Football News: England Struggle to Secure Euro 2024 Knockout Spot
In the latest update on the UEFA Euro 2024 tournament, England have yet to confirm their place in the knockout stages after failing to beat Denmark in their second group stage match. Gareth Southgate’s side drew 1-1 against the Danes, leaving their fate in the balance.
Qualification Scenarios
The top two teams in each group automatically qualify for the last 16, while the four best third-placed teams also advance. England’s best path to the knockout rounds would be a win in their final group game against Slovenia on Tuesday night, which would secure them the top spot in Group C.
A draw against Slovenia would also be enough for England to finish in the top two, provided Denmark fail to beat Serbia in their last match. However, if Southgate’s men lose to Slovenia and the Danes defeat Serbia, England would drop to third place in the group.
Importance of Goal Difference
While four points is likely to see the Three Lions progress as one of the best third-placed teams, it would mean a tougher draw in the round of 16. If England end up in third and need to be separated from other teams level on four points, it will come down to goal difference.
