Jordan Pickford feared England could be on the wrong end of another VAR decision to dump them out of Euro 2024.

Phil Foden thought he had levelled the game up shortly into the second half against Slovakia from close range, but he was adjudged to be offside having gone too early when meeting Kieran Trippier 's low cross.
And it was Foden who was also ruled to be offside in the 0-0 draw with Slovenia in England's final Group C match, where he latched onto Declan Rice 's pass before squaring for Bukayo Saka .
