Euro 2024 England v Slovakia

Me and Joe flew over to Germany this weekend to see England play in Euro 2024.  The night before the England game Germany were playing Denmark.  We went to the fan zone near the Dortmund stadium.

There was a bit lightning storm so we we found a bar and watched the Germany game with Germans and Belgiums...

The next day we went to Gelsenkirchen (Shalke's stadium) for the England v Slovakia game.

The stadium with the game underway.

Slovakia were leading until the 95th minute, when Bellingham scored an overhead kick to make it 1v1.
