ENGLAND are looking to win their first ever European championship this summer at Euro 2024.
The Three Lions came agonisingly close last time out in the Euro 2020 edition three years ago.

What is England’s heaviest loss in the Euros?
England have been a lot more fortunate in the Euros as they have never suffered a heavy defeat.
The worst it got for the Three Lions was back in 1988 when they lost 3-1 to the Netherlands and the Soviet Union.
Both games took place in the group stage when the three teams were also drawn with the Republic of Ireland.
England lost all three games and finished bottom of the group in what is still remembered as the national team’s worst ever Euros tournament.
