Euro 2024: England Frustrated After Draw Against Denmark
21 June, 2024

England manager Gareth Southgate admitted that the team is "falling short" after their draw against Denmark in last night's Euro 2024 match.

Despite an early goal from Harry Kane, Denmark managed to equalize shortly thereafter.

This result means that England has not yet secured a spot in the Euro 2024 knockout stages and missed the opportunity to qualify as Group C winners.

Former England captain Alan Shearer criticized the performance, calling it "very poor" and stating "it wasn't good enough."

Match Summary

England had a promising start with Harry Kane scoring the first goal 18 minutes into the game. However, Denmark dominated much of the match and equalized 17 minutes later with a 25-yard strike from Morten Hjulmand.

Phil Foden hit the post in the second half, but the match ended in frustration for England and their fans, with some booing the team at the end.

England still tops Group C with a win against Serbia in their first game. They only need a draw against Slovenia to guarantee qualification for the last 16 knockout rounds.

Reactions to the England Team

Former England captain and Match of the Day pundit Alan Shearer said the team showed "no energy" and that "there is so much more to come from those players out there," describing the performance as "concerning." He also noted that Southgate is "not getting the best out of England's best players."

Gareth Southgate acknowledged that the team kept giving away possession and emphasized the need for improvement if England wants to progress to the next stages of the tournament. England finished as runners-up in Euro 2020.

England captain Harry Kane admitted the team "hadn't been good enough" on the ball and stressed the importance of staying calm and improving.
