Snooker ace Neil Robertson has now shared what England must do if they’re to win Euro 2024.
The Three Lions were abysmal during the 1-1 draw with Denmark – but they should now qualify for the last 16.
Robertson has got his 2024/25 campaign underway by winning his group in the Championship League to reach the latter stages.
However, he’s a keen football fan and he’s clearly been keeping tabs on the action from Germany – and England in particular.
Robertson is a keen Chelsea supporter and he won’t be happy that Cole Palmer is yet to get on the pitch at Euro 2024.
Asked earlier this week who he thought would win the tournament, Robertson delivered a sharp response on England.

Robertson has delivered an intriguing response when asked to pick his winning team for Euro 2024.
Gareth Southgate says he doesn’t follow the media too closely – and he certainly won’t want to hear the response from Robertson.
When asked on Instagram by the World Snooker Tour who would win Euro 2024, the 2010 World Champion said: “Think France/Germany. If England sack Southgate now they might have a chance.”
England need to adapt – much like Robertson
Last season was pretty disastrous for Robertson on a professional level.
He missed a number of tournaments and that meant he was forced to qualify for the World Championships.
The Aussie potter was beaten 10-9 by Jamie Jones in the final qualifying round and was forced to settle for pundit duties at The Crucible.
Now, he’s had to go back to the drawing board to get back to playing the right level of snooker to compete.
Interestingly that’s not too dissimilar to what England have to now do ahead of Tuesday’s final group game against Slovenia.
The Three Lions need a win to guarantee the top spot but a point might actually be good enough to ensure progressing as the group winners.
Robertson saying Southgate should be sacked might feel harsh.
However, after last night’s performance, he’s got a point and patience is now wearing thin with a nation that expects the current crop to produce the goods.
