England’s first two games of the 2024 European Championship in Germany will be broadcast by the BBC, it has been revealed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gareth Southgate’s side have been drawn in a relatively straight-forward Group C for the competition, alongside Denmark, Slovenia and Serbia, as they look to go one better than Euro 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n
England reached the final at Wembley, with Luke Shaw handing the home side an early lead, only for Italy to come back and win it on penalties following Leonardo Bonucci’s second half equaliser.<\/p>\n
Manager Southgate was in attendance at the draw in Hamburg, but remained tight-lipped on his side’s prospects, yet he will surely be confident of his side’s chances of progression to the next round.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018We\u2019re third in the world rankings this week, we\u2019ve been in the top five for five years so consistently they\u2019ve produced performances,\u2019 said Southgate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Gareth Southgate’s side have been drawn in a relatively easy group with Denmark, Serbia and Slovenia<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It’s good news for England who have a far better record when their games are shown on one broadcaster over the other historically\u00a0<\/p>\n
