A spot for winners in Group D awaits Czech Republic as they ironically welcome England at home this week in the Euros 2020. The match schedules for Tuesday at Wembley Stadium with kickoff at 10 pm.
Czech Republic picked up a controversial draw in their clash with Croatia while the Three Lions failed to move past the Tartan Army.
The first controversial VAR decision of the Euros 2020 undoubtedly goes for Dejan Lovren’s elbow that landed him a yellow card and penalty. Patrick Schick continued his incredible form to get his third goal of the tournament.
However, Ivan Perisic stepped up with a curled effort equalizing the penalty. Neither team could find the back of the net they both craved for the rest of the tournament. Moreover, Czech Republic is in a pole position to advance to the next stage depending on results from Tuesday.
On the other hand, it was a compelling rivalry that spurns years as England and Scotland locked horns. Many fans envisaged an easy win for the Three Lions, given the quad depth. However, Gareth Southgate put more pressure on himself after failing to breakthrough Scott’s defense.
However, the hopes of a last 16 finish for the Three Lions remain alive after their opening 1-0 victory over Croatia. Moreover, second-placed Three Lions need a draw to confirm their spot in the knockout stages.
