England’s Euro 2024 campaign hit another bump as they labored to a 1-1 draw with Denmark in Frankfurt, leaving fans and critics alike questioning their title credentials. Despite topping Group C, the Three Lions’ performance felt more like a 🎢 rollercoaster ride than a smooth path to glory.
Captain Harry Kane opened the scoring in the 18th minute—his third goal of the tournament—but defensive errors haunted England again. Denmark’s Morten Hjulmand capitalized on a misplaced pass from Kane, unleashing a 25-yard rocket to equalize. 🚀
Coach Gareth Southgate didn’t hold back, calling the team’s disjointed display ‘my responsibility’ as fans jeered during a tense second half. ‘We’re in the environment of winning on the biggest stage,’ he said, acknowledging the pressure cooker of expectations.
While England remain unbeaten and likely to advance, their pattern of shaky second games continues. Since 2018, they’ve struggled to dominate back-to-back tournament matches—a trend that’s now spanned three Euros and two World Cups.
Can Southgate’s squad level up before the knockout rounds? Critics say they’ll need more than individual brilliance to bring football ‘home.’ 🏴⚡
