Euro 2024 day seven: England eye early qualification

England will attempt to join hosts Germany in the last 16 at Euro 2024 when they face Denmark in Frankfurt on Thursday.

Gareth Southgate’s side top Group C after Sunday’s 1-0 win over Serbia and know another three points would seal their progression.

Elsewhere, Serbia face Slovenia in the other game in England’s pool, while Spain battle it out with reigning champions Italy in Group B.

In Wednesday’s action, Germany secured their progression with victory over Hungary, while Scotland boosted their hopes of qualifying from the group stage with a 1-1 draw against Switzerland while Albania struck late to deny Croatia victory.

Here, we have a look at day seven of Euro 2024.

England boss Southgate has urged his players to ignore the noise surrounding their performance against the Serbs amid an ongoing debate over his team selection and tactics.

He said: “There’s more noise around a national team than there ever is around a club team.

“Millions of people in your own country, extensive media coverage, social media … One guy writing a comment on social media gets put in a newspaper now, that’s a story, so it’s a different world.

“Personally I accept that’s how it is. It is not going to affect what I do. My job is to keep the players on track.”
