Matchday 1 of Euro 2024 Fantasy continues in Frankfurt, as Belgium start their campaign against Slovakia.

Romelu Lukaku was the top goalscorer in qualifying and he is unsurprisingly part of head coach Domenico Tedesco’s starting XI.

Wout Faes, Kevin De Bruyne, Leandro Trossard and Jeremy Doku also feature for the Red Devils, but Maxim De Cuyper has to settle for a place on the bench.

Instead, Yannick Carrasco starts at left-back, with Koen Casteels preferred to Matz Sels in goal, as expected.

As for Slovakia, the 2%-owned Adam Obert is their most-selected player, but he’s only named among the substitutes.

Martin Dubravka, Milan Skriniar and David Hancko are some of the familiar faces in action, however.

Kick-off is at 17:00 BST.

      Apparently he scored 17 goals in his last 11 belgium games.

    No assist

    Dimarco (c) assist for Barella.
    No assist

    Lukaku (c) scores from 3 yards out.

    Serious question. Who would you rather have in your team if you were a manager Darloss or Donkaku?

  26. Johnjo

    Winner of Englands group could end up playing 3rd from Group E.

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      So eng vs belgium then

      1. Johnjo
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Yes could be, the way this groups going.

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      this group looks the weakest so far, England lucked out with the draw again

      1. Johnjo
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Well it could be 3rd place from D, E or F so numerous possibilities. But wouldn't fancy Belgium despite today's performance.

  27. F4L
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    people like less added time but just means time wasting like that is rewarded
