      Turkey vs Portugal previewTo the victor belong the spoils.Both winners of their opening Euro 2024 contests – just – Turkey and Portugal clash for top position in Group F and guaranteed progression to the knockout stages on Saturday.Turkey edged out Georgia 3-1 earlier this week in a clash that many believe deserves its own Wikipedia page.It was an instant classic in a piping hot atmosphere with both sides giving absolutely everything before teenager Arda Guler eventually grabbed the crucial winner.EURO 2024 FREE BETS AND OFFERSThings were a little less exhilarating for Roberto Martinez’s Portugal, who required an injury-time winner from Francisco Conceicao to clinch three points.It was still entertaining but they struggled to break down a stubborn Czech Republic, who opted for perhaps the most defensive set-up of any side at this year’s Euros.Martinez and his new Golden Generation are one of the tournament favourites having won every game during qualifying, but there it looks clear that he still doesn’t know his best starting XI.It’s not a match that’s been particularly kind to Turkey over the years. They’ve met each other seven times with Portugal winning six of those with Turkey’s only win coming in a friendly.Turkey vs Portugal: Free betting tips, odds and predictions for Euro 2024 clashCredit: THE SUNTurkey vs Portugal oddsOdds are correct at the time of publication and are subject to change.Turkey vs Portugal betting tipsGoalsYes, Portugal required a rather large slice of luck to beat their opponents, who are ranked behind Qatar in FIFA’s world rankings (36th).But it was still a reasonable enough display given the Czech Republic’s conservative 5-3-2 formation. It was actually more like a back six with a defensive diamond in front.Nevertheless, Roberto Martinez’s side still boasted 69% possession, 19 efforts at goal, eight on target and an xG of 1.82.Turkey certainly won’t show the same rearguard action as the Czechs, and that will help this fluid Portugal side who scored more goals (36) than any other team in qualifying.
      Portugal to win and over 3.5 goals in the match at 6/5 with William Hill – CLAIM HERE
      Brace yourselvesIf Portugal are expected to score a few against Turkey, who shipped a bumper 15 efforts to minnows Georgia, then Cristiano Ronaldo should be the main beneficiary.The 39-year-old scored 44 goals in 45 games for Al-Nassr last season, and enters Euro 2024 having netted 12 goals in his last 12 starts for Portugal – including five braces.He still spearheads the attack, he still takes the penalties and he still managed to fire off five efforts at goal against the Czechs with the highest xG of any player on the pitch.
      Cristiano Ronaldo to score 2+ goals at 19/5 with William Hill – CLAIM HERE
      Yellow warningPortugal’s Nuno Mendes was a touch fortunate to avoid a booking against the Czech Republic on Tuesday.The Paris Saint-Germain left-back competed in 19 duels and committed two fouls during his 90-minute display.He also lost possession 21 times and that could be telling against Turkey’s wonderkid Arda Guler, who was a menace down the right channel against Georgia.Mendes has been booked three times in 24 appearances for Portugal, while he picked up four in 14 for PSG last season. He could have a more difficult assignment if Roberto Martinez reverts to a back four this weekend.

      Moment Gary Lineker ‘f***s up’ live on BBC during coverage of England’s Euro 2024 draw with Denmark

      by

      GARY LINEKER admitted to a “f*** up” live on air during England’s 1-1 draw with Denmark.The BBC host headed a star-studded panel for last night’s Euro clash.Gary Lineker revealed to a ‘f*** up’ on live TV during England’s draw with DenmarkFans were left fuming after England produced a woeful performance while failing to secure a place in the knockout stages.But there was an equally comical moment in the BBC studios before kick-off as Lineker talked to Micah Richards, Rio Ferdinand and Thomas Frank.With the programme just minutes underway, Lineker turned to Brentford boss Frank for his views on Southgate’s tactics.But at the same time, Lineker was told in his ear that the show was cutting live to an interview with the England manager at that very moment.READ MORE ON EURO 2024This forced the host to make a sharp U-turn in dialogue.But Lineker was able to make light of the situation when the cameras returned.Lineker said: “Thomas, I’d be interested to get your thoughts on the job that Gareth Southgate has done.“But we’ll hold that for just a second. Let’s head back to hear from Gareth.”Most read in Euro 2024EURO 2024 FREE BETS AND OFFERSPundits and legends lay into EnglandENGLAND’s lifeless display in the 1-1 draw with Denmark left pundits and legends queuing up to take a dig at Gareth Southgate’s team.
      Here’s the best of what was said…
      ALAN SHEARER
      “Awful performance, particularly after going up in the game.
      “I don’t think one England player can look at themselves and say, ‘I’ve done my job tonight’.
      “England were all over the place, far too sloppy in possession, gave the ball away too much and got caught too many times.
      “There was no energy, no pace, no guile — Southgate is simply not getting the best out of England’s best players.
      “It’s concerning and Gareth will get some serious questions.
      “You saw England players lying on their backs — they look absolutely shattered but there’s no excuse for that.”
      GARY LINEKER
      The BBC host called the performance “lifeless and tepid”.
      On Harry Kane he said: “He needs his manager to ask more of him. I would have expected that if I’d put in that kind of performance.”
      RIO FERDINAND
      “The players don’t look the same as they do for their clubs. It is a big concern.”
      ROY KEANE
      “Courage and bravery, we’re not really seeing it.
      “There’s something amiss with the balance. Bellingham is waving his arms.
      “This is a big test for Gareth. It looks like he’s overthinking things.”
      JAMIE CARRAGHER
      “My big worry watching this and for the rest of the tournament?
      “England look absolutely knackered. They can’t get close to the ball.
      “The surest sign of fatigue is dropping deep.
      “Declan Rice is having to cover so much ground. No-one can convince me this is a strategy.”
      JACK WILSHERE
      “It’s strange that we have taken the lead in both games so far, yet instead of it settling us down and giving us the confidence to play, we have failed to take control.
      “But what was most worrying was that Denmark had a clear way of playing — while we didn’t.”

      Ferdinand was then heard exclaiming as the cameras switched to Southgate: “That was smooth!”They then returned to the studio, with Lineker repeating: “Thomas, I’d love to get your thoughts on Gareth Southgate!”Harry Kane’s interview after Denmark draw ‘beyond concerning’ as Lineker and Richards fear for England’s Euro 2024EURO 2024 LIVE: KEEP UP TO DATE WITH ALL THE LATEST NEWS FROM GERMANYThis prompted fits of laughter from the studio as the show continued in style.Lineker then explained the moment on The Rest Is Football podcast, admitting to a “f*** up.”He said: “I’d forgotten we were going to the Southgate interview first. I just got into my head I was going to ask Thomas about Southgate.“It’s fine, it’s live. Sometimes you make mistakes, you deal with it. I’ve got a lot of experience.“I also know ultimately, television is not going to change anyone’s life.“And people also like it when you f*** up, when you make a mistake.READ MORE SUN STORIES“The only thing you can never do is go ‘Oh s***’. Don’t worry about it. “And sometimes it’s better to tell people at home, which I did when I asked him exactly the same question.”ENGLAND vs DENMARK RATINGSENGLAND stumbled to a drab 1-1 draw with Denmark.
      Here’s how SunSport’s Tom Barclay rated the Three Lions team.
      Jordan Pickford: 6
      Looked a little jittery early doors, though there was nothing he could do about Morten Hjulmand’s corker and he made a decent parry after the break.
      Kyle Walker: 7 
      Made England’s opener by racing round a sleeping Victor Kristiansen – he’ll be having nightmares of that forevermore – and teeing up Kane via a deflected cross.
      John Stones: 6
      OK but you have got to wonder how fit he feels having barely played for Man City in the second half of the season, plus his injury and illness issues over the last month.
      Marc Guehi: 8 and my star man
      Really encouraging again from the Crystal Palace centre-back, looking sharp with his interceptions and assured in distribution.
      Kieran Trippier: 6
      Like Stones, he was fine, but England really need Luke Shaw back ASAP because having no natural left-footer at left-back is a problem.
      Trent Alexander-Arnold: 5
      This experiment of playing Trent in midfield is far from convincing, especially when his passing was off it like it was here, barring one good ball to Saka. Subbed on 54 minutes.
      Declan Rice: 5
      Had to cover so much ground as England dropped worryingly deep in the first half and also lost it a few times in front of his back four.
      Bukayo Saka: 7
      Not quite as electric as his first half against Serbia, but another solid showing from our right winger who has been our most consistent attacker across the two games.
      Jude Bellingham: 6
      Nowhere near the majestic display he put in against Serbia and one of many who looked tired.
      Phil Foden: 7
      Was far more involved than against Serbia – although that was not hard – and had a few dangerous efforts from range, including one that smacked the post after the break.
      Harry Kane: 6
      Netted his 64th goal for his country with an opener he could not really miss, but then gave the ball away from Denmark’s leveller. Surprisingly subbed.
      SUBS:
      Conor Gallagher (on for Trent, 54): 7
      Vital clearance on the stretch when Christian Eriksen was lurking and was not afraid to put his foot in.
      Ollie Watkins (on for Kane, 70): 6
      Played in by Bellingham’s lovely ball after coming on but could not finish from an acute angle.
      Jarrod Bowen (on for Foden, 69): 6
      Copped a nasty tackle which saw Joakim Maehle booked.
      Eberechi Eze (on for Saka, 69): 6
      On for his tournament bow though he was rarely involved. More

      GARETH SOUTHGATE should be brave and play Declan Rice as our sole holding midfielder.
      But if England manager Southgate doesn’t want to do that — and he probably doesn’t ­— then he needs to give Rice the chance to play more like he does for Arsenal.
      Let’s be absolutely clear here. Rice was so important for us again during that first half against Denmark.
      The fact that he had a difficult second 45 minutes showed how much England were struggling.
      Rice himself would hold his hands up and say he gave away the ball too often.
      But what I took overall from his performance is that he needs more help in the engine room.
      Read here how Jack Wilshere would resolve the Declan Rice dilemma. More

ENGLAND vs DENMARK RATINGSENGLAND stumbled to a drab 1-1 draw with Denmark.
      Here’s how SunSport’s Tom Barclay rated the Three Lions team.
      Jordan Pickford: 6
      Looked a little jittery early doors, though there was nothing he could do about Morten Hjulmand’s corker and he made a decent parry after the break.
      Kyle Walker: 7 
      Made England’s opener by racing round a sleeping Victor Kristiansen – he’ll be having nightmares of that forevermore – and teeing up Kane via a deflected cross.
      John Stones: 6
      OK but you have got to wonder how fit he feels having barely played for Man City in the second half of the season, plus his injury and illness issues over the last month.
      Marc Guehi: 8 and my star man
      Really encouraging again from the Crystal Palace centre-back, looking sharp with his interceptions and assured in distribution.
      Kieran Trippier: 6
      Like Stones, he was fine, but England really need Luke Shaw back ASAP because having no natural left-footer at left-back is a problem.
      Trent Alexander-Arnold: 5
      This experiment of playing Trent in midfield is far from convincing, especially when his passing was off it like it was here, barring one good ball to Saka. Subbed on 54 minutes.
      Declan Rice: 5
      Had to cover so much ground as England dropped worryingly deep in the first half and also lost it a few times in front of his back four.
      Bukayo Saka: 7
      Not quite as electric as his first half against Serbia, but another solid showing from our right winger who has been our most consistent attacker across the two games.
      Jude Bellingham: 6
      Nowhere near the majestic display he put in against Serbia and one of many who looked tired.
      Phil Foden: 7
      Was far more involved than against Serbia – although that was not hard – and had a few dangerous efforts from range, including one that smacked the post after the break.
      Harry Kane: 6
      Netted his 64th goal for his country with an opener he could not really miss, but then gave the ball away from Denmark’s leveller. Surprisingly subbed.
      SUBS:
      Conor Gallagher (on for Trent, 54): 7
      Vital clearance on the stretch when Christian Eriksen was lurking and was not afraid to put his foot in.
      Ollie Watkins (on for Kane, 70): 6
      Played in by Bellingham’s lovely ball after coming on but could not finish from an acute angle.
      Jarrod Bowen (on for Foden, 69): 6
      Copped a nasty tackle which saw Joakim Maehle booked.
      Eberechi Eze (on for Saka, 69): 6
      On for his tournament bow though he was rarely involved. More
