Ed Sheeran hosted a private concert for the England national team following their dramatic 2-1 victory over Slovakia in the Euro 2024 Round of 16. The concert, held at the team’s base camp in Blankenhain, was organized by manager Gareth Southgate to help the players unwind before their quarter-final match against Switzerland. Despite Sheeran's efforts to boost morale, some fans and players seemed less enthusiastic, with video footage showing players with deadpan expressions during the performance. Sheeran, a longtime supporter of England, has previously performed for the team and remains optimistic about their chances of winning the tournament. Southgate, while praising the team's resilience, acknowledged the need for improvement as they prepare for the next match.
