England’s Euro 2024 hopefuls have one last opportunity to impress Gareth Southgate on Friday evening, as they host Euro 2016 conquerors Iceland at Wembley for a friendly match and their final warm-up fixture.
The Three Lions struggled initially but eventually secured a 3-0 win against Bosnia-Herzegovina on Monday. In contrast, Iceland has been idle since their Euro 2024 dreams were crushed by Ukraine in March.
For the first hour of England’s clash with Bosnia at St James’ Park, the North East crowd had little to cheer about. Southgate’s experimental lineup struggled offensively, while Bosnia’s defense remained resolute.
