EM 2021: England and Croatia in the round of 16! – Soccer

Close thing in group D!

Ex-Bayern star Ivan Perisic heads Croatia past the Czech Republic late. The vice-world champion is now second in the round of 16. England are group winners thanks to a 1-0 win against the Czechs.

But one after anonther.

England discovers Sancho

One is only invited to the island party after the fact …

England celebrated the group victory, booked the round of 16 Tuesday (6 p.m.) in Wembley. Deserved 1-0 win against the Czech Republic. So the English are a possible opponent of ours if we finish second …

Sterling: “Our goal from the start was to win this group. If you want to win, you have to beat everyone in the round of 16. “

The island is celebrating, but Jadon Sancho (21) is still only an EM tourist!

In the decisive game for first place, coach Gareth Southgate (50) prefers Arsenal boy Bukayo Saka (19). He’s allowed to play, although the trainer even voluntarily renounces Pep star Phil Foden (due to the risk of yellow card suspension).

Means: Sancho is no longer even the second choice! Incomprehensible for some fans who celebrate him when he came on in the 84th minute. Sterling makes the golden goal, only has to nod off after Grealish flank (12th).

Only with striker Harry Kane it doesn’t work. He remains without a European Championship goal, two England goals in 3 games are not great anyway …

In addition: Mason Mount (22) and Ben Chilwell (24 / both Chelsea) have to be in quarantine up to and including next Monday, are contact persons for the Scot Billy Gilmour (20), who tested positive for Corona.

Modric-Traumschlenzer and Perisic-Header

Without the youngster, the Scots have to close in the parallel game. Croatia wins the all-or-nothing game, is next to the Czech Republic (3rd) with four points in the round of 16.

The constellation in Glasgow’s Hampden Park is something for football fans: Croatia and Scotland MUST win, if there is a tie they are out. Croatia’s Vlasic (17th) hits early, McGregor hammers through everyone from 16 meters (42nd) – the 1-1.

Not enough in the end, because real star Modric (62nd / outer leg) – and Perisic (77th) hit with a header!
