They defended well, but we could’ve done more to make the chances better.”England were left in a Catch-22 situation with France’s shock defeat to Ireland meaning any victory would have seen them top the group, and earn a valuable seeding for the Euro 2025 finals next summer
The first four legs Wade was good, and the last four legs,” said Sky Sports Darts’ Wayne Mardle.
“Full credit to Nathan because at 4-0 down it was looking dire. At 8-7, it was difficult to call. Wade’s doubling wasn’t majestic but his scoring was better in patches.
“James knows that type of form won’t win a tournament but it was good enough to win that game. Wade will beat anyone who’s slightly off and Aspinall was off.
Enzo Fernandez’s Chelsea team-mate Wesley Fofana has condemned the Argentina squad chanting about the France team, reposting the video with the words: “Football in 2024: uninhibited racism”; the French Football Federation says it will file a legal complaint; Fernandez has since apologised
Fernandez and some of his Argentina team-mates were chanting a derogatory song about the France team in an Instagram live video published on his account after they beat Colombia in the Copa America final on Sunday.
Wesley Fofana, Fernandez’s Chelsea team-mate, reposted the video on X, formerly known as Twitter, with the words: “Football in 2024: uninhibited racism”.
Fernandez later apologised on Instagram for posting the video and any offence its content may have caused.
“The song includes highly offensive language and there is absolutely no excuse for these words,” he said.
“I stand against discrimination in all forms and apologise for getting caught up in the euphoria of our Copa America celebrations.
“That video, that moment, those words, do not reflect my beliefs or my character.
“I am truly sorry.”
The French Football Federation has said it will file a legal complaint alleging “racially offensive and discriminatory remarks” were made by Argentina players.
In a statement, the FFF – the governing body of French football – said its president Philippe Diallo would challenge FIFA president Gianni Infantino and Argentina Football Association boss Claudio Fabian Tapia to respond to the alleged remarks
