England manager Gareth Southgate is using relentless ridicule, hurtful personal criticism and the beer cups thrown his way as fuel in his attempt to lead his squad to Euro 2024 glory.
Among the favourites to go all the way in Germany, the Euro 2020 runners-up are now just one victory away from becoming the first English men’s team to reach a major final on foreign soil.
Saturday’s penalty shoot-out triumph over Switzerland secured a third semi-final in four tournaments under Southgate, who has dealt with intense scrutiny and criticism this summer.
Supporters made their anger known after Group C draws against Denmark and Slovenia, with beer cups even thrown at the manager after the latter stalemate.
