00:00:00dictating and in front of them they have the wide threats of Haraslin and Schrantz
00:00:10and a defense which is protected by Milan's Skriniar
00:00:19Germany are already through in a terrific match from last night
00:00:22Switzerland await the winner of this evening's encounter forget what's gone before the real
00:00:29tournament starts here and the serious business begins training season's over
00:00:35Lee Dixon former England right back is here Slovakia have already caused one shock at this
00:00:41tournament how do England ensure that it's not too well they've been defensively strong we've
00:00:46seen that throughout the three games they've played all right no real problems there that
00:00:52back four has been pretty solid it's the rest of the pitch everybody wants a little bit more spark
00:00:56and that comes from me from the tempo of how we start the game and carry on the game not just the
00:01:02first 10 minutes it's about passage of play and the speed that we pass the ball into those midfield
00:01:08areas and beyond game 99 is England boss for Gareth Southgate he has always focused on substance
00:01:15over style England only won six knockout games at major tournaments between 1968 and 2016
00:01:24the victory tonight will be his seventh
00:01:30watching Slovakia on Wednesday night in Frankfurt they were
00:01:334-3-3 when they had the ball 4-5-1 without it they pressed high up the pitch
00:01:39only Belgium had more possession in their group games than they did
00:01:43we know what sort of pressing team they are the 237-year-olds the squeezy areas of the pitch
00:01:50they've all got triggers throughout each department of the team
00:01:54and the back and the boys at the top and the vodka orchestrates it all from just behind them
00:02:05Martijn de Bracken did make the third most saves of the tournament in the group stage which gives
00:02:10which gives you a suggestion that they might offer you a chance or two
00:02:19good news is that Kyo Saka, Voda and Kane have all experienced
00:02:24scoring past him before running up trying to find Kane Bocca was there to screen
00:02:34a chance to get forward for Pecorine
00:02:40I don't mind that from Pitford in the early part of the game with squeezing that slow passage of play from the back
00:02:48for him just to bypass everybody into midfield and go to Harry Kane and then pick the pieces from there
00:02:54just vary the game a little bit that Roy talked about hitting a few balls behind and just turning that back line
00:02:59good ball out to Kieran Trippier then Foden
00:03:09promised to be ruthless tonight and have positive knockout memories to fall back on
00:03:14as well as disappointments against France, Italy and Croatia
00:03:19we need to channel the energy of that Columbia game in Russia
00:03:22Mark Gurheit is going to be in a bit of trouble here it's going to be a yellow card and that's
00:03:29bad news for England because it means if England do qualify for a quarterfinal he won't be there
00:03:34that's just sloppy play from Trippier it really is it's not it's not a difficult ball what he
00:03:39does is takes too long on the ball gets pressurized and then the ball back to Gurheit is too short
00:03:44maybe just dropping off in the early part of the game and just saying you know what
00:03:48I won't make a challenge there because he was always going to be second best
00:03:52and now as you said in a bit of trouble for the next game
00:03:56Francisco Calzona the Italian who was recommended for the job of Slovakia manager by the Slovakian
00:04:03great Marek Hamsik those two work together and Napoli Hamsik very much involved in the
00:04:10coaching setup he's the team's general manager
00:04:15Miro at Napoli and a bridge between the coaches and the players
00:04:18here's the first set piece and it's in towards that near post area and
00:04:24offside flag was up very quickly pushing and shoving going on as well
00:04:28and England get away with one there was two Slovakian players colliding
00:04:38first back in there want to go back go back together
00:04:42so pieces and wide areas were really dangerous in their match against Romania the other night
00:04:50England have had their first warning
00:04:55I think one thing that really stood out in the games yesterday was the
00:04:59the pace of the game the tempo of the passing and the forward play
00:05:05hasn't been the case for England so far
00:05:12Aracelin sending the ball out wide to his left and that's a great opportunity from Hanska which
00:05:17narrowly beats the post and the first opportunity of the late afternoon is a Slovakian one
00:05:25and another warning for Jordan Pickford and his goal just got caught out right back position
00:05:29Walker's trying to get back he's not going to get there the overlap stones it is you can't
00:05:34stop the cross it is an absolute pearl of far post he's just waiting for someone Hanko getting
00:05:39into that area right got something on that Pickford book maybe not well there's a warning
00:05:46right there very handshake saying that he thought that his team were capable of shocking the world
00:05:54they've had a bright start to the encounter
00:05:58mustn't be ruffled by that
00:06:08so
00:06:17ball by Walker this is Saka does want to keep it in Hansko is with him he's evaded him well
00:06:25he's queuing up in the center of the penalty area this is Pellingham
00:06:28it can't be Manu keeping it moving with a one-touch pass back in again getting it back to Saka
00:06:36didn't take it in first time Manu almost winning it back but committing a foul against Duda
00:06:44that's what they'll meet well let's hope that's a sign of things to come Manu on the ball two
00:06:49really intelligent passes in the danger area just setting up play but the first pass over
00:06:55the top from Walker exactly right the ball to feet cut off good movement from Saka goes to the
00:07:02ball and just spins in the hole looks simple puts defenses on the back foot probably Manu's been
00:07:10booked for that challenge on Duda referees from Turkey Halal Milare he was the referee that was
00:07:18attacked by the club president in December on the pitch in the Turkish league it was a shocking
00:07:22incident there's some contrast to being in charge of this game six months on
00:07:29but England have already had two players go into his book
00:07:43it's a midfield player and a central defender and that will be in the back of their minds
00:07:47for my screening up harassing being chased by rice
00:07:54Kuczka normally of Watford searching out Strelitz harassing trying to get a shot away blocked by
00:08:00stones still coming Slovenia ball into the box is a good one from that right side Kuczka this time
00:08:07the deliverer
00:08:09that's a big chance as well you get you get the ball wide they just put it straight into
00:08:14the box they don't even think about it it's another brilliant angle ball in today
00:08:23Slovakia have made a very bright start a start which
00:08:30seeing them go on the front foot it's been a pattern of their game
00:08:34in fairness that Belgium game actually was dominated by Dominic Tedesco's team
00:08:41and they were unlucky not to get an equalizer played in that match a VAR decision
00:08:47went badly against them and England knew what they were coming up against
00:08:52and that was a very good chance for them to get a chance to get a chance to get a chance to
00:08:58against them and England knew what they were coming up against
00:09:12Bellingham made a run into the right channel and Saka was reluctant to give it to him
00:09:18Bellingham has got it now Bowden and Kane are forward to Trippier is on the edge of the box
00:09:24that's not an easy one to hit I have to tell you see that I knew it just popped up off the turf yes you might say you should get over it but
00:09:44these pitches I know what they're used to there's a lot of bubbles on them
00:09:49this is supposed to be one of the better pitches it's one that they can slide out from underneath
00:09:55the stadium so it gets the air and the sunlight that it needs a bit like the Sapporo Dome in Japan
00:10:04been a lot of rain in the last 24 hours in this area
00:10:08good scout
00:10:11it's going away cheaply and England can profit from that
00:10:37Saka
00:10:40it's good from Cobby Maynard Bellingham onto Kane
00:10:43England have got numbers forward here this is Karl Walker with a chance to deliver into the box
00:10:48Forte Aymac
00:10:53away by Lopaka
00:11:00Maynard again
00:11:02they're just kicking into gear there's a bit of space here for Papago Saka
00:11:10neither the first time delivery that rice back into the box
00:11:13he doesn't get hold of it well I have no idea why he's not knocking that in
00:11:18Kyle Walker brilliant play from England Cobby Maynard again seems to make a positive pass
00:11:26seems to make a positive pass every time he gets the ball
00:11:30ball gets laid back to you as a full back it's just set up perfect just to
00:11:35whip the ball in the admin in the box as well might take a touch
00:11:48Strelitz wrestling with stones and Walker has not spotted Hracek speeding behind him
00:11:54this is a chance for Slovakia didn't catch it first time still alive England somehow smuggle it away
00:12:02Duda loses the ball there's a challenge here by Papago Saka which the referee hasn't quite
00:12:09liked Bellingham might have been involved in that too there's a real coming together in the middle
00:12:13of the park Bellingham just gets the outside of his foot but this inside Walker looking
00:12:20wide it's the cardinal sin to get caught on the inside as a fullback but he gets away
00:12:25harassing and there's enough on the challenge in the end it's Gay coming across but another
00:12:32warning for England getting a little bit exposed down this right hand side for England defensively
00:12:40both England fullbacks have been caught out by the Slovakian press in the opening
00:12:4410 minutes of this game 12 minutes of this game
00:12:47it's another set piece from which Slovakia have been dangerous from before
00:12:54wrestling and Duda standing over it Strelitz the far post Skriniar is in there too
00:13:01away by stones and Lopaka has missed that
00:13:05it wasn't dispatched quick enough by Trippier and another yellow card is coming out
00:13:10which is good this time is the man in the book
00:13:14could beat them could be the turkey game what was that 19 bookings as thin as it was 15 something
00:13:20like that it's a huge number of bookings in that match on the final day of the group stage
00:13:27they've already racked up three
00:13:30this is the arena where Wayne Rooney was sent off against Portugal in 2006 something that he's been
00:13:49talking about in the last 48 hours or so in his newspaper column
00:13:53Foden using his pace Saka coming in far post watched well by Hansko
00:13:59the ball just went out to Trippier and he refused that pass he went to his left foot he refused it
00:14:04the run was on came back into midfield went back out the second time he hits a great ball over the
00:14:09top that's the little downside of Trippier playing he doesn't open himself up and hit it with his
00:14:15left foot not confident comes inside by that time Foden's already made the run and it's got
00:14:20already feels a more open game than the match against Slovenia absolutely open but not too
00:14:26good for England defensively they've looked a little bit shaky in the first 14 minutes or so
00:14:3416 yellows in that Czech turkey game two reds so we don't get anywhere near that
00:14:42yellows in that Czech turkey game and two reds
00:14:47let's hope we don't get anywhere near that Kucka is giving away another foul after just being booked
00:15:04thought is that Kucka is getting better with age he did have a spell in England
00:15:07with Watford had a good career in Italy with Parma and Milan
00:15:13he and Pekaric actually the only two that remain from their famous 2010 world cup squad
00:15:23so now the ball just goes to Saka's feet Fullback's right behind him close
00:15:28Bellingham was on that side just make a run into the hole and then the other center half has to
00:15:33think what do I do to play offside or do a go with Bellingham and that frees up more space in midfield
00:15:39he's in a good position Bellingham he doesn't get the ball make a run forward
00:15:48what's been made this week about the lack of connection between Bellingham and the other
00:15:52forwards Kane in particular they've only passed to each other twice in the last two games
00:16:02he's having a proper moan up at the moment Bellingham because he's not getting the ball
00:16:05the ball is in a good number 10 position but
00:16:08so what if you don't get it you then have to go again
00:16:15of course for a ball from Sturridge his way over hits and the England fans getting a little
00:16:18bit frustrated inside the stadium for the slow pace of the build-up in the early exchanges of
00:16:23this game it's been a feature of their play really over the course of the three matches
00:16:31that we've had so far at Euro 2024 he's having a proper afternoon harassing and Bellingham
00:16:40with a wild swipe he's going to be the latest England player to get in the referee's notebook
00:16:47he's suggesting he got the ball Skriniar is leading the case for the prosecution
00:16:53Matt Walker thinks he's getting away from him and Bellingham thinks he's got to make the foul
00:17:08cracking these yellow cards on England
00:17:17there is a sense of frustration i think emanating from Jude Bellingham
00:17:21he knows that the last couple of performances haven't lived up to
00:17:25billing that he got prior to the tournament he certainly started the campaign
00:17:31on fire he burst out of the blocks in the game here against Serbia
00:17:36scored the goal and a huge influence on it
00:17:51so
00:17:58Skriniar and Paris Saint-Germain
00:18:03Hansko
00:18:07Hansko plays a final and he's picked up the big things after this tournament
00:18:15Vanbroek it's a central defensive partner trying to feed the ball out to Hansko
00:18:20Paris alert with this time
00:18:24so
00:18:28so
00:18:49needs more options on the ball walker
00:18:57he makes something happen on this right side
00:19:10waiting Walker trying to hit Trevio with a long ball out to that far touchline
00:19:28trying to find Sackett
00:19:33down the side Sackett charging his way into the center now Rice
00:19:40from outside in Ferdinand is one of those
00:19:44now Rice lifting it towards Bellingham Skriniar equal to it
00:19:53oh
00:19:56Steve's his header almost spinning straight to Strelets and that's encouraged Slovakia again
00:20:01Kuczka Rice there to the rescue and he does win the ball this time
00:20:06brilliant tackle it needed to be as well they had a break on
00:20:10kept his eye on the ball not involved in the initial break and then he just
00:20:14watched what was happening and stepped in which is cool
00:20:17but it's a proper tackle that exactly what England needed I think
00:20:31so every blue shirt at the moment when they haven't got the ball is looking forward
00:20:37looking forward to where they can go and press not one of them is thinking about the ball behind
00:20:43and into the hole so they haven't pushed them back enough by threatening that ball
00:20:50when you start doing that all of a sudden they drop off five yards
00:20:53you get more space in midfield it's not that hard to work out
00:21:01trivia
00:21:14okay he's one of those on a yellow card one of three England players now on a yellow card
00:21:19they only picked out four in the entire group stages he played 20 minutes
00:21:31second let's go for company they win it nudge it up the field Slovakia it's another poor ball
00:21:40it's a shaky start from England can they inject a bit of place into their attack with trivia
00:21:51Manu now Walker
00:21:55moved into a bit of space in the inside left channel he wanted the ball played early
00:22:07now he has spun down that left hand side Vavro is coming across to meet him
00:22:11has taken it from Phil Foden
00:22:31one back high by Rice into Bellingham stretch but reached it
00:22:35drifts away from the defender Bellingham into Foden Foden goes down
00:22:39it's half-hearted appeals the ball still alive Bellingham back in
00:22:45trivia it's into Kane to take a deflection that's going to be a corner that's where you
00:22:51want in far post you can quite see what happened with the Foden title just about to see now
00:23:02well that's where you want Harry Kane far post he didn't really have a good jump at it
00:23:09so it goes in and then the ball's a little bit long
00:23:21it's a bit better from England that's the kind of tempo that they're going to require
00:23:25they're going to unlock the Slovakian door it's the first time really that
00:23:30Bellingham's had a little run he's been trying to pick the ball up to that 10 position not had the ball
00:23:37short to Saka whose delivery is a good one Vavro intervenes
00:23:42it's Maino drop for him nicely and he saw his name up in likes there Kobi Maino
00:23:50yeah the England fans enjoyed that shot at goal he's certainly got this in his locker high on the ball
00:23:58decent strike I just want it especially Jude Bellingham I need him to make some forward
00:24:04runs a little bit he's trying to pick the ball up at two feet everything's behind
00:24:10he's pressing him Saka's coming short Foden's coming short every now and again Foden will go
00:24:15into the hole for a run and Saka but Bellingham's got to join in with that forward running
00:24:21Duda has swept the ball out to Harashlian once again backed up by Hansko
00:24:30this is Stanislav Lobotka and again Lobotka
00:24:39he is good at keeping it tipping over Lobotka Napoli
00:24:42on the way to being a legend of Slovak football really
00:24:51Strelitz launched him behind and with runners either side and one of them has been Federer
00:24:59and faltering England are on the back foot again
00:25:03and Ivan Sranc has yet another goal in the European championships
00:25:09a third for the Slovakian winner
00:25:14and England are behind in Gelsenkirchen
00:25:17and it's not that much of a surprise of a break
00:25:24well it's really really good play from Strelic but he's got too much time on the ball
00:25:30no real problem here
00:25:37but there the cover's not tight enough there's a big gap between fullback and stones
00:25:41and when he gets in there Gailly can't touch him
00:25:45it's a beautiful little ball and he just pokes it past Pickford
00:25:52and you can't say it hasn't been coming
00:25:57well England have got a couple of problems here Mark Gailly is one of those
00:26:03but to state the obvious the other is that they've got to come from behind in this tournament
00:26:09Ivan Sranc with the goal
00:26:14and the Slovakian winger
00:26:17big hit in qualifying big hit of this tournament
00:26:22has given England a big blow
00:26:25well England have been pretty assured defensively
00:26:30but when the opposition right back gets the ball hits one long ball and then chaos
00:26:35and then chaos afterwards questions have got to be asked
00:26:39to get through to the goalkeeper that quick
00:26:44one of them with Mark Gailly it's his shoulder that i think is the issue here
00:26:49Karl Walker is receiving instruction from the manager
00:26:53and there's your problem two centre backs
00:26:57throw a blanket over the pair of them and that just frees up space elsewhere
00:27:01and they never catch up
00:27:05what a great start for him Rocheso Carzona
00:27:12and then he took over in 2022 he's been doubling up with his two teams he's a bit of a multi-tasker
00:27:19he's been an athlete coach as well pressure now ever increasing on Gareth Southgate and this
00:27:25England team okay he's back on England back and restored to the full complement
00:27:32but it hasn't been a great start to the game
00:27:36no it's not been offensively or defensively they give the ball away a few times
00:27:41Kyle Walker struggled to match the pace of harassment never thought i'd say that but it's
00:27:46the quickness of thought rather than the quickness of legs it's got him away from Walker at times
00:27:55and with the ball just not created anything not enough runners and we've said it time and time
00:28:00again about forward runs pushing defensive back
00:28:14because of the way that they operate i mean they had two shots within 13 seconds against
00:28:18Romania in their last game Slovakia they have scored the opening goal in each of their four
00:28:25European Championship games well they're hugely organized they're very fit they run about a lot
00:28:32they press together they're a decent side they've got some good players on the ball
00:28:36we've already seen it harassment Scrantz Strelnik the one out here the commitment
00:28:44you've got to find a solution
00:28:58way to respond in a tournament already a stumble cannot turn into a fall at this stage
00:29:07game Slovakian fans behind that goal
00:29:16bouncing can't quite believe what they've seen so far this is Foden
00:29:28see i'm a massive Foden fan but he gets the ball on the touchline there and it just comes inside
00:29:32Gordon gets the ball in that touchline he turns and runs up the fullback takes him down the outside it spreads the back four open
00:29:42the criticism of England since minute one balance not being quite right down the flanks
00:29:47that left side not operating the way Southgate wanted it to
00:30:03only half an hour play feels like longer
00:30:11Trippier under pressure from Pechering here is Foden trying to squeeze it through the cane
00:30:16immediately engaged by a Slovakian blue shirt
00:30:21Broe hacks at it Oscar away Rice trying to win it back Duda gets there first
00:30:32so
00:30:43Saka's made a darting run off the right wing and trying to spin him behind handscope Walker was
00:30:49reluctant to play the ball to him it's all about timing of that Walker already looked up Saka
00:30:54didn't go then Walker pulls head down to make another pass and then Saka went just the timing
00:31:01a little bit out an extra pressure from Harry Kane which is one England to throw it
00:31:23Kane now Trippier
00:31:26he looks up hesitates stops the ball forward is not there the England fans are not happy you can hear them in the background
00:31:46Bellingham lifting it over Saka trying to find a spark
00:31:50but Skriniar on the back foot it's aimed towards Foden but it's not quite right
00:31:55kept in by Trippier Foden Kane no one in the penalty area yet Bellingham is arriving Saka
00:32:01at the back post too high for him better from Saka though taking his man on getting into a
00:32:08forward position getting the ball into the box more of that please it's not a great ball from
00:32:15Harry Kane in the end too much you want him on the end of that not crossing it
00:32:23somehow England have got to harness this setback
00:32:26Cole Palmer sitting on the bench Gareth Southgate reluctant to bring him in from the start
00:32:32I'm sure if it stays like this at half time there will be changes they'll have to be
00:32:38kind of got a hope as well that Slovakia change the way they're playing sometimes when you go
00:32:431-0 up as an underdog the expectation can get a bit too much for you but
00:32:48this team don't look like they're going to be affected by that
00:32:53sorry Sam but it's about what England do and they haven't done enough in this first half they haven't
00:33:00tested that back four at all
00:33:04Cole Palmer arrived late at the 2014 World Cup when he went to watch England as a supporter
00:33:09by the time he got there for the third game they were already out what England can't afford to do
00:33:14is for him to arrive in this game when it's already beyond them
00:33:28I'll tell you what just an observation an awful bobble of this pitch
00:33:33Hansco getting the better of Sackett, Strelitz couldn't control it, Rice was there to tidy up
00:33:37for England, Maynard nudges it on to Kane, an immediate release but it's a fined Jude Bellingham
00:33:50England fans trying to urge them forward
00:33:55Foden finds Bellingham back out to trip
00:33:59Foden finds Bellingham back out to trip here
00:34:04better from England as they try to knit something together here with Bellingham
00:34:07making a driving run and forcing a corner
00:34:12trying to get the fans going behind that goal
00:34:15that'll help a little forward bursting runs into the box as soon as you get over that line
00:34:21defenders don't want to touch you
00:34:23okay he's lifted up from the back, Sturns in there as well on the goalkeeper
00:34:32crowding that six-yard box
00:34:40Sikka and Mainu occupying the edge, it's in towards Kane at the near post, the bracket was nowhere
00:34:46Fabreau did brilliantly well near post, sorry Kane's right
00:34:53behind him, just look, just about to head it in
00:35:06another one from Trippier towards that near post again but
00:35:11England player is penalised, it's Mark Gay who's been told off
00:35:17yeah it's because he's standing, I mean he's done nothing wrong there
00:35:20he doesn't have to get out of the way the goalkeeper, he's just standing his ground
00:35:24that's not a foul
00:35:38we're 35 minutes in, it's not quite everything that could go wrong has gone wrong but three
00:35:43England players are in the book, Mark Gay is going to miss the quarterfinal if England get there
00:35:49and they're a goal down to Slovakia
00:36:02it's definitely not the perfect Sunday, not yet
00:36:05so frustrating, the ball gets played into Mainu, he's got time on the ball, he's looking forward
00:36:22that's the time you make the run, you don't then come to his feet
00:36:27and then he tries to force the ball over the top, it's too late, everything's too late
00:36:32these are experienced players, most of them with maybe the exception of Mainu have been playing at
00:36:38the very highest level, what is it that's stopping them from making those runs, what is it that is
00:36:44stopping their time, that's the thing that you can't understand because of the reasons you said
00:36:49they are experienced players, they know how to stretch a team, you can't blame the coach for that
00:36:55it's just someone's on the ball with time, where do we want the ball, it's just about having that
00:37:01that understanding of going, do you know what, I'm going to run into a hole, what
00:37:04don't these defenders want to do, they don't want to run in towards their own goal
00:37:12everything's defeat
00:37:32there's an irritation dripping into the England support but the team cannot get affected by that
00:37:41dust themselves down, they have to find a way back in
00:37:44that way back in doesn't need to be immediate but it does need to happen, it does need to be an
00:37:50immediate change of approach really, I think there is an anxiety about England, another
00:37:55game where they look a little bit tentative and unsure, Bellingham
00:38:02next thing with Duda
00:38:07Duda is going to be the one punished on this occasion, it's going to be an England set piece
00:38:12there's no doubt it's a fouls in a decent area from a crossing point of view
00:38:16England have not been dominant set pieces at all, quite like those trippier
00:38:25corners are right underneath the crossbar, can Foden deliver, the goal's gone in, Bellingham has
00:38:32just stepped up a little bit hasn't he, wanting the ball a little bit more
00:38:37driving running to the box force the corner he's won the free kick here
00:38:40yeah
00:38:43decent looking delivery as well and Bellingham was up there, right by Lobotka
00:38:54trippier, to Rice, Rice with the header, goalkeeper came out didn't get a clean punch on it but just
00:39:01enough, Bellingham has collided with a defender inside the six-yard box and he has got back to
00:39:08his feet very quickly when the defender, Favreau didn't, he's always going to stay down there
00:39:17teams 1-0 up nearly 40 minutes gone, potential
00:39:24head injury
00:39:28it's clattered by his own goalkeeper actually
00:39:39in the warming up, Ivan Toni, Cole Palmer, Anthony Gordon and Emery Chiesa
00:39:49at this moment in time, there's the man who's done the damage
00:39:53yeah there's the long ball, both centre halves going for the same ball just frees up
00:39:59Strelnik on the edge of the box and that ball there, there's a gap for him to play it but it
00:40:03has to be the right pace and it's right into his path, out of his feet, outside of the right foot
00:40:10England in trouble, brilliant finish from him, Scrantz
00:40:21Gareth Southgate's pulled over John Stones and now Phil Foden to this near touchline to take
00:40:26advantage of this, this time out really, to try and refocus his players, there'll be focus on him
00:40:32to see how he adapts tactically in this situation now, yeah absolutely, the benefit for Gareth right
00:40:39now is five or six minutes time and maybe a bit longer, he's going to be able to sit the players
00:40:44down and actually say something to him about what he wants, whether he makes some substitutions at
00:40:50halftime, I wouldn't be surprised because this first half has not been good at all
00:40:54Vavro has come up on this near side and Juraj Kuska has just dropped into the defence
00:41:09when you think about what's been lacking for England and that's runners going into
00:41:12space beyond and stretching the game and balls over the top
00:41:16and then when you look at Gordon, look at Palmer, seems to be crying out, maybe that's just too
00:41:24simple to look at that and say put them two on, it'd be fine but it certainly wouldn't do any
00:41:30damage, Gareth Bowen warming up as well down to our left-hand side in front of the England fans
00:41:46Foden
00:41:53this is Walker
00:41:56Foden again being chased, harassed, not a moment's peace on the ball that's
00:42:02too hefty for Kieran Trippier, the idea was right, the run was
00:42:06right, the ball just not as perfect as he would have preferred
00:42:10it's a good run actually, there's too much on it
00:42:17again a big fan of Saka, a big fan of Foden, Foden has been coming inside
00:42:25Saka's had a couple of runs at Hanko, maybe a few more little spins into the
00:42:32hole as I said but the ball's got to come, you've got to be ready
00:42:36once the run's made, if you think about it, it's too late, you've got to be out your feet over the top
00:42:46and England thought they were going to get a throw there
00:42:49and the referee has eventually changed his mind
00:42:55after consultation with the assistant over on the far side, it's pretty obvious
00:43:00what the assistant was looking at
00:43:02England have got to come from behind, the last time they conceded first in a European
00:43:08Championship match was in the semi-finals at Wembley in 2021, Mikel Damsgaard's free kick
00:43:16and came back and they won that game, in fact England have come back and
00:43:20won each of their last three games at the Euros in which they've conceded first
00:43:24right idea, poor execution right there
00:43:27Trippier, two minutes before half-time
00:43:58so
00:44:13earlier in the game that might have been a yellow card and that's what Gareth Southgate
00:44:16is pointing out to the fourth official, absolute yellow card, they've always been
00:44:20given the yellow cards for, right in that category
00:44:27Duda is another one who's walking a tightrope, he won't make the quarter-final should
00:44:32Slovakia make it if he's booked today
00:44:50so
00:45:13what's he got to do at half-time Lee, because one of the great things that Gareth Southgate
00:45:17managed in the first eight years that he has been in charge, it's been the lightning of that
00:45:24England shirt in terms of the weight of burden, but it's looked a little bit heavy again here in
00:45:29Germany hasn't it, yeah absolutely, they've got to change the pattern of play, they've got to
00:45:34hit some more balls over the top, make some forward runs, they haven't done enough of that
00:45:39and that's got to come quickly from the person on the ball, to the guy making the run, you've got
00:45:45to hurt yourself physically, yellow card for Milan Skriniar, the captain of Slovakia, who's late on Jude
00:45:56Bellingham, who's got quite a lot of attention in the opening half of the game, there are three
00:46:01minutes to be added at the end of this first 45. Walker, now Stokes
00:46:20everyone back behind the ball
00:46:29Saka, he's fouled on this near touchline, it's still a guilty party
00:46:51a big moment this at the end of the first half, not a really good ball in last time from this
00:46:56position, Phil Foden, perfect for his left foot, just aiming that far post with a bit of whip on it
00:47:03everyone run across the goalie's view
00:47:12bringing up the possibility of a Phil Foden delivery into that box
00:47:21and there's never a perfect time to score a goal, this wouldn't be a bad time
00:47:33it's Foden's delivery, it's touched away by De Brabket
00:47:36it's alive, it's headed down by Rice, towed away by Skriniar
00:47:45Maneuw, still going Maneuw, it's Kobe Maneuw for England, it's a corner back
00:47:55yeah no fear, willing to take people on, he's not had enough of the ball at the start of the game
00:48:00two or three opportunities played, two or three lovely balls inside the box,
00:48:05they've really seen a lot of him in possession since then
00:48:09Foden now taking over Tudis from that side on Kane's instruction
00:48:17it's going to be an out swinger, Kane is up there, it's just over his head, Maneuw to recycle it
00:48:23give it to Saka instead, Saka slamming that into Duda, Maneuw takes on the bot cap, produces a good
00:48:32delivery, Favreau dealt with it well, late England pressure at the end of the first half, Foden, Rice
00:48:40it's another corner, is there time to take it, we played our three minutes of stoppage time at the
00:48:45end of the first period, Harry Kane fancies himself far post, which is why he's deployed Foden
00:48:59on the out swinger, and it's aimed to him again, it's Kane, Foden trying to keep it alive but there
00:49:06was a push inside the box and Duda is being helped to his feet and that's going to be the last action
00:49:12of an underwhelming first 45, yeah he's got his work to do Gareth at halftime
00:49:24and there's the foul, quite an obvious one from Jon Stones, halftime whistle has gone and if you thought
00:49:31the outside noise was loud beforehand, just imagine what happens if Ivan Scrantz's goal
00:49:39is the winning one for Slovakia, more boos at halftime from the England supporters, it's another
00:49:43dispiriting 45 minutes, the analysis comes from Ian Wright, Gary Neville and Roy Keane in just a few
00:49:50moments, hold on to your hat at halftime, it is England nil, Slovakia one, trying to see if there
00:49:57are any subs, would it, would it shock you if there were, with none at the moment, would it
00:50:02shock you if there were no subs, yeah it would, yeah, he can't do that Boogs, not the way we've
00:50:07played that first half, something has to change, I'd be shocked if he doesn't make a change again
00:50:14he could be out of his job in 45 minutes unless he does something about it, at least go out
00:50:18on your shield if you know what I mean, on your decision making, Boogs we've seen this in
00:50:22three games he's changed three different sets of players to try and get what, I don't know what
00:50:25he's getting, he's not got it and he's not made any changes at halftime here, we're talking about
00:50:28Gareth, honestly I've gone out of eight of these tournaments at this type of stage, trust me I've
00:50:33got regrets standing here to this day, these lads do not want to walk off that pitch at the end of
00:50:36this game having been beat by Slovakia or else they'll be in the same position and they'll join me
00:50:40absolutely, we'll be talking about it in years to come, if it doesn't go well in the second half
00:50:44back to Lee Dixon and Sam Matterface, what a big 45 minutes for everybody connected with this England
00:50:49team, absolutely huge and Euro exits have haunted England managers, Romania in 2000, penalty two
00:50:58minutes from time, failure to get there in 2008, Iceland in 2016 topped it all, they cannot let it
00:51:05happen again, but the time is now, who's going to step up, who's going to change the game, who's going
00:51:12to change the story, the time for tweaking is over, this team needs a revolution doesn't it,
00:51:18whether that's attitude or personnel, why has he made no changes Lee Dixon? Only he will know that,
00:51:24I presume that he's got stuck into the players and they're going to change something, they're
00:51:29going to run beyond, they're going to change the whole game plan on what it was like in the first
00:51:34half and I have to give Gareth the benefit of the doubt saying he's England manager, he must have a
00:51:40plan, I don't know what that plan is with the same personnel because there was no threat of anything
00:51:44happening that first half, really wasn't, nobody will, just looking at Jude Bellingham just a little
00:51:49bit higher, is he going to run beyond? It didn't look like he was going to in the first half, he certainly didn't
00:51:57it is a big 45 for him, well no one really warmed up until the last couple of minutes of that
00:52:02half-time break, the England substitutes came out just before the players took to the pitch for the
00:52:07second half, they're all locked in the dressing room for quite some while, I am astonished actually
00:52:18Strand's putting pressure on Foden who is holding him off, how long are you going to give it?
00:52:24in a minute, I mean I just don't understand the process that he's going through now
00:52:34there's no doubt that he will have made some tactical changes on the pitch, can't see him
00:52:38right now, it's too early, but you can bet your bottom dollar that Slovakia won't change anything
00:52:45and they'll have that 4-4-2 press, they'll be still energized, they've got something to protect for sure
00:52:52how are England going to disrupt that? Straight away, that ball there, nothing's changed so far,
00:52:58Walker just gets the ball, opens himself up, two people coming to feet, exactly the same
00:53:04and we were watching really closely and I pointed out to you that none of the substitutes that come
00:53:09out wearing their match jersey, the only one that is wearing their match ready jersey on the near
00:53:15touchline is Luke Shaw, but he's not preparing to come on at this juncture, but you could tell by
00:53:22the type of warm-up they were doing, you know when a player's coming on, maybe one of the coaches
00:53:27comes on with him, you do a lot of short little step work, getting the blood flowing through your
00:53:32veins, a little touch work and all that, they were all just out there kicking balls to each other as
00:53:37if it was a Sunday afternoon, so is he thinking to himself, I'm not going to panic yet, I trust in
00:53:42these players, these are my best players, I'm going to let this, see how this unfolds for the
00:53:47next 10 minutes before I do any emergency action? Well that's obviously what he's doing, because
00:53:52otherwise he would have made the substitutions, I think it's the wrong thing, all the boys in the
00:53:58studio think the same, you've got to change the narrative of the game from as soon as you start
00:54:03half, because how long we played now, two minutes, nearly three minutes and nothing has changed,
00:54:09nobody's made a run forward, we've had a bit of possession, the tempo of the game hasn't changed
00:54:24he is then crunched on the goal scorer's trance
00:54:35here in the knockout stages of a European Championship for the first time, they've
00:54:38never got to a quarterfinal of a major tournament
00:54:45that tells you everything you need to know, John Stones gets the ball, looks up,
00:54:48arms up, who am I going to pass it to, he's going to go sideways or backwards, look he's
00:54:52having a look at Walker now, saying where you want, again same pattern of play
00:55:02and they've been frozen by frustration
00:55:09I wonder if it's anxiety that has left them straitjacketed
00:55:20Saka, can they break free from that cane, switching it quickly onto Trippier, big chance for England here
00:55:27Foden is there, and he touches it home, he wheels away in celebration
00:55:34the Slovakia defenders are asking for an offside against him, and he's too busy celebrating
00:55:44so they may not have changed the personnel, but has that goal changed the match, well I hope
00:55:50he's onside, from here it looked like he just wandered into an offside position, looks at
00:55:54the linesman, no flag at all, in Gareth we trust, again overload on this left-hand side
00:56:03and it's Trippier, who gets into that position, he's offside, they are checking for a potential
00:56:09offside in the build-up to the goal, you've seen it, it looks on first glance that it is
00:56:17offside, he's ahead of the player, he's ahead of Trippier, the ball's forward, has to be given offside
00:56:25it's been chalked off, the goal won't stand, it's the Slovakia fans behind the goal
00:56:34that you can hear celebrating, and Foden is the latest England player to be frustrated
00:56:40do you know what, I'm frustrated for him, because he's no need to go offside, it's easy
00:56:45sitting up here when you're watching, but he's trying to get ahead of the defender, but he's got
00:56:49to stay behind the ball, he'll still get that ball, he still can run onto it, so frustrating
00:56:57anyway it's a chance, let's put it down as a chance
00:57:08they've got space in behind the full-backs, which is something that the build-up to the game
00:57:14there's always a possibility, here's Kane, putting Skriniar on the back foot
00:57:19and then sending the ball, goal with the deflection, takes it agonisingly wide
00:57:24but there's a uptick in tempo, well he creates his own space, Skriniar gets enough
00:57:31to get back and pull him off a little bit, Favreau gets the touch, it's all England
00:57:37they need something tangible to really change the mood, Trippier
00:57:46right under the goalkeeper, away by Lovatka
00:58:08let's just see if that bit of pressure
00:58:12pushes Slovakia back a little bit, the two centre-halves just sit back another yard
00:58:20give a bit more space in that number 10 position
00:58:25go back to what we said before, for me it's all about forward runs and stretching and running
00:58:31into that space behind, that's not changed, Karl Walker with a ball which took a fortunate
00:58:37deflection which puts England further up the pitch, this is Rice
00:58:48slid away by Duda
00:58:55five England substitutes warming up away to our left
00:58:57Tony, Palmer out there again, Gordon out there again
00:59:06here is Saka trying to do something, one of those on the field, Kobi Meinu, Rice
00:59:15so
00:59:27Trippier seems further to run down that left-hand side, he was calling for the ball
00:59:32Favreau eats it up for Slovakia
00:59:38the football's being played with the Slovakia half
00:59:44so
01:00:04Bellingham
01:00:05Walker, he's fouled over on that far side by Mishra Ashlyn, Smarter Prague
01:00:16oh and it's given away and England are in trouble here and it's narrowly wide and that would have
01:00:21been even more embarrassing than what's gone before, Strelec with the effort, look at this
01:00:27John Stosie was, he just was looking elsewhere, the little pass and that's, oh my word, what a let-off
01:00:34oh he fancies it as well, what an opportunity for Slovakia to maybe put this game beyond England
01:00:43sloppy, two Manchester City boys
01:00:58and I think when we look back on this we'll
01:01:01review it and think there's just been too many minutes of pure panic
01:01:05oh, win 3-1, probably look back at it for about a minute and say that and then get on with it
01:01:10we're in the knockout football but we're always governed by the result and at the moment England
01:01:17is still in trouble, got a bit of momentum, got to keep it going, now's a good time to make us up
01:01:26Stones forward, Saka
01:01:32spectacular walker he got there just ahead of Strelec, Stone switches it out to the left side
01:01:39and the one in front of him on that left hand side, Benningham made a dart for him
01:01:44into out but wasn't able to receive the ball, this is Saka
01:01:49Saka skipping away trying to get down the side trying to keep his balance under pressure from
01:01:55Hasko, has pinched it but given it straight back to Kobi Meunier, he wants to use it by pushing
01:02:02it forward Meunier, Walker, Foden he wants to get it into the centre, Kane coming around the back
01:02:11Ekirik away
01:02:15more England pressure, won't let Slovakia escape at this moment in time
01:02:32pressing from England worked, Rice
01:02:35Screaming in the centre for the ball but the avenue wasn't there for the pass
01:02:48Tempo's better
01:02:56Foden, bring it in looking for Bellingham in the back of the defender
01:03:01there's a word with the man who's left on the floor and he's got to be very careful here
01:03:12this is the offside goal just look at the lines just stay behind the ball
01:03:20that's what we've got to do
01:03:24as I said easier south here with the microphone in your hand and down there with the emotion
01:03:28down there with the emotion flowing through the veins
01:03:33it's going to be two changes for Slovakia
01:03:38Tomas Suslov the right winger is going to come on
01:03:42I think Italian manager Francesco Calazone is sensing that the tide is turning in England's
01:03:49favour and he wants to get some more speed on the pitch once again also look as if they're
01:03:54going to bring on Robert Bosniak
01:04:04Strelets
01:04:11imploring Gay to keep it calm
01:04:24Rice, Bellingham
01:04:30still Bellingham
01:04:35last place is Trippier on the near side four to a man
01:04:38he's gone towards Bellingham the header is from Skriniar
01:04:41Bellingham has gone down England are playing on because Bellingham is back on his feet
01:04:46the referee has allowed it to keep moving Trippier
01:04:50to come back inside because he wanted to get it onto his right foot this is Rice
01:04:55Mainu
01:04:57still going Mainu and winning a free kick for England
01:05:01a driving run
01:05:03causing problems forcing Kuczka to commit now Kuczka is on a yellow card
01:05:09so he got somewhat on the ball there but the referee was right on the spot and again another
01:05:13driving run from Mainu just before that it was a brilliant pass from him he just keeps
01:05:19keeping the ball going left and right and he's a bit lucky there to get away with that one
01:05:24bearing in mind what we've seen in the early part of the game why is that not a yellow card
01:05:28I don't get it I've seen two or three of them not given out maybe he thinks the game's settled down
01:05:32and he had to make it a point the referee this is in a really really good position for this man
01:05:42Kara Southgate is over speaking to the fourth official and asking the same questions I think
01:05:48we are
01:05:54Rastan is lying down behind that five-man wall
01:05:59Oden and Trippier standing over it last time Trippier scored for England was the 2016
01:06:072018 World Cup semi-final
01:06:13he's just rolled this back just a little bit because the flower was definitely
01:06:17closest to the box it's Foden who strikes it it's the wall that blocks it
01:06:22I thought I was crying out for a Trippier right foot there
01:06:29Chief Bellingham just having a word with Trippier saying a little pass to me was on
01:06:35there's an acres of space Bellingham every time he's not got the ball
01:06:39Bellingham his head just drops a little bit in frustration
01:06:42off comes Lukas Araslin for Suslov
01:06:48Strelets is getting treatment for cramp
01:06:54and Bozhenik is coming on to replace Strelets when eventually he is removed from the field of play
01:07:03Bozhenik who was featured in all three of the games so far off the bench he had a spell at
01:07:08Garraf is in that place now does he keep this pressure a bit of pressure that England have
01:07:12created in the sack now does he keep that going does he make a substitution now I know what I'd be doing
01:07:37fresh legs Slovakian legs the England substitutes continue to glance down the touchline
01:08:08Suslov has gone out to that left-hand side as a direct replacement
01:08:13Bellingham want to lift it over the top for Foden De Pravka's starting position was good
01:08:19show was better it was a mistake by Pekarek and he is clattered into Kieran Trippier
01:08:27Rice looking for Kane
01:08:30Suggesting that there wasn't enough in that for a foul that England had the ball and could play on
01:08:36he's he's hurt he's already had a little look at the touchline trying to get the trainer on
01:08:47knee and ankle there
01:08:48knee and ankle there
01:08:58Kieran Trippier came into this tournament without too many
01:09:01minutes under his belt Serbia game was his first 90 minutes since February the 27th
01:09:07there is an anxiousness about that England support is it time to throw the dice
01:09:18yes Steve Holland and Gareth Southgate in quite close quarters
01:09:31need to get away with that one as well I say he got something on it was steaming in there
01:09:37I think maybe the Slovakia support behind the goal have noticed that
01:09:48England are a little bit vulnerable to reminders of the Iceland thunderclap
01:09:53but Karl Palmer is about to emerge from the sidelines and move into center stage
01:09:59and that just revives the England support momentarily
01:10:05now what's the change here looks like Declan Rice is having a word with Saka as if to say
01:10:13don't worry about it he might be coming off I don't know no I think he's going to left back
01:10:18yeah I think he is going to left back but Kaio Saka has suggested might be a good idea to
01:10:25going to left back but Kaio Saka has suggested might be an option by
01:10:30Ian Wright and Karen Carney over the last couple of weeks it was
01:10:36poo-pooed a little bit by Saka in the press conference he
01:10:40has done it before on a number of occasions though he's going to do it now
01:10:47he's back on the field of play haven't made the substitution yet and Slovakia have the ball
01:11:02back into the center he goes Bojanic trying to turn Kuczka comes across
01:11:08it's another late challenge by Kuczka on Declan Rice
01:11:12that tie broke is getting thinner I mean that's a yellow card all day long
01:11:22obviously not
01:11:26off comes Kieran Trippier on comes Cole Palmer and back to left back for Kaio Saka
01:11:34Kaio Saka needs must I'm not sure he's very happy about it but
01:11:41on that other side on that right hand side now we've got somebody who loves to run
01:11:46at defenders he loves to pass the ball he's a forward thinking player give him the ball
01:11:52and the one thing that Saka does give you by playing in this position is balance he's got a
01:11:58left foot and open the pitch up a little bit more and he will obviously get forward
01:12:05it might mean a little bit of awareness is required from Rice to
01:12:08come and fill in on this near side when he does forage up the field
01:12:20it's an indication as well Lee of the lack of fitness of Luke Shaw yeah
01:12:24yeah he's been working really hard from what I hear in the camp trying to get fit trying to
01:12:34get those training minutes on the available different thing than tournament minutes that's
01:12:39for sure
01:12:49Palmer
01:12:52again under pressure from Stranz he's scored more goals at this tournament than England have
01:13:09I just a little bit surprised how the guys in the studio are talking about
01:13:19three subs at halftime that he hasn't made three all at once just to completely turn this game on
01:13:25its head where does he stand they're going out I know you don't need to panic but at some point
01:13:30they've got to get themselves back in this game he's one player enough
01:13:34is down on the far side that the referee has allowed play to continue this is Saka of Arsenal
01:13:45I think Declan Rice pings the ball out to Cole Palmer
01:13:51it's not good defending with a man down it's into Foden
01:13:55trying to get a glancer on that but the man behind him deflected it out for a corner
01:13:59big chance Phil Foden gets there first it's a great ball in angle
01:14:05the smallest man on the pitch gets there in front of
01:14:12Skriniar and he just just I mean they don't have to kick it out
01:14:16it's not a head injury and he's back on his feet within seconds so play on
01:14:20he's not a little goat of Sorakians but there's no way I'll be kicking that out
01:14:26here's the corner by Foden Johnstone was prized and poised to take advantage of that ball
01:14:42no time for hesitancy now England have got to make something happen with 22
01:14:46and a half minutes to go it's Foden Rice
01:14:57now Foden again
01:15:00it's aimed in Kane's direction but it is off radar
01:15:09time on it just check onto that left foot it's not a difficult ball to hit in Harry Kane's up
01:15:16hardly any service
01:15:22well in keeping with the way that England's group stage is
01:15:25when neither keeper has had to make a save in the game yet
01:15:30the only shot on target has come from Ivan Skranc Slavia Prague
01:15:38scored against Belgium Ukraine and now England
01:15:41is 20 minutes from history
01:15:53well they look like the subs are making a bit more of a warm-up out of it
01:16:01I hope so Nikon by Belling Kane Palma's in space right side
01:16:07maybe wanted the ball a little bit earlier but he has got it now
01:16:10Cole Palma finding Bellingham Bellingham goes down referee says no penalty play continues Rice
01:16:23still Palma being harassed over on that far side but shrugging off Shushlon
01:16:27yeah I mean he got there eventually but can Harry Kane just slips goes to ground
01:16:33too easily tries to protect the ball and just loses his balance but before that Harry Kane
01:16:39get it out to Palma the one that you saw first was the best pass and then he just
01:16:44delayed it a little bit just enables a fullback to get a little bit of a chance to get the ball
01:16:48and then he's got a chance to get the ball and he's got a chance to get the ball and he's got to
01:16:52was the best pass and then he just delayed it a little bit
01:16:55just enables a fullback to get a little bit tighter on Palma
01:17:15best without touch
01:17:22so
01:17:43turns glances at Rice ask the question why did the ball not come my way
01:17:49in the next 18 minutes
01:18:13Bellingham
01:18:19at the television wanting something to happen for England compelling him make that happen
01:18:25dancing into the box his cross is headed away by Skriniar
01:18:50so
01:19:07just went down on that challenge immediately holding his leg immediately looking up at the
01:19:12clock as well
01:19:18see he turned his ankle to be fair to him a chance for Gareth to have another word
01:19:26yeah I must have been looking around and turning over my shoulder and looking at that bench if I
01:19:29was him right now it's like a nasty one actually it wasn't a time of challenge
01:19:33it was just when he stepped in to try and play the ball wasn't it
01:19:36so
01:19:42and they're a tight-knit settled group the Slovakians a lot of these players know each
01:19:47other well some of the youngsters used to watch Pekaric and Kučka on tv but there's
01:19:51a clutch of players who came through the MSK Žilina's youth setup which also helped harness
01:19:58the talents of Arsenal's Jakov Kivio England have forged a pathway into the senior team from a lot
01:20:04of their younger teams a lot of these players have been in the group for a while there has been a lot
01:20:11of change maybe when the dust is settled we'll look back and wonder why so many
01:20:18of those who went to the World Cup in 2022 have been turned over
01:20:2613 players that went to the World Cup finals haven't made it this time around 12 England
01:20:32players in the squad are at their first tournament
01:20:38is that why those connections aren't as smooth
01:20:50well unless something changes in the next 15 minutes this tournament will be over
01:21:02got the press wrong completely there England too easy for Slovakia to come out
01:21:07they look like they were struggling at one point one pass into midfield
01:21:11none of white shirts on the side of the ball Kučka to Lobotka
01:21:24I think Watkins is warming up the fitness coaches now
01:21:32so
01:21:48Kučka trying to send Boženic away
01:21:52it's going to get there but again it was a little bit too simple for Slovakia to get down that side
01:21:57I'm just bemused as to what Gareth's waiting for I really am
01:22:02it's 15 minutes to go 14 minutes to go
01:22:12Gay looking for Bellingham on the charge Skriniar nudges it to far side
01:22:17Palmer allows it to go because he wants to take the throw
01:22:28being harassed by Duda
01:22:31wanted a free kick didn't get one Shishnov who escapes with the ball
01:22:51that should be a free kick to England Pecoric is going to find himself in the referee's notebook
01:22:57so
01:23:2413 to go
01:23:27Boden into Harry Kane usually that would be bulging the net and it's gone wide
01:23:35Skriniar complaining he got fouled on the way in there sitting on the ground there
01:23:40Harry Kane just flicking an arm out there's no foul and it's a really
01:23:45good opportunity slightly behind him and he'd be disappointed he hasn't got that on target
01:23:53overall
01:23:54six goals in his last six appearances in the knockout stage of the
01:23:58major tournament Harry Kane you would bet your house on him
01:24:03from that sort of range
01:24:13it's funny because they've not won a score in any of the games so far from set pieces and that's
01:24:17been their main threat tonight the truth is is that up until this point we're 12 minutes before
01:24:24the end England haven't had a shot on target against the 45th ranked country in the world
01:24:29against the 45th ranked country in the world
01:24:42now to Bellingham, Bellingham's delivering
01:24:50Bellingham's axe-rigging face tells a story so does his
01:25:00the fans are about to come on, Maverick someone that can do something a little bit different
01:25:08two subs for Slovakia to counteract by the look of it
01:25:24Walker
01:25:29now Foden
01:25:42nice again delivering a decent ball into the box just flicked away by Hansko
01:25:47it's just Slov trying to bring it clear Maino doing his best to disrupt
01:25:51England have made one change up until this point
01:26:01we were expecting a big shift at halftime we haven't had that we haven't had the shift in
01:26:06the second half that created a couple of half chances for Harry Kane, obviously Foden should
01:26:12have stayed behind playing scored but more than that again not enough, Foden
01:26:20he can come up with something here, Saka into the centre, Maverick blocks it, Saka again Rice
01:26:27shifting it looking for an effort hits the post comes back to Kane it's going to go over
01:26:33more agony for England he's done everything right hit the target you can see him out of his feet
01:26:39just hooks it back to that near post area Harry Kane a difficult one
01:26:43on the rebound but it's a shot nearly on target
01:26:58he can't believe it he's astonished it didn't go in
01:27:01and Benesch coming on for Slovakia
01:27:15Kutska who was lucky enough to stay on the pitch after a couple of fouls that would normally have
01:27:21generated a yellow card he's being replaced it's a good shot from Rice looks like he's
01:27:27going to bend it in that far corner but just whips his foot around it in the instep he's got power
01:27:33on it off the turf just not enough on the inside of that post they played Germany and the Netherlands
01:27:40in knockout games before Slovakia haven't managed to win one if they win this it will be the biggest
01:27:49result in their history they beat Italy in the World Cup in 2010 but this is knockout football
01:27:56this is a game changer for them
01:28:02and for England just frustrated again I mean how long does it take to get a sub on
01:28:06as he's been standing down there longer than those two subs and they're on
01:28:12come on
01:28:16well England need a goal just to take this to extra time if they don't score in the next eight
01:28:21minutes they are out of the tournament it is over a tournament for which they started as favorites
01:28:27a tournament for which there was incredible expectation and I don't think that it was
01:28:33expectation that was too overinflated bearing in mind the way that the
01:28:39squad was made up the form of the players that were called into the squad
01:28:52but unless something changes very shortly from an England perspective in a positive and Declan
01:28:58Rice doing his best to ensure that no more pitfalls have fallen down I think the fallout
01:29:03has the potential to be every bit as violent as the Icelandic eruption
01:29:08so
01:29:25no one wants it to be over no one watching in this stadium that is of an England persuasion
01:29:29no one watching at home wants it to be over they want something to happen Kobi Maenu has done
01:29:34his very best and look let's also have it right there's not an England player that goes out there
01:29:39not wanting England to succeed at this tournament not being desperate to do their very best
01:29:44but there has been a paralysis that has been inexplicable in this tournament up until this
01:29:48point you've got to be willing to hurt yourself the boys talked about the hunger and desire to
01:29:54win football matches and it's looked a bit lacking you have to say that willingness to
01:30:01run beyond players and hurt yourself physically he can do that Eberichi Ezer will he do it in the
01:30:09next six minutes still Anthony Gordon watches on Parma does his best to win it back Bellingham
01:30:17squeezes it to Ezer lovely turn can he just sneak it through to Parma he couldn't quite he lost his
01:30:22balance still England have it
01:30:31it's a foul by Sisselhoff over on that far side it is an England free kick take your time we've
01:30:37got the quality we've seen that up until now on the set pieces Bowler's delivery has been
01:30:43pretty good Trippier when he was on corners pretty good on the spot we need one now
01:30:52there's Ari Maguire when you need him
01:31:03deep there pinpoint delivery required Kane, Rice, Saka at the back post, Gay he's in there as well
01:31:11it's too close to the goalkeeper Dubravka
01:31:22in by Rice Kane gets a chance to touch sets it back but to no one in particular
01:31:35and now chance for Slovakia to break
01:31:41caution if he's not going to get there fortunately for England
01:31:53still they search
01:31:57Parma on the hunt Hanskoe comes across it's an England throw
01:32:10Parma away by Skriniar Kozunic challenged by Gerhi and he turns it over well
01:32:17out to Parma again try to play a delicate ball into the path of Kane it didn't come off
01:32:22Hanskoe looking for the escape route trying to relieve a bit of pressure on this the
01:32:28Slovakian defense but that's not going to happen I'm afraid England have got to
01:32:32get all hands to the pub and thrust this ball forward
01:32:43not like that Kozunic
01:32:45Hanskoe has left it out to this near side Schrantz is coming forward
01:32:55Kozunic again
01:32:58there's no England player in the center of midfield and Lubaka is going for goal
01:33:05a little out running on empty at the moment England especially in that midfield area
01:33:09and still just the two substitutions when five are available
01:33:24Gareth Southgate must believe that there is a wild card coming from somewhere he must be
01:33:30thinking that England are going to drag themselves some way back into this game and that the changes
01:33:36will be effective in extra time because that's about the best that England can hope for at this
01:33:40moment in time Parma Foden Bellingham wants it it's Lubaka away it's a corner out post everyone
01:33:48has gone to the far post need one just to run into that six six yard box but again set piece come on
01:34:01two minutes to go
01:34:07Foden it's a deeper one this time Bellingham went up with the goalkeeper
01:34:13Ezer keeps it alive headed away by Vavro Ezer has given a foul away
01:34:20just leave him alone he's not doing anything with it he's gonna flick it where to don't give him an
01:34:27out there just hands in the back he's gonna go down every time he's experienced Lubaka
01:34:35feels those hands in the back he goes down
01:34:40England are edging inching closer and closer to an exit
01:34:47an exit for which the shock waves will reverberate the inquest will be deep squad selection balance
01:34:57team selection why no changes why so many underperforming
01:35:03if i was managing i've been trying to get six players on let alone five substitutions
01:35:10Southgate is his own harshest critic but he wasn't expecting this
01:35:27so
01:35:34it's going to be five minutes of additional time
01:35:36so when England get to 90 there's still five to go you never know
01:35:40just about escape from the group now they need another Houdini act
01:35:50so
01:36:09they come again Bero
01:36:13Trance
01:36:16Pecorine ball's gone out of play England need to get it moving quickly
01:36:20six minutes six minutes have been added even better for England more time
01:36:32no suggestion of another sub at the moment
01:36:36Rice, Gay, Stones
01:36:45Saka
01:36:50good turn by Eze, he's forced the corner
01:37:00just hit him on the hip hands behind the back no way is he
01:37:05playing one of those limbs out and we need this underneath the crossbar
01:37:10back post away by Dubravka
01:37:25takes the ball out over on the far side and it goes out for a throw into Slovakia
01:37:29and more seconds tip away more nerves have been shredded and he has done so much
01:37:38over his eight years his achievements have been multiple on and off the field
01:37:44bearing in mind the talent the level that these players reach for their clubs if they were to go
01:37:49out now England this is going to be a severe letdown a real disappointment it really was
01:37:57for him more than anyone
01:38:00he's done so much for England he really has over the last few years but this is just
01:38:05to that tonight it's just been really really poor
01:38:12it's going to be a goal kick that and he's spritzing away he did say to the German media
01:38:18that he wouldn't be around much longer if England didn't win the euro as well it's much worse than
01:38:22that proper shift in Slovakians who knew they would another substitution from them freshening
01:38:35up the legs south gate deciding that's not the way to go for whatever these reasons were here
01:38:40after this is the goal Scrantz just gets in that little position Walker playing him on the side
01:38:51off goes Scrantz Jumbo is on
01:39:01the last few seconds of this match and maybe England's tournament
01:39:07Ivan Tony is about to come on for England as we reach the 93rd nearly 94th minute
01:39:16third nearly 94th minute with six added at the end of the 90.
01:39:31nice forward
01:39:37Slovakia fans behind the goal they're making one hell of a noise
01:39:41the England fans are stunned stunned into silence really
01:39:47Palmer trying to help it in to walk his path goes out for an England throw by the corner flag
01:39:54here comes the substitution they're trying to get him on now
01:39:57last goal he scored was a penalty against Belgium in March for England
01:40:02here comes the substitution they're trying to get him on now closing off Tony on
01:40:10first ever Brentford representative for England in the major tournament
01:40:17last goal he scored was a penalty against Belgium in March for England
01:40:24so
01:40:30thrown in by Walker Tony trying to disrupt Rice keeping it alive Lubotka away another England
01:40:39throw Slovakia did beat Germany in 2016 in a friendly but
01:40:47nothing like this has happened for a long time here's the overhead kick from
01:40:54yes on the weekend he turned 21 Jude Ballingham has shown why he is England's favourite son
01:41:05moments before they were exiting Euro 2024 Jude Ballingham has come to Gareth Southgate
01:41:14and England's rescue there may be life in the old dog yet
01:41:19well we've been critical he's not been at his best the shadow of his former
01:41:28self this season but watch this that is why he plays for Real Madrid
01:41:34that is why he saved England and saved Gareth Southgate in the last minute of the game
01:41:43he's pulled out a rabbit from the hat what a goal
01:41:51they have changed the game can they change the narrative
01:42:02well it only takes a second to score a goal but
01:42:07it was worth waiting for
01:42:09the flick was ever so important but the finish
01:42:18first half he wasn't in the game at all not really in the second half a little bit better but that
01:42:26worth the entrance money
01:42:34they don't make it easy on the heart do they
01:42:39but it's lifted the spirits in this stadium a stadium that was stunned that was silent
01:42:46that was almost as stunned as the England team over the course of this 90 minutes
01:42:56but in the 95th minute of the game a moment of pure brilliance from Bellingham
01:43:01has kept England's tournament alive
01:43:04but you know what Sam he's still got two substitutions for extra time genius
01:43:12we did say that we think that must be what he's thinking but i don't think anyone saw that coming
01:43:20but hey Jude a whole nation has just thanked you these supporters on their feet again England
01:43:27on their feet again England aren't going to make it comfortable it's not going to be an easy
01:43:33experience for you but after another difficult 90 minutes there's another 30 minutes of extra
01:43:40time to come the 90 minutes is over England won Slovakia won
