England fans are calling for Gareth Southgate to include Chelsea icon Joe Cole in the Euro 2024 squad after his impressive performance in Soccer Aid 2024. The 42-year-old nutmegged his former teammate Petr Cech within eight minutes, putting England 1-0 up. Cole chested the ball down before brilliantly volleying it through the legendary goalkeeper’s legs.

Captain Jill Scott, Arsenal coach Jack Wilshere, and Jarrod Bowen’s father-in-law Danny Dyer joined Cole in celebrating the goal. Fans on social media urged Southgate to add Cole to the Euro 2024 squad. One fan wrote, “Get Cole on the plane!” while another added, “JOE COLE GET YOURSELF TO THE EUROS.”

However, the lead was short-lived as Eden Hazard equalized with a low direct free-kick ten minutes later. Alessandro Del Piero then put the World XI ahead. Despite this, England, managed by Frank Lampard and Robbie Williams, eventually secured a 6-3 victory. Steven Bartlett, a Dragons’ Den star, shone as a super-sub, scoring twice to help seal the win.
