Football News Update: Euro 2024, Champions League, FIFA World Cup, and More
In a highly anticipated match, England and Denmark played out a 1-1 draw in their Euro 2024 fixture, leaving England closer to qualification for the last 16 but with plenty of room for improvement.
The Denmark supporters’ chant, “England, England, It’s Never Coming Home,” reverberated throughout the stadium, proving to be an understatement of the tournament so far. Gareth Southgate’s side struggled to find their rhythm, lacking the structure and progressive patterns that had been expected.
Harry Kane opened the scoring for England in the 18th minute, but Denmark’s Morten Hjulmand equalized with a stunning 30-yard strike just after the half-hour mark. The match was a tense affair, with both teams creating chances, but neither able to find the winning goal.
Southgate’s decision to withdraw his front three of Bukayo Saka, Harry Kane, and Phil Foden in the 70th minute raised eyebrows, although the substitutes, including Jarrod Bowen, Ollie Watkins, and Eberechi Eze, did bring something to the game.
