FANS have been left fearing for England after Serbia thumped Sweden in their final Euro 2024 preparation match.
The Three Lions were beaten 1-0 by Iceland in their final warm-up match which has set alarm bells ringing ahead of the tournament.
To make matters worse, England’s first opponents looked in good form as they dispatched Sweden.
Sergej Milinkovic-Savic opened the scoring for Serbia at the Friends Arena in Sweden.
Aleksandar Mitrovic made it 2-0 on the hour mark before Dusan Tadic wrapped up the win ten minutes later.

A fourth said: “Play like we did against Iceland and Serbia and Denmark will beat us. Complacency will get us grouped.”
A fifth added: “Serbia are gonna absolutely smash us next weekend!”
England take on Serbia in their opening fixture of Euro 2024 on June 16.
Gareth Southgate’s side will then face Denmark and Slovenia in their remaining group-stage games.
The defeat to Iceland however has dampened spirits as the team were booed off at Wembley.
The manager admitted that he “understood” the boos but did suggest that the result did not reflect the match.
He said: “I completely understand [the boos]. We didn’t play well enough to keep them excited within the game.
“We had some very, very good chances which normally would be finished which could have given a different complexion to the game and of course would have affected the confidence of the opponent.
“But that would have masked some flaws that were apparent tonight. From my perspective, I’ve learned a lot from the game.

“It does focus the mind that any sort of complacency that talent is going to get us this trophy and that we only have to stroll in…football is not like that.
“You’ve got to be spot on in every aspect of the game to win any game at this level and we were a long way short of that tonight and Iceland deserved their win.”
