England edged past Slovakia to reach the Euro 2024 quarter-finals, but only after staring a humiliating defeat in the face. England did get the ball in the net early in the second half, but Phil Foden’s effort was ruled offside. That gave Southgate’s team a lead that they defended successfully for the remainder of extra time to retain their place in the tournament… just.

☆ England produces stunning escape act to defeat Slovakia in extra time at Euro 2024 and reach quarterfinals
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-30 | by ( George Ramsay | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +1 min

CNN —An exquisite injury-time goal from Jude Bellingham handed England a dramatic lifeline in a 2-1 victory against Slovakia at Euro 2024. Harry Kane’s goal soon after completed the remarkable comeback and saved England from what would have been an embarrassing defeat. The Three Lions will now face Switzerland in the quarterfinals on July 6 and will need a much-improved performance in order to progress in the tournament. Schranz’s goal put Slovakia ahead midway through the first half at Gelsenkirchen’s Arena AufSchalke, and despite dominating possession from that point, England remained frustrated for much of the contest. Indeed, Bellingham’s acrobatic goal was the team’s first shot on target – a moment of magic in what was otherwise a lackluster performance.

But it is slightly unusual for people to talk as much about the ball as they have about the Adidas Fussballliebe Pro EURO 2024 match ball, to give it its full name, as they have in Germany of late. “I’ve not heard any goalkeeper complain about the ball, other than saying it’s a really, really quick ball, which is something you just deal with,” said the former Denmark and Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel, whose son Kasper is the current Danish No 1. “Normally, when you have a new ball, the opinions are divided but (goalkeepers) don’t think it’s a bad ball. But while this is all great fun — and even better advertising — “combined ball technology” is not actually new.

This was, for the most part, a dismal England performance, regardless of the supernatural deliverance at the end. Everything that was bad about today in Gelsenkirchen had been signposted by England over the course of the last few weeks. The red flags had all been there since England opened their campaign in this same city two weeks ago. And yes, England are desperately flawed, still unbalanced, still uncertain on the ball, still struggling to create chances even when they dominate possession. None of the lingering questions over this England team have been solved.

If Austria wanted to have any chance of qualifying to the round of 16 they had to beat Poland in their second group game. The wide areas were where Ukraine focused their attacks, and Oleksandr Zinchenko’s square pass to Mykola Shaparenko made it 1-1 in the second half. However, Samet Akaydin and Altay Bayindir’s mishap on the second goal decreased Turkey’s probability of a comeback. More off-ball runs in the second half led to the third, and by then the match was done and dusted.

Manchester City hoist the Club World Cup trophy in December 2023.

For the last three years, U.S. schools have been in an unusual position: They had lots of money to spend. The federal government invested $190 billion in pandemic aid for schools; the largest chunk, $122 billion, came in 2021 to help students recover. Altogether, it was the largest one-time federal investment in American education, but it came with a major question: Would it work? Two separate studies, released on Wednesday, suggest that the money helped, but not as much as it could have. “The money did contribute to the recovery,” said Thomas J. Kane, an economist at Harvard University, who helped lead one of the studies.

On Tuesday, England manager Gareth Southgate announced a 33-man squad which will be whittled down to 26 players for the continental tournament beginning on June 14 in Germany.
