After securing a valuable three points in their opener amidst a sputtering performance, Euro 2024 favorites England now look to lock down a place in the knockout stage as they meet Denmark in Group C play.
The Three Lions were poor on the whole but managed to see out a 1-0 victory over Serbia in their first match of the tournament. Still, the result coupled with poor performances in the pre-tournament friendlies, have some England fans worried about their viability as Euro title contenders.
England have a wealth of attacking talent, but it was Jude Bellingham’s 12th-minute goal that did the business, as the likes of Phil Foden and Harry Kane fell flat. The positives came from the back line as defender Marc Guehi impressed while helping hold Serbia to just a single shot on target.
Denmark opened with a disappointing 1-1 draw against Slovenia, as Christian Eriksen’s emotional early opener was eventually canceled out in the 77th minute. It leaves them desperate for points amid remaining matches against the competition favorites and then a physical and talented Serbia.
Denmark were also unconvincing in their first game and have been less than impressive in recent months overall.
The Three Lions have attacking issues to sort out, but so do their opponents, and talent will win out in this game.
