England was held in check by Slovenia (0-0), Denmark and Serbia did not offer a better show (0-0).
TOPS
Holjund weighed in
An exquisite profile for Denmark. The tall Manchester United striker did well in the Danish offensive build-up. He caught the attention of the Serbian central defenders, who gave a lot of freedom to the other attackers (Eriksen and Wind). When the Danes managed to find him, he was rather selfless, serving his partners better placed and dangerous during his attempts. His first header was victorious but Eriksen’s corner went off the pitch before coming back into play. His other attempt with his left foot was stopped by an excellent Rajkovic. Less visible after the break, Holjund was replaced by Dolberg (58th).
Nothing happens with Rajkovic
He was the only Serbian player at the level on Tuesday evening against Denmark (0-0). The former Stade de Reims goalkeeper, now exiled in Mallorca, left his team in the match by making several saves against attempts by Hojlund and Eriksen. However, despite their remarkable match, Serbia left the competition, lacking ideas, inspiration and real enthusiasm to beat a calm Denmark. However, the Serbs had a prestigious supporter. The country’s idol Novak Djokovic made the trip to Munich to support his family. Obviously, Novak’s character traits on a tennis court have not been transmitted to the Serbian football players who are leaving the competition through the back door.

FLOPS
England and its disappointing stars
If this start of the Euro is not very happy for the France team, it is not any more so for England. THE Three Lions string together difficult performances with a cruel lack of leadership. If Bellingham led the way by scoring against Serbia (0-1) in the first match, he was less prominent against the Danes (1-1), but also, on Tuesday evening, against Slovenia (0-0). Tipped as a future Ballon d’Or winner, the Real Madrid midfielder lacked weight in midfield, as did Phil Foden on his left side and Harry Kane in the box. They will have to wake up for the final stages or England will continue their drought. They have not won a major trophy since 1966.
Two insipid matches
We are having the worst evening since the start of the Euro. 90 minutes wasted as a spectator or viewer. The two Group C matches were well below all. England, as we have said, could not count on anyone to get rid of a Slovenia that was well established and aggressive enough to keep the English away from Oblak’s cages. In the other match, Denmark tried things in the first half against Serbia before gradually falling asleep as the minutes passed. Two matches, two draws. A very real expression to define this evening in the company of the four teams from Group C.
