Goal-shy Danes head home leaving Hjulmand with questions to answer

Copa America: No Lionel Messi, No Problem As Argentina Down Peru; Canada Advance
Argentina shrugged off the injury absence of Lionel Messi to maintain their perfect start at the Copa America on Saturday with a 2-0 victory over Peru in Miami. Lautaro Martinez scored twice at the Hard Rock Stadium to seal a win that ensured Argentina advance to the quarter-finals as Group A winners.

Germany Weather Storm To Reach Euro 2024 Quarter-Finals
A Kai Havertz penalty and a Jamal Musiala strike gave Germany a 2-0 win over Denmark on Saturday as the host nation reached the Euro 2024 quarter-finals after a dramatic game that was delayed by almost half an hour in the first half due to a violent storm.

Italy And Luciano Spalletti At Crossroads After Euros Title Defence Disaster
Italy are once again staring into the footballing abyss after Saturday's humbling exit from Euro 2024 at the hands of Switzerland, the defence of their continental title ending in embarrassing fashion. A shockingly one-sided tie in Berlin, where Italy won the 2006 World Cup, led to a dismal last-16 exit after Luciano Spalletti's side had scraped through the group stage by the skin of their teeth. Saturday's limp defeat was one of the lowest points in the history of the four-time world champions and reigning kings of Europe, and the latest in a worryingly large number of recent humiliations, including missing out on the last two World Cups.
Stage Set For Slovenia's Benjamin Sesko In Euros Last-16 Clash With Portugal
Slovenia come into their Euro 2024 last-16 match-up with Portugal on Monday knowing they have already achieved their best-ever Euros result -- and all without a goal contribution from star striker Benjamin Sesko. With no goals in three matches so far in Germany, the RB Leipzig striker is due to find the back of the net based on his form this season.
