          <description><![CDATA[Vargas stuns Donnarumma with a wonder goal in the second half, putting Switzerland ahead against Italy in the Euro 2024 knockout stage. The match hangs in the balance after Italy's first-half dominance. <p>The Olympic Stadium in Berlin witnessed a real goal by <strong>Rubén Vargas</strong> that put <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/switzerland">Switzerland</a></strong> ahead in their crucial match against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/italy"><strong>Italy</strong></a><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/euro"> in the round of 16 of </a><strong>Euro</strong> <strong>2024</strong>. Just at the start of the second half, in the 46th minute, the Swiss winger silenced Italian goalkeeper <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/gianluigi-donnarumma">Gianluigi Donnarumma</a></strong> with a high-quality finish.</p>



<p>After a first half where <strong>Italy</strong> dominated possession of the ball but failed to convert their chances, <strong>Switzerland</strong> came out with energy in the second half looking for the goal that would give them the lead. And it didn’t take long for them to find it. In the 46th minute, <strong>Remo Freuler</strong> recovered a ball in the middle of the field and threw a precise through ball to the left, where <strong>Vargas</strong> waited stealthily.</p>



<p>The speedy Swiss player controlled the ball masterfully and, with a quick change of direction, broke away from his marker and faced the Italian goal. Before <strong>Donnarumma’s exit</strong>, Vargas did not flinch and with a powerful low left-footed shot sent the ball into the top corner of the goal, impossible for the Italian goalkeeper to reach.</p>

          <description><![CDATA[The Manchester United forward was left off of the England squad for the Euro Cup. <p><strong>Marcus Rashford</strong>‘s absence from England manager Gareth Southgate’s preliminary squad for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/uefa-euro-2024" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Euro 2024</a>, announced in late May, raises eyebrows among fans and pundits alike. Rashford’s exclusion indicates that the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/manchester-united" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Manchester United</a> forward is currently not at the forefront of Southgate’s considerations.</p>



<p><br>Since making his <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/england" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">England</a> debut under Roy Hodgson in 2016, Marcus Rashford has become a prominent figure in the national team setup. However, despite accumulating 60 caps, the 26-year-old’s omission from Southgate’s preliminary picks is a surprising turn of events. Rashford has been a consistent presence in England’s squads for the past four major tournaments, making his exclusion from the Euro 2024 squad all the more noteworthy.<br></p>



<p>With speculation swirling around the reasons behind Marcus Rashford’s absence from Gareth Southgate’s initial Euro 2024 squad, fans eagerly await Southgate’s  reasons for leaving him off. As the tournament draws closer, the spotlight intensifies on the decisions made by the England manager, with Rashford’s omission serving as a focal point of discussion and debate within football circles.</p>

          <description><![CDATA[Manchester United’s Harry Maguire left for Turkey to ease the pain of being left off of the England squad. <p>Although<strong> Harry Maguire</strong> may not have been thrilled about being omitted from Gareth Southgate’s <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/england" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">England</a> </strong>squad, instead of dwelling on it, the Manchester United defender opted for some much-needed vacation time. </p>



<p>After a challenging season with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/manchester-united" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Manchester United</a> that concluded on a positive note, Maguire had hoped for a call-up to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/uefa-euro-2024" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">2024 Euros</a>. When that didn’t materialize, he headed to Turkey to enjoy some leisure time with friends at a luxurious five-star hotel.</p>



<p>Maguire was captured in photographs soaking up the sun and enjoying a beer on the coast of Belek at a hotel that costs around $8,000 per night. His absence from the squad was attributed to rehabbing a minor calf injury, and he shared on social media, <strong><em>“Despite my best efforts, I have not been able to overcome an injury to my calf. Maybe I pushed myself too hard, trying to make it.”</em></strong></p>

          <description><![CDATA[The Bayern Munich midfielder was left off of Germany’s 2024 Euro squad. <p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/germany" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Germany</a></strong> finds themselves in Group A alongside Scotland, Hungary, and Switzerland in the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/uefa-euro-2024" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Euro 2024</a> tournament. It’s an accesible group for Julian Nagelsmann, who aims to secure Germany’s fourth European Cup. </p>

          <description><![CDATA[UEFA has decided to implement a new rule to facilitate communication on the pitch between teams and referees. <p>Ahead of the upcoming <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/uefa-euro-2024" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">European Championship</a>, <strong>UEFA</strong>‘s managing director of refereeing Roberto Rosetti has announced a significant change in communication protocol on the field. Captains will be the sole players permitted to engage with the referee and discuss decisions during matches. This adjustment aims to streamline communication and minimize confusion on the pitch.</p>



<p>Under this new directive, any player other than the designated captain who approaches the referee displaying disrespect or dissent will face disciplinary action, resulting in a yellow card, as emphasized by Rosetti. </p>



<p>This measure underscores <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/uefa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">UEFA</a>‘s commitment to upholding respect and sportsmanship in football.</p>



<h2>UEFA to allow dialogue between captains and referees </h2>



<p>In an open letter released on Tuesday, Rosetti highlighted the challenges faced by referees in modern football. With referees making between 200 to 250 decisions per match, often in contentious circumstances and under immense pressure, clear communication becomes paramount. </p>

<p>The advent of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology adds another layer of complexity, with referees expected to interpret and explain decisions amidst heightened scrutiny.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/28075605/Miguel-Ortiz-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Referee, Miguel Oritz shows a yellow card to Samu Costa of RCD Mallorca (not pictured) during the LaLiga EA Sports match between Valencia CF and RCD Mallorca at Estadio Mestalla on March 30, 2024 in Valencia, Spain." class="wp-image-116741" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Referee, Miguel Oritz shows a yellow card to Samu Costa of RCD Mallorca (not pictured) during the LaLiga EA Sports match between Valencia CF and RCD Mallorca at Estadio Mestalla on March 30, 2024 in Valencia, Spain.</figcaption></figure>



<p>Acknowledging the necessity for greater transparency, Rosetti emphasized UEFA’s readiness to engage with players and coaches, providing insights into decision-making processes. Coaches and players have reportedly embraced this collaborative approach, recognizing its potential to enhance understanding and mitigate conflicts on the field.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/28072633/The-official-logo-of-the-European-Championship-1996-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-132094" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>The official logo of the European Championship 1996 – IMAGO / Sven Simon</figcaption></figure>

          <description><![CDATA[With UEFA Euro 2024 drawing nearer, the Pole national team confirmed Robert Lewandowski will not play against the Netherlands on Matchday 1. <p><strong>Poland</strong> had some bad news to share a few days before their <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/uefa-euro">UEFA Euro 2024</a></strong> debut. On Tuesday, the team confirmed <strong>Robert Lewandowski will miss the opening match against the Netherlands</strong> due to injury.</p>



<p>Following the friendly win over Turkey on Monday, team doctor Jacek Jaroszewski claimed in his medical report that the FC Barcelona striker <strong>will not be available for selection on Sunday, June 16:</strong></p>



<p>“<em>Robert Lewandowski <strong>suffered a torn biceps femoris muscle</strong>, which will exclude him from participating in the first match of the tournament. <strong>We are doing everything so that Robert can play in the second match</strong>, against Austria”.</em></p>



<p>The idea is the 35-year-old can make it to the Matchday 2 fixture <strong>against Austria</strong>, scheduled for Friday, June 21. Four days later, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/poland">Poland</a> will play France in the group stage finale.</p>

<h2>Lewandowski not the only injured during Poland’s win over Turkey</h2>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/robert-lewandowski">Lewandowski</a> set off the alarms <strong>only 31 minutes</strong> into the friendly against Turkey, asking to be subbed off as he looked in pain with a muscle injury. Unfortunately, backup striker <strong>Arkadiusz Milik got injured in the previous friendly</strong> and has already been ruled out for the Euros.</p>



<p>But to make things worse, <strong>Swiderski</strong> picked up an injury in strange fashion as he <strong>got hurt while celebrating</strong> Poland’s first goal against Turkey only 12 minutes into the match, following an assist by Lewandowski.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="736" height="583" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/28072655/image-6-736x583.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-131974" sizes="(max-width: 736px) 100vw, 736px"></figure></div></figure>



<p>This puts coach Michal Probierz in a very tough spot ahead of Euro 2024, with the Pole national team manager <strong>missing three forwards for the debut</strong> against the Netherlands.</p>
