Mysterious British Men Gather for a Raucous Whistling Performance
The English soccer team secures another point at the EURO. The match against the Danes is expected to be as unremarkable as the previous one against the Serbians, with Gareth Southgate's team showing signs of complacency early on.
Harry Kane (18') scores the opening goal, but Morten Hjulmand (34') equalizes before the break, deservedly so. England leads Group C with four points, but they've yet to secure the dream start with two wins - a feat they've never accomplished in a EURO.
On Tuesday (9 pm), England faces Slovenia in a match that should be a mere formality. Denmark, who started with two losses, need to secure more points against longshot Serbia to clinch a spot in the knockout stage.
A peaceful atmosphere despite risky play
Royalty was present at the Frankfurt EURO Arena, with both British Prince William (also President of the Football Association FA) and Danish King Frederik X. in attendance. The game was classified as a high-risk match, but initially, everything remained peaceful. Frankfurt, known as "Zombieland" by British tabloid "The Sun", was under English control from early morning. Over 50,000 British fans turned the city into a party zone, while 25,000 Danish fans marched through the city as a fan march from the Opernplatz.
The match began under a closed roof, evenly balanced. The English team's play was static, but a moment of lapse from Victor Kristiansen allowed Kane to score from close range. He celebrated by throwing kisses towards his wife Kate and their four children.
In the following, England retreated once again, playing the defensive football that Gareth Southgate is often criticized for. Denmark kept the ball moving, but struggled to create chances. Most attempts were long-range shots. Jonas Wind's corner kick went in (32%), Hjulmand's shot from 28 meters hit the inside post.
England wavers until the final whistle
After the substitutions, England stepped up their offensive play. Bukayo Saka headed the ball towards the outside netting over the advancing Kasper Schmeichel (53%), then Phil Foden hit the post from a distance (56%). The Danes rarely mounted dangerous attacks, Mikkel Damsgaard testing Jordan Pickford from a distance (68%).
Southgate substituted Kane during a triple change, with Ollie Watkins failing to beat Schmeichel (71). On the opposing side, both Andreas Christensen (84) and Pierre-Emile Höjberg (85) came close but failed to take the lead for Denmark. The boos from the Danish crowd grew louder, with the English fanbase far from satisfied.
