Denmark v England - Thu 20th June, 17:00 | Euro 2024 Group C

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 17:00 (BST). Coverage starts at 16:00 on BBC1. Being played in Frankfurt.



Hardly a surprise but I wasn't impressed with England in the opener. Good result but a sub-par performance. We can't concede possession that easily and expect to go far in this tournament, the players have to be braver and play with the ball. Too many players in the wrong positions. Defend through possession. I'm not sure anyone outside of the back 4 had a good 90minutes in the opener. Those 4 at least limited the chances Serbia got.

Denmark will be a tricky opponent, I'm surprised they didn't beat Slovenia but they did create a few chances. Historically we have tended to get the better of them in tournaments. They'll still fancy themselves to go through.

Pretty much every team from Germany to Georgia is managing to get up the pitch quickly in 6 or 7 passes, it's the way of football now, apart from England (and Belgium).

Keeping control of the ball and using it to get forward with purpose is what England need to work on in these two games.

Does victory guarantee 1st?

Will be the same team but I'd like to see Alexander Arnold dropped.

Phil to score in a very comfortable England win.

Edited : Phil to score a 30 yard banger into the top corner and then the pundits and press to praise st jude for passing the ball 3 yards to the side for him.

If only there was an English player in the squad, who is capable of taking the ball high up the pitch and helping us control the game?

And imagine if said player was then able to link up with Foden on the inside left channel...

Should be a fairly comfortable England win.

No way comfortable but fancy us for the win, c'mon England!
