- England manager recalls tough moments in campaign
- Southgate must lift exhausted players for quarter-final
Gareth Southgate has attempted to rally the nation behind his England team at Euro 2024 with a reminder that the memories of Italia 90 and Euro 96 have become more cherished over the years and overlook the difficulties experienced at the time.
England have set up a quarter‑final against Switzerland on Saturday after a heart-stopping 2-1 win over Slovakia on Sunday, and there is no doubt they have problems. Southgate is grateful for the mini-break to recalibrate his players, many of whom were shattered after extra time against Slovakia, some carrying knocks and bruises.
