What’s happening with the England team? (Picture: Charles McQuillan – UEFA/UEFA via Getty Images)
In MetroTalk, the England matches have been so dull lately that even a TV commentator was waiting to switch to a soap opera. That’s not a good sign.
Is the squad suffering a lack of motivation? If so, what can Harry Kane do to fire them up? Can they still turn it around or are they done for?
Meanwhile, a reader shares their experience of spending 24 hours in A&E, where people were complaining of tummy aches, runny noses, and even drinking cans of lager. Not exactly the scene you expect when you’re finally given an emergency hospital bed, is it?

Do the England team lack motivation?

England are through to the last 16 of Euro ’24 by default, although I can’t see the team getting much further after that – particularly if they have to play someone half-decent.
If any of us were chosen to play for England in any sport, we would have driven ourselves into the ground in order to repay the honour.
As a kid I advanced from playing football in the street to playing in a local field without the owner knowing and the effort put in by everyone was incredible.
But this England team just seem to wander around aimlessly. I will credit them one thing – they don’t indulge in the deliberate push-me, pull-me football that is spoiling the Euros. When corners are taken the things that go on would see many up before a judge for molestation if they happened in civvy street.
Hollywood’s Tom Cruise, meanwhile, will be learning something about faking a serious injury and I have no doubt that Tom Daley is watching with interest and learning new diving techniques.
It is a shame Jack Grealish is not in the squad as he has a touch of artistry, a touch of the George Best about him.
I saw George in action playing for Manchester United at Villa Park. He danced through the lunging Villa defenders like a Strictly winner.
I am a touch depressed because I will be watching England not trying hard enough followed by our tennis players getting tantalisingly near success before being demolished in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for the Olympics, though, where we might pick up a medal or two. Roger Watts, Walsall
