups | 00:47 England suffered an embarrassing 1-0 defeat against Iceland on Friday as their final warm-up before Euro 2024 left Gareth Southgate with issues to resolve before the tournament kicks off next week.
Adding to Southgate’s worries, John Stones didn’t reappear after the interval, possibly a precautionary move after the England centre-back fell awkwardly in the first half. While Southgate can point out that this result will count for nothing when England start their bid to win a first major trophy in 58 years, it was still an alarming performance that raised questions about key areas of his team.Southgate showed a rarely seen ruthless edge on Thursday when he axed Manchester City winger Jack Grealish and Tottenham playmaker James Maddison from his 26-man squad due to their poor recent form.
Iceland famously inflicted one of England’s most humiliating defeats when they beat Roy Hodgson’s team in the last 16 at Euro 2016.
