      KingCasinoBonus’ Supercomputer crunched the numbers to predict the outcome of the Euros.
      And they make Gareth Southgate’s “Golden Generation” of talent favourites to win it all.
      They give the Three Lions a 31.6 per cent chance of bringing it home with hosts Germany third with 12.9 per cent.
      Second is 2018 World Cup winners France on 29.6 per cent but there is apparently a 53 per cent chance England will meet Les Bleus in the semis.

      England have drawn Denmark, Slovenia and Serbia.
      Manager Southgate said: “Certainly when Denmark came out, and you could still have Denmark, Croatia, Italy or something like that, then you’re wondering where it’s heading.
      “But then, of course, you have to be very careful not to underestimate the opponents you have.
      “I’ve been fortunate as a coach and a player to have been to eight tournaments.

      “I’ve seen a lot of teams that were fancied and well ranked going into tournaments not deliver and not get out of their group.
      “So we have to have the humility to start again, as well as we’ve been playing and as well as we’ve built over a long period of time.
      “We’ve been ranked in the top five in the world for five years, so we’ve had consistency of performances and results.
      “But a new tournament means a new challenge and the first objective is to get out of the group again.” More

      Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane and Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham, plus Manchester City’s English contingent, are hoping to go all the way in the Champions League.

      That is just two weeks before England begin their Euro 2024 campaign against Serbia in Gelsenkirchen on June 16th.
      Southgate has organised two pre-Euro friendlies, the first at Newcastle’s St James’s Park on Monday June 3rd and another at Wembley.‌

      But with the Three Lions stars playing for the top sides in Europe, there could be a few absences during these fixtures.
      This could cause major disruption as seen before the previous Euros when Chelsea beat City in the Champions League final in 2021.
      And the England boss has confirmed players will not be getting a break after the Premier League term finishes on May 19th.
      He said: “We had that, in the Euros, we had that, Chelsea-Man City last time around, so again we’re used to dealing with that.

      ‌“You’d love to have all of the players for all of the prep camps, but that’s not our reality.
      “We’ve dealt with that in the past, so we know what it needs to look like.
      “It’s important they get some sort of psychological break in between but, of course, the longer they play, the less you can give them is the reality.”
      England have landed a relatively comfortable draw on Saturday, facing Serbia, Denmark and Slovenia in Group C of Euro 2024. More

      Reports from The Telegraph suggest that it could take Pope four to five months to recover.
      This means he could not play again for Newcastle this season.
      It also leaves him in danger of not making England’s squad for Euro 2024 in the summer.
      After Pope sustained the injury, Eddie Howe admitted that the 31-year-old could need an operation.

      The manager also revealed that it looked like a dislocated shoulder, which is a problem the keeper has suffered from before.
      Howe told TNT Sports: “It looked really innocuous, but that is usually the way and they are normally the more serious ones.

      “You could see he was in distress.”
      Pope is set to be replaced by Martin Dubravka, with Loris Karius now second choice.

      The issue is Newcastle’s latest blow amid an injury crisis at St James’ Park.
      Pope will join Callum Wilson, Sven Botman, Dan Burn, Harvey Barnes, Joe Willock, Sean Longstaff, Matt Targett, Jacob Murphy and Elliott Anderson in the treatment room.
      Newcastle travel to Everton on Thursday before huge clashes with Spurs and AC Milan.

      The 31-year-old YouTuber said: “There was a security guard there checking people’s accreditation, but we just walked past and he didn’t pull me up.
      “You’ve just got to walk in like you own the place and are meant to be there and get past them fast.
      “There were a lot of people there but no one asked what I was doing.

      Jarvo, from Gravesend, Kent, pulled the same prank on Match of the Day earlier this year.
      And after repeating the feat on Saturday he celebrated by partying until 6am — then missed his flight back to Stansted today. More

      England’s path to Euro 2024 final revealed but one slip up in the group and it could turn into a NIGHTMARE

      by

      ENGLAND’S possible route to Euro 2024 glory has been revealed.The draw for the tournament took place on Saturday evening with the Three Lions set to play Serbia, Denmark and Slovenia in a the group stages.

      England kick-off their tournament against the Serbians on June 16, and four days later they clash with the Danes in Frankfurt.
      Gareth Southgate’s will then hopefully seal their spot in the knockout rounds against Slovenia on June 25.
      England are firm favourites to top the table after their very friendly draw, and would be set to play the best third placed team from Group D/E/F.
      SunSport reckon that it could be one of Austria, Czech Republic or Slovakia.
      READ MORE ENGLAND NEWS
      Progressing from the last 16 would set up a potential tie against Italy in the quarter-final on July 6.
      The game would be a rematch of the Euro 2020 final, which the Italians won on penalties.
      However, the holders’ route to the quarter-final is far from straightforward and they face a group of Spain, Croatia and Albania to navigate.
      England could then play France in the semi-final, giving Harry Kane a chance to get revenge on Les Bleus after his missed penalty in the 2022 World Cup quarter-final.

      In the final, the likes of Germany, Spain, Portugal could be the opponents.
      But one slip up by England in the group stage and it could lead to a nightmare path to the showpiece in Berlin on July 14.
      Coming second could create a clash against bitter rivals Germany in the last 16.
      And it doesn’t get any easier if the host nation are beaten with Spain potentially waiting in the quarter-final.
      England are then most likely to face Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal in Munich in a battle to reach the final.
      Should Southgate’s men come through the nightmare path, it could set up a clash for the trophy against France. More

      It was being broadcast live on BBC2.
      The commotion started just as David Silva was picking out Switzerland as the final team in Group A.
      And the former Manchester City star did not know where to look as the erotic-style noises could clearly be heard echoing around the Hamburg arena.
      Presenters, including stunning Esther Sedlaczek, did their best to carry on through the disruption, with Uefa bigwig Giorgio Marchetti acknowledging: “We have some noises.”
      However, Rangers and Denmark icon Brian Laudrup struggled to keep a straight face on stage as the draw continued.
      While Germany team boss Julian Nagelsmann seemed to be trying to suppress a giggle when the camera panned to him.
      It soon emerged that the stunt was pulled off by infamous British prankster ‘Jarvo’.
      He previously hit the headlines in January last year when he played an identical prank on Gary Lineker on BBC1’s live coverage of Wolves vs Liverpool in the FA Cup.

      On that occasion he had hidden a mobile phone to a chair in the Beeb’s studio with the sound set as its ring-tone, and continually called it.
      It appears Saturday’s prank was the same.
      Reacting to the prank on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan said: “These guys are so composed I’d be losing my s***.”
      A second said: “Jarvo is such a menace lmao.”
      A third said: “Wtf was that noise during Euro 2024 draw.”
      Another said: “Naah this man is unstoppable.”
      However, some fans were not happy with the antics and slammed “Jarvo” for the act.
      One fan said: “Grow up you imbecile.”
      Another said: “Ruining big occasions aint funny.”
      One simply wrote: “What a loser.”
