England missed a crucial opportunity to secure their spot in the Euro 2024 knockout stages as Group C winners, settling for a disappointing draw against Denmark in Frankfurt.
Harry Kane’s early goal offered a promising start, but England’s performance quickly deteriorated, allowing Denmark to dominate and equalise through Morten Hjulmand’s powerful strike. Despite Phil Foden hitting the post, England’s disorganised display left them grateful for the point, and manager Gareth Southgate’s four early substitutions underscored the team’s struggles.
Fans expressed their frustration with loud jeering, highlighting England’s disarray, especially in midfield where Christian Eriksen outplayed Declan Rice and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Jude Bellingham, usually a key player, looked fatigued and unable to make a difference.
The failed midfield experiment with Alexander-Arnold further exposed England’s vulnerabilities. Southgate’s reshuffles and the unimpressive performance against Denmark raised doubts about England’s ability to make a serious impact in the tournament, calling for urgent improvements before facing Slovenia.
