Euro 2024: England tipped to win tournament

Ex-Manchester United captain, Gary Neville has tipped England to go far at the ongoing Euro 2024 tournament.

Neville said his “heart is overriding my head” backing England to go deep at Euro 2024.

The Three Lions will play Switzerland in the quarterfinals of the tournament on Saturday.

Gareth Southgate’s men finished top of Group C despite labouring to a 1-0 victory over Serbia and then failing to beat Denmark and Slovenia.

England then snatched victory from the jaws of defeat against Slovakia to get to the round of 16 in the tournament.

Neville has conflicting feelings ahead of the game against Switzerland, but ultimately still believes England can win the Euros.

He wrote in The Overlap Newsletter: “England aren’t gelling, we’re not seeing any coached patterns of play, they’re passive on the pitch and passive off it, in the lack of substitutions and interventions Gareth Southgate is making.

“But something happened. Results matter. Whatever you say about Southgate’s subs – and no-one could understand it – Bellingham and Harry Kane were on the pitch to deliver. Is this the near-miss event that jolts them to their senses?

“At the end of a fortnight, they still have one of the best squads here and a game to make the semi finals. They remain within touching distance of history. Of destiny. My heart is over-riding my head. This can still happen.”
