Euro 2024: After dramatic comeback win against Slovakia, England tipped to win tournament

Rio Ferdinand, former Manchester United defender has tipped England to win the ongoing Eurom2024 in Germany.

Ferdinand stated this in reaction to the Three Lions coming from behind to beat Slovakia and progress to the quarter-finals.

It would be recalled that the Three Lions  were seconds away from exiting the tournament following Ivan Schranz’s goal in the first half.

But Jude Bellingham equalized with a brilliant overhead kick in injury-time, before Harry Kane completed the turnaround in the first minute of extra-time.

“There comes a time in a tournament when you actually start believing you’re going to win it and I think this was the moment. I really do,” Ferdinand said on his YouTube channel.

“They’re through to the quarter-finals, on the best side of the draw, it’s written in the stars. It’s written! We’re going to win it.

“Maybe I’m getting carried away but I don’t care, I don’t give a monkey. I’m getting carried away because I’m an England fan, I’m emotional and I love it.”
