      What is wolf game? Card game that England have been playing at Euro 2024

      by

      A CARD game may well be the secret to England’s success at Euro 2024.The Three Lions opened their campaign with a 1-0 win over Serbia – although Gareth Southgate’s men were far from their best.Jude Bellingham revealed his celebration against Serbia was in tribute to the card game WerewolfJude Bellingham scored the only goal of the game and whipped out a celebration not many had seen before.And the Real Madrid star revealed that a card game was behind the celebration – and it’s one that England have played since at least the 2022 World Cup.What is Werewolf and how do you play it?Speaking after their opening Euro 2024 game, Bellingham revealed that his celebration was because one of the England staff members always pulls the face.Bellingham was talking about Werewolf. He said: “When we play Wolf, one of the staff loves loves that face when he doesn’t have a clue what’s going on.”That was a group celebration for the Wolf, the Wolf crew.”It is a card game which requires strategic thinking to come out on top and the objective of the game is to identify and kill the werewolves amongst the villagers.Werewolf takes place over a series of game rounds and each round has two phases – day and night.Most read in Euro 2024During the day, the village discusses who they think is guilty and during the night, players can use special powers while the werewolves make their kill.Players start by shuffling and dealing out the game cards, making sure to include two werewolves, a Doctor, and a Seer card. There are also wild cards that can be played such as the Drunk, the Witch, and the Alpha Werewolf. It starts off in the night phase where the moderator has the werewolves choose a victim, the Doctor is allowed to save one person, and the Seer gets to make a guess on the person they suspect of being a werewolf. When the night round concludes, the day round starts and the players discuss their characters before taking a vote on who they believe is a werewolf. That player is then killed and the night round begins again. The game continues until either the werewolves or the villagers win.What has been said about Werewolf?During the 2022 World Cup, Harry Kane admitted that it is a good way to build the team chemistry and a large group of the squad get involved.During the 2022 World Cup Harry Kane revealed that Werewolf is good for team bondingCredit: GettyKane said at the time: “There about 16 or 17 of us that play Wolf and it is a great way to kill some time. It also helps with team bonding.READ MORE SUN STORIESAnd Manchester City star Kalvin Phillips also revealed it’s a game you can enjoy by just watching.Phillips said: “It’s definitely one you can watch as it’s quite funny and even if I’m not around there, when they get somebody out. You can hear them cheering by the pool.” More

      by

      ENGLAND kick off their Euro 2024 campaign TONIGHT against Serbia.But one Three Lions regular will be missing the match as he did NOT make Gareth Southgate’s final England squad.Jack Grealish is NOT in the England squad for Euro 2024Credit: Sunday TimesJack Grealish was the biggest name missing from the 26-man Euro 2024 squad as Southgate named a new-look squad for the tournament earlier this month.Why is Jack Grealish not in the England squad?England boss Southgate said that for Grealish, it ultimately came down to his recent club form.The winger has struggled to consistently break into the Man City team in recent months and Southgate revealed he preferred the likes of Cole Palmer, Eberechi Eze and Anthony Gordon as they had been bang in form in the Premier League.Southgate said: “The fact is we’ve got some players who have been playing extremely well all season in the league and we just feel other players have had stronger seasons – particularly in the past six months or so.”We saw some fantastic performances the other night which underlined some of that and in the attacking area of the pitch we’re blessed with a lot of options and they’re all slightly different.”What Southgate said about axed England stars
      WHAT Gareth Southgate said about his axed England stars after confirming his 26-man England squad for Euro 2024.
      Harry Maguire
      “The decision on Harry [Maguire] is totally about his physical condition and his recovery from the injury. There is no other reason as he is one of our strongest centre-backs.
      “Harry has made some progress, but it’s been complicated and we wouldn’t have had him in the group stages. There were too many hurdles to get through without being clear where we might get to.
      “Knowing we haven’t got a clean bill of health across the rest of the backline, we need players who are fit and ready to go from the start.
      “It was a really difficult call, you know how I feel about Harry, what he’s done for England and for me as a manager. ”
      Jack Grealish
      “I have just delivered a really difficult conversation to a lad who is devastated.
      “I think the world of him as a kid.“It certainly doesn’t get any easier.
      “You put yourself in the shoes of a player, a parent. You understand that for these players this is a devastating moment.
      “We knew we had a couple of really difficult days coming up.”
      James Maddison
      “Madders [Maddison] and Jack [Grealish] would have provided us with something different as well and they’ve been tough calls.
      “They’re calls we’ve gone over and over and over as a group of staff to try to be fair and to try to use the right rationale.
      “We back our decisions but we recognise we could have gone a different route. The boys are big characters, fabulous team-mates and great boys to work with.
      “It’s sad to have to deliver that news to them.”
      Jarrad Branthwaite
      “It’s a bit early for Jarrad [Branthwaite]. He has had a fabulous season, it was good to get him on the pitch the other night.
      “But of course, in an ideal world, you’d like that balance of left-footers. For him to be in ahead of the others, I don’t think it would have been the right call at this stage.”
      Jarell Quansah
      “Jarell Quansah has stayed with us. He’s not had the experience of an England international at Wembley. It’ll be great for him to be us for the game.
      “Hopefully we’re not needing to call anyone else in.”

      He added: “[James Maddison] and Jack [Grealish] would have provided us with something different as well and they’ve been tough calls.”They’re calls we’ve gone over and over and over as a group of staff to try to be fair and to try to use the right rationale.”We back our decisions but we recognise we could have gone a different route. The boys are big characters, fabulous team-mates and great boys to work with.Most read in Euro 2024″It’s sad to have to deliver that news to them.”What did the players say about Jack Grealish’s omission?England players were apparently “shocked” by Grealish not making the squad, according to Man City team-mate Kyle Walker.Walker said: “Shocked because I know what Jack can do. Was I shocked because of the players that he’s [Southgate] brought in? No.”Because I think they’re all at a great quality and they’ve all had fantastic seasons. “I think Jack would be the first one to say he could have had a better season.”I think he’s come out publicly and said he could’ve had a better season. So what does the manager base it on?”Form or people that he knows and that has had good tournaments or a good season, the season before, . “You’re here on merit and I believe always it should be like that. That you’re in this team because you’ve played well for your club which then puts you into the England fold.” More

      The next obstacle for The Danes will be a match-up with England at Deutch Bank Park on Thursday.
      There is no doubt that they will have looked at this as the toughest test of their fixtures in this group.
      Slovenia meanwhile, will play Serbia in the Allianz Arena.
      Copy linkCopiedRasmus struggles to make impact
      Rasmus Hojlund put in a shift for Denmark today but it seemed to be a common theme which we saw in the Premier League.
      He likes to drop deep into pockets of space and work the channels but far too often is not in the penalty area.
      This drastically effects his numbers and some would say is why he is not hitting 20 goals a season as when he receives the ball, he is in positions where he cannot hurt the opposition.
      Copy linkCopiedDragons show they have fight in them
      Slovenia will have impressed many this evening with their effort levels right up until the final whistle.
      Despite going behind to Denmark, they gave up hope that they could find a way back into this game.
      At one stage, having got their goal, you even wondered whether they would go on to win the match.
