An England fan called the Three Lions’ performance against Slovakia “shite” after they had left the Euro 2024 game early and missed the late comeback.
On Sunday, Gareth Southgate’s men turned in another uninspiring performance against Slovakia.
Despite being favourites, England went behind and struggled to pull the game level until the final moments of the match.
Just a day after his 21st birthday, and five minutes into added time, Jude Bellingham scored an overhead kick to ensure England drew the game 1-1 and force it into extra-time. England went on to win through a Harry Kane header.
However, not all the England fans who spent their money travelling out to Germany to watch the team witnessed the turnaround.
Some fans had left early, fed up with the team’s performance over the 90 minutes of normal time.
Speaking to Sky News, when asked what they had made of the game, one fan said it had been “shite.”
They continued: “Southgate’s gone ain’t he, he’s gone on his holiday. The players will pick up the next two years. That’s all they can do.”

Another fan joked they had left early “only because we don’t want to get caught on the tram,” after the tournament in Germany suffered from public transport issues.
However, the fans who enjoyed the comeback were in higher spirits – one told Sky News: “Jude is our saviour. If not for Jude, where would we be?”
The comeback leaves England facing Switzerland in the quarter-finals.
