Top places to watch football coming home
Posted on: 11 Jul 2024Catch all the action this summer at one of Bristol's various top-notch venues as Gareth Southgate's Three Lions take on Spain's La Roja in an epic finale that has Britons on the edge of their seats.
In a result that is perhaps suprising even to their most diehard fans, England beat The Netherlands 2-1 last night after a nail-biting final in which young star Ollie Watkins secured victory in the 90th minute. Now, with that success under their belt, the Three Lions are headed into an epic showdown with Spain for the title of Euros 2024 champions.
This might be England's first chance to win a trophy since their famous World Cup win in 1966 - an astonishing 58 years! The Three Lions squad boasts such stars as Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham, Premier League Player of the Season Phil Foden and, of course, all-time England goalscorer, Harry Kane.
Fans aren't celebrating yet, however - after falling at the final hurdle at Euro 2020, the English team have burned fans before - but around the country, they're all daring to hope.
Here in Bristol is no different - the Bristolian chapter of England fans are just as ready to cheer on their team to victory as the rest of the country. They're lucky too, living in a city that has some of the best places to watch the historic match: offering everything from hidden gem watering holes, trendy breweries and football stadiums - with Ashton Gate's 2016 screening of England v Wales becoming a global meme (see below)!
