Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Filip Kostic yelling at Jude Bellingham after he shoulder bumped him during Euro 2024 match.
Jude Bellingham and Marc Guehi were the standout players for England, as the Three Lions opened their Euro 2024 campaign with a 1-0 success over Serbia on Sunday night.
The only goal of the match came in the 13th minute, with Bellingham’s thumping header from a deflected Bukayo Saka cross ending up in the back of the net.
Serbia had their moments and can be pleased with their response to the early setback, but Dragan Stojkovic’s side did find it difficult to carve out clear opportunities in their Group C opener.
There were worries, there were serious concerns, they were hanging on at times, they struggled by the end, it was not wholly convincing and there needs to be more than this if England are to go all the way. Fitness seems a real issue as we and Southgate feared. But Bellingham did his bit. And more. And yet, they cannot just rely on him.
But, with it, England suddenly command Group C. The score draw earlier between Denmark and Slovenia played into their hands as they go two points clear at the top after the first round of fixtures. It also means that for only the second time in 10 attempts England have won their opening game at a European Championship. The only other occasion was in the last tournament – also under Gareth Southgate. And that was at Wembley. They have never done it overseas. So, consider that in the analysis.
