    JUDE BELLINGHAM was England’s head boy as Gareth Southgate’s side made a winning start in Germany.
    The Real Madrid superstar oozed class throughout and broke the deadlock with only 13 minutes played thanks to an excellent header, dispatching Bukayo Saka’s deflected cross.
    But, despite the brilliant start, it was a nervy affair here in Gelsenkirchen.
    Serbia exerted significant pressure in the second half, with a few narrow escapes for Southgate’s men.
    Harry Kane barely had a kick and the Premier League’s player of the year Phil Foden struggled to have any influence on the left of the Three Lions’ front three.
    Here’s how SunSport’s Tom Barclay rated England’s stars… with TWO stars getting just a 5.

    Tolami’s man started on the right wing for Gareth Southgate’s side and bagged the assist for Jude Bellingham’s header before leaving the pitch in the 75th minute.It was a fine display from Saka, 22, after his recent injury and title heartbreak with Arsenal.And he was no doubt inspired to another top performance by Tolami’s show of support.As Saka weaved his way through Serbia’s defence, 23-year-old Tolami wore a white jacket bearing the number 87 on the collar.READ MORE ON WAGSIt’s the number Saka used to wear during his early days at Arsenal.And it is a constant reminder to the star of how hard he’s worked to become a key man for club and country.Fans were loving Tolami’s show of support, with one saying: “She’s beautiful.”Another declared: “Saka is so undisputed.”Most read in Euro 2024One noted: “Big respect.”Another added: “Star boy.”England’s new Wags set to take Euro 2024 by stormTolami is always seen at England games cheering on SakaCredit: GettyShe has nearly 50,000 followers on InstagramCredit: InstagramTolami and Saka have kept their relationship low-profileCredit: InstagramThe pair are a popular couple among fansCredit: InstagramSaka and Tolami reportedly started dating in late 2020 but kept their relationship relatively secret until 2022.The pair hardly ever share pictures of themselves together and do not even follow each other on social media.Indeed, neither are yet to actually confirm the relationship, with fans putting two and two together after Saka and Tolami shared individual photos of themselves on a yacht in Dubai.But Tolami is a regular face at the Emirates and is often seen alongside the partner’s of Saka’s teammates Leandro Trossard, Martin Odegaard and Ben White.Before the start of the Euros, it was revealed that Tolami was the 10th richest Wag in the England squad.She has nearly 50,000 followers on social media platform Instagram.READ MORE SUN STORIESAnd Tolami banks a tasty £581 from each of her posts there.She is sure to continue bringing the great vibes to Euro 2024, with Saka set to remain an important part of Southgate’s XI throughout the tournament.EURO 2024 LIVE: KEEP UP TO DATE WITH ALL THE LATEST NEWS FROM GERMANYMeet England’s Euro 2024 Wags

    I’m England’s sexiest fan – I’ve got huge plans if we win Euro 2024… but my Premier League star admirer won’t like them

    ENGLAND’S sexiest football fan has huge plans if the Three Lions win Euro 2024 – but her secret Premier League star admirer might not like it.OnlyFans model and TikTok influencer Alexia Grace has promised to post a fully naked snap on X (formerly Twitter) if Gareth Southgate’s men lift the trophy on July 14.Alexia Grace has made a big promise if England win the EurosCredit: @itsalexiagrace/InstagramShe is hopeful favourite player Ollie Watkins gets some game timeCredit: @itsalexiagrace/InstagramAlexia, from Birmingham, makes £60,000 a month from her OnlyFans contentCredit: @itsalexiagrace/InstagramThe former Jet2 flight attendant launched her subscription modelling career during the pandemicCredit: @itsalexiagrace/InstagramThe 25-year-old former Jet2 flight attendant, from Birmingham, is heading out to Germany with a pal next week in a bid to make the most of the knockout stages of the tournament.She told The Sun the pair don’t have any match tickets but are hoping to snag some re-sells while “soaking up the atmosphere”.”We’re just going to stay out there for the duration and see. I’ve never watched an England game live,” said Alexia.Meanwhile, she’ll be touching down in Turkey for a mini break just hours before the Three Lions’ first game on Sunday, and will have to race to find somewhere to watch it.Read more sport newsAsked if there’s any players she’s most excited to see, Alexia said: “I’m just looking forward to seeing the whole team play.”I’m an Aston Villa fan but I’m more of a country fan, if that makes sense.”I’m more excited about actually watching the Euros. It’s more fun, everyone comes together.”However, she is hopeful Ollie Watkins gets some game time.Most read in Euro 2024The forward, 28, from Torquay, Devon, bagged 19 goals and racked up 13 assists last season, with Villa finishing fourth and snatching the final Champions League spot.”I love Ollie Watkins,” Alexia admitted.Astrid Wett releases England song for Euro 2024 with fellow OnlyFans star as fans say ‘why does it actually sound good?’She is not so fond, however, of homegrown star Jack Grealish, 28, who moved to Manchester City for £100 million in 2021 but was not named in Southgate’s squad for the Euros.“I see him as a bit of a traitor, to be honest,” she said laughing, before admitting she’d welcome him with open arms if he ever re-signed for the club.Alexia started her OnlyFans account during the Covid pandemic in 2020 and now earns an estimated £60,000 a month from posting racy snaps.The influencer also boasts 1.2 million followers on TikTok, having only opened her account last year.She’s previously spoken about obsessive fans, who have hounded her with messages, but said there’s a particular footballer who she doesn’t mind seeing drop into her DMs.”I’m not going to say who it is,” she teased, but said they are a current Premier League footballer.“They just messaged me off the back of my content, I post a lot of football content, and now I speak to them quite regularly.”How England are likely to line up against Serbia
    England kick off Euro 2024 against Serbia. But how are they likely to line-up?
    Key Man: Jude Bellingham
    Arguably the best player on the planet right now.
    His world class performances at Real Madrid give England the perfect platform to dominate big games.
    Likely line-up
    Southgate doesn’t experiment much, so the team is certain to play 4-2-3-1, with many of the players locked in.
    Stalwart defender John Stones is, however, a possible doubt after going down with a bug.
    To stop him from passing any germs onto team-mates, the 30-year-old has been confined to his room in quarantine.
    The only other real question marks are who plays at left-back, where Luke Shaw will play if fit or if not it will probably be Kieran Trippier.
    And alongside Declan Rice in midfield where Kobbie Mainoo and Trent Alexander-Arnold will be the main contenders, along with Conor Gallagher.
    Much will depend on just how daring Southgate decides to be.
    Prediction
    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.
    Progressing from the last 16 would set up a predicted 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.
    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. England will do well to equal their run to the final of Euro 2020.

    She went on to say: “When I started out I never really planned to do football [content], I just eventually started posting about it and it blew up.“I’ve always been a football fan since I was a kid, I used to go to the park with my mum and dad when I was younger. “I used to play with the lads when I was very young, but not anymore. I don’t think I could kick a ball for the life of me.”At the turn of the New Year, she left fans gobsmacked when she promised to post a fully nude snap on X if Villa had gone on to win the league.”I will do the same thing if England win,” she promised.I’m just looking forward to seeing the whole team play. I’m an Aston Villa fan, but I’m more of a country fan, if that makes sense. I’m more excited about actually watching the Euros. It’s more fun, everyone comes together.Alexia GraceEngland’s sexiest fanAsked what she would say to the players if she was in the dressing room prior to Sunday’s kick-off against Serbia, she said: “That I will be their biggest motivation.”Alexia may not be much of a footballer herself these days but she has made a bit of a splash with multiple bouts for KSI’s Misfits boxing platform.“I do a lot of influencer boxing so that’s what mainly put my name out there,” she explained.She made her debut last October against fellow OnlyFans model and Cheslea fan Astrid Wett in a bid to finally settle the pair’s beef with each other.“Me and Astrid were meant to fight on a different promotion but it never happened,” Alexia said. Serbia’s fiercest hooligan ‘Ivan the Terrible’By JOSH SAUNDERS
    GERMAN police are bracing themselves for violence at England’s Euro 2024 opener after claims that up to 500 Serbian hooligans could descend on the game.
    This Sunday’s clash, where 40,000 Three Lions supporters and up to 8,000 from Serbia are expected to attend, has been branded one of four “high-risk” ties by UEFA.
    It follows fears of an onslaught from Serbian ultras, including one notorious thug known as “Ivan the Terrible” and “the Beast of Genoa”. 
    Heavily-tattooed Ivan Bogdanov – who has been linked to far-Right paramilitaries – was jailed for starting a riot during a 2012 Euro qualifier, which led to the game being abandoned. 
    On that fateful night back in 2010, he was pictured sitting on a fence that separated Serbian supporters from their Italian hosts at the Genoa Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris stadium.
    Brazen Bogdanov, who wore a balaclava, had a pair of wire cutters in one hand, which had been used to slice open the barrier, and a flare in another.
    The game had to be abandoned after just six minutes due to Serbian thugs lobbing flares and launching fireworks both onto the pitch and towards Italian fans. 
    At the time, The Guardian reported that Bogdanov “kept urging other fans to take part in the violent act” and “did not seem to fear the police or care for the consequences”.
    The match had already been delayed by 40 minutes due to violent clashes with Italian police and later officials confirmed 17 arrests were made – all but one was Serbian.
    Bogdanov, who was among them, spent nearly three years between Italian and Serbian jails for his involvement in the violence, which injured 17, and other crimes.  
    A few months after the clash, he said: “That evening, the Serbian national team needed to be punished because they hadn’t been up to par for too long.
    “It had nothing to do with the game, it was a matter of attitude and respect towards people. I apologize to Genoa, I have nothing against Italy. If I don’t like something I say so.”

    After switching to Misfits she said promoters were impressed when they brought in hundreds of thousands of views.Most recently she fought Nikki Hru in April, and plans to fight again later in the summer – though doesn’t have a confirmed opponent.“I had no interest in boxing,” she admitted. “I only started boxing when I went on Misfits. I’d never put a pair of gloves on in my life until this.”But she’s found a talent for it.”You zone out, you almost become on autopilot,” she said of being in the ring. “I don’t know how to explain it, the adrenaline is so strong. “Everyone’s different, but I don’t feel it [getting punched]. Everyone says I’ve got a granite chin because I can take a hell of a punch. “I just don’t feel it when I’m in the ring. I do afterwards,” she added, laughing.READ MORE SUN STORIESBut is she scared boxing may eventually damage her modelling career?“If someone broke my nose I could afford to get it fixed,” she joked.The influencer boasts 1.2 million followers on TikTokCredit: @itsalexiagrace/InstagramThe life-long Aston Villa fan is hoping Ollie Watkins gets some game timeCredit: @itsalexiagrace/InstagramAlexia says a secret Premier League footballer has been messaging her latelyCredit: @itsalexiagrace/InstagramShe used to play football ‘with the lads’ in her youth, but is now just a supporterCredit: @itsalexiagrace/InstagramAlexia is jetting off to Turkey before heading to GermanyCredit: @itsalexiagrace/InstagramShe is confident England can win the tournament at long lastCredit: @itsalexiagrace/Instagram More
