IT WAS GREAT SHAKES IN THE FIRST-HALF BETWEEN DENMARK VS ENGLAND YESTERDAY, WITH HARRY KANE SCORING AN ABSOLUTE BEAUTY AT 18 MINS., AND THE DANISH TEAM PROVING JUST HOW FEISTY THEY WERE WITH AN UNEXPECTED LONG-RANGE GOAL FROM MORTEN HJULMAND AT 34 MINS. BUT IN THE SECOND-HALF ENGLAND LOOKED A LITTLE TIRED, AND ALTHOUGH THERE WERE A TOTAL OF 28 EXCITING FURTHER SHOTS DURING THE MATCH, WITH 12 SHOTS ON TARGET, (BETWEEN BOTH TEAMS), NOTHING ACTUALLY REACHED THE BACK OF THE NET. (BUT LOT’S OF ACTION TO FEAST YOUR EYE’S UPON NEVERTHELESS!) IT MUST BE HARD TO CONSISTENTLY PLAY AT THE TOP OF YOUR GAME, REST, TRAIN AND REPEAT! FATIGUE IS BOUND TO SET IN EVENTUALLY (NO MATTER HOW MUCH PICKLE JUICE ONE DRINKS!) BUT THERE IS STILL A LONG WAY TO GO – AND UNFORTUNATELY FOR THE ENGLAND TEAM, THE BRITISH ARE VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THEIR FOOTBALL, WHICH PUTS MUCH EXPECTATION ON THE SHOULDERS OF THESE YOUNG PLAYERS. BUT DON’T FORGET, IT WASN’T A LOSS, IT WAS A DRAW! AND ENGLAND ARE STILL AT THE TOP OF GROUP C! THERE ISN’T THAT LONG NOW UNTIL ENGLAND’S NEXT MATCH AGAINST SLOVENIA ON THE 25TH JUNE. GARETH WILL KNOW WHAT TO DO. DENMARK ARE TO PLAY SERBIA ON TUESDAY 25 JUNE AT 20.00.
EUROS 2024 – DENMARK VS ENGLAND – 20/06/2024
IT WAS A VERY LIVELY MATCH BETWEEN SPAIN VS ITALY, WITH 20 SHOTS, AND 9 SHOTS ON TARGET FOR AN EXTREMELY CREATIVE SPAIN, AND 4 SHOTS, WITH 1 SHOT ON TARGET FOR ITALY, WITH SPAIN LEADING 1 – 0 BY THE END OF THE MATCH DUE TO AN UNFORTUNATE OWN GOAL FROM ITALY’S RICCARDO CALAFIORI AT 55 MINS. THIS MEANS THAT SPAIN HAVE SECURED THEIR SPOT IN THE LAST 16 OF EURO’S 2024! NO DOUBT ITALY WILL BE WANTING TO BUY THEIR GOALY GIANLUIGI DONNARUMMA A COUPLE OF LIMONCELLO’S TODAY AFTER HIS SUPERB ‘NINJA-LIKE’ DEFENSE IN GOAL YESTERDAY! SPAIN WILL NOW GO ON TO PLAY ALBANIA ON MONDAY 24 JUNE AT 20.00, AND ITALY WILL PLAY CROATIA ON THE SAME DAY AT THE SAME TIME.
EUROS 2024 – SPAIN VS ITALY – 20/06/2024
THERE WAS LOT’S TO FEAST YOUR EYES ON ALSO IN THE MATCH BETWEEN SLOVENIA VS SERBIA, WITH A TOTAL OF 26 SHOTS, WITH 8 ON TARGET BETWEEN BOTH TEAMS, AND 527 PASSES FOR SERBIA, WITH A PASS ACCURACY OF 87%, AND 346 PASSES FOR SLOVENIA, WITH AN ACCURACY OF 77%. BUT IT WAS SLOVENIA’S ZAN KARNICNIK WHO SCORED THE FIRST GOAL AT 69 MINS., LEADING SLOVENIA TO BELIEVE THAT THEY HAD WON, ONLY FOR SERBIA’S LUKA JOVIC TO PIP THEM LATE INTO EXTRA TIME AT 90 +5 MINS. WITH A STUNNER, MEANING THAT THE MATCH CULMINATED IN A 1 – 1 DRAW! SERBIA WILL GO ON TO PLAY DENMARK ON TUESDAY 25 JUNE AT 20.00, AND SLOVENIA WILL PLAY ENGLAND ON THE SAME DAY AT THE SAME TIME. Â
