Euro 2024 opener against Serbia, the UK Football Policing Unit has confirmed.
Gelsenkirchen police said after England’s 1-0 win on June 16 that there had been a total of eight arrests connected to the match, with one British national and seven Serbian nationals taken into custody.
“The details of the supporters who have been issued with football banning orders are as follows: Todd Hines, aged 21, of Maitland Road in Essex, was given a three-year football banning order. Liam Jackson, aged 28, of Beech Street in Lincoln, was given a three-year football banning order. Lewis Dodsworth, aged 29, of Fulwell Road in Sunderland, was given a five-year football banning order. Kyran Alcock, aged 28, of Martindale Avenue in Sunderland, was given a three-year football banning order. Jack Hatton, aged 27, of Fordfield Road in Sunderland, was given a five-year football banning order. Gary McIvor, aged 38, of Eden Crescent in Darlington, was given a five-year football banning order.”
England have proven to be a collection of football stickers, star players, with no footballing empathy among each other. It is jarring to see Trent Alexander-Arnold in the double pivot position in midfield, a vital role for which he does not have the knowhow.
Euro 2024 was “totally correct”, according to Uefa referees’ chief Roberto Rosetti.
The pair received some criticism from television pundits in the UK and on social media for ruling out the goal after Attwell agreed with Taylor that Netherlands full-back Denzel Dumfries was impeding France goalkeeper Mike Maignan while stood in an offside position as Xavi Simons’ shot flew in.
There was also criticism for how long it took the officials to reach the decision, and while Rosetti admitted the duration of the review was an “element of improvement” he felt the right outcome was reached in a complex situation.
“The Uefa referee committee totally supported the decision,” the Italian said. “We think that the decision is right and we are also happy about the process. There are always elements for improvement. In this situation, the element of improvement is the duration of this review. For sure the duration can be less, we can decrease the duration of the review (but) I want to tell you that it’s not easy.
“In this situation the VAR checked two possible offsides, he had to check the possible impact of the attacker on the goalkeeper and a previous contact between two other players. Then we can add that we are at the Euro, the pressure is the pressure, and of course we always support accuracy. At the end the decision is totally correct.”

The teenager has clearly been putting in the hard work both on and off the pitch. “I passed the exams and I have the ESO title now,” Yamal told Spanish radio station Onda Cero. “The last grades I’ve seen? If I’m honest, I saw them on my phone and it said I had passed so I just closed the app, called my mum and told her.”
Euro 2024 campaign is beginning to take the appearance of a biblical ordeal, then rest assured: there are still plenty of potential plagues to come. The 1-1 draw against Switzerland in their final group game – salvaged only by an injury-time equaliser from Niclas Füllkrug – has served a timely reproof to the illusion that any of this was going to be easy.
Euro 2024 finals “on the chin and move on”.
England’s Test cricket captain, who was called in by Southgate to address the squad during their pre-tournament training camp at Middlesbrough’s Rockliffe Park headquarters, knows all about the pressure of performing under intense scrutiny.
The 33-year-old famously played a starring role as Eoin Morgan’s side lifted the 50-over World Cup with a dramatic victory over New Zealand in 2019 and, later the same summer, kept the Ashes alive with a stunning unbeaten 135 in a third Test win at Headingley, delivering when his country needed it most.
Asked how he coped with the pressure placed on him, as the nation’s footballers must now do, he said: “Just take it on the chin and move on.”
Asked what he had said during his time with the squad and what his advice would be now, Stokes said: “I really enjoyed going up and meeting the team. It was nice to get that invite from Gareth. I’ll keep what we spoke about there to myself but, look, they’ve got through to the knockout stages.
“Unfortunately it’s just the way that, I guess, the English mentality is, their team gets through to the knockout stages and they’re getting a load of grief. It’s interesting – I know what it’s like – but I guess that comes from expectation and everyone wanting their team to do well. But let’s just believe, eh?”

Putin khuylo!” (Putin is a dickhead) to the questioning of Sagnol’s decision to drop a player who had vocally backed those protesting against Georgia’s alleged slide from democratic norms, there are signs of the battle being waged to claim the football team’s glory for one side or the other in the country’s political debate.
