England 'lucky' to have one inclusion in best Euro 2024 XI as he's branded 'worst player'

England and Manchester City full-back Kyle Walker earned a place in the Euro 2024 Team of the Tournament – but many football fans feel he is undeserving of the accolade.

While still reeling from their defeat in Berlin on Sunday, Three Lions supporters learned on Tuesday that Gareth Southgate has now stepped down from his position as manager.

The Team of the Tournament features the likes of Spain stars Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams, but it's the Premier League champion's inclusion that conjured derision from supporters.

Posting on X one fan said: "Kyle Walker was lucky to even remain in England's starting line-up." While a second added: "Kyle Walker? He was England’s worst player of the tournament." A third fan was particularly brutal writing: "Kyle Walker, you got to be kidding me? He was the worst right-back of the #EURO2024."

One fan was diplomatic about the inclusion of Walker, but insisted
