On Tuesday night, during Euro 2024, things got heated at the match between England and Slovenia. The fans were not happy with England's performance and showed their frustration by throwing cups towards Gareth Southgate, the England boss. While it was not intentional, the cups ended up hitting some of the players' families who were in the stands, including children. Aston Villa's Ezri Konsa shared that his brother was one of the people who got hit, but luckily, he was okay.
After the game, Konsa and his teammates made sure to check on their loved ones to make sure they were not hurt. This kind of behavior from fans is not uncommon, but it is still unpleasant. Konsa mentioned that they are used to dealing with rowdy fans at club level, but it's still not something they want to experience during an important international tournament like Euro 2024. However, they try not to dwell on it and focus on their game instead.
England's next game is against Slovakia in the last-16 stage of Euro 2024. It's a crucial match for them, and if they win, they will face either Switzerland or Italy in the quarter-finals. The first two group matches for England had mixed results - they won against Serbia but struggled against Denmark. This time, they were held to a goalless draw by Slovenia, which did not sit well with fans and former England players who criticized their performance.
The last group match did not offer much improvement, but there were some positive signs in the second half when Kobbie Mainoo and Cole Palmer came on as substitutes. Now, all eyes are on the game against Slovakia, and England will have to bring their A-game if they want to advance to the next round. The fans will be hoping for a better and more convincing performance from the Three Lions.
