You guys are complaining about your commentators but who's BeInSports on ? The pair there (male and female) will put you to sleep with their monotone voices

Alan Shearer trying his best to describe Kane's finish as the greatest strike ever!

Its like watching united.

Score a goal, leave the midfield open and invite them back into the game.

trent Alexander Arnold has the positional sense of a small scone.
I'm not sure about these coaches; perhaps they know something I don’t. England is missing a crucial element of modern football—a midfield capable of retaining and passing the ball effectively. Yet, Southgate slots Trent in midfield, where he has seldom played. Agreed, it's like watching Manchester United—built for counter-attacks but not for taking the game to the opposition.

I have no idea either, yet.
I feel like I've been training for this match all season. Watching in the hope that the team in red proves all your instincts wrong and scores.

Quite bad how we no longer have any first teamers in the England team.
If Mainoo isn’t a one season wonder he should end up as a mainstay in the not too distant future.

I think England miss Sterling more than anybody.

His ability to run in behind and dive for pens really got the best out of Kane.

I just dont know what to make of england performance. They never look impressive despite having so much talent on display.

Weird feeling this. I do want England to win I think... But I don't like many of the England players and I really like Eriksen and Hojlund so kind of want them to score...

Rice, Arnold and Bellingham. What do people expect. Just normal. It was same against Serbia. Zero control.
If England keeping scraping these wins with this midfield, the less likely he will change it for the knock out stages.

Denmark are rather terrible. England should just put another 2 past them and put this to bed.

Denmark seem so passive despite getting decent positions
Denmark just no longer have those few world class players who can make difference in attack.

Why do England refuse to attack when they are ahead? Bizarre strategy.

Yeah, they seriously lack conviction, like they’re not expecting to get anything today. A team with real belief and in-form attacking players would punish this England set-up. Denmark are letting England get away with some pretty lackadaisical play in midfield and defence.

England are lucky Hojlund is seriously mediocre. Other striker would have taken a shot on that Eriksen pass.

Trent looks like a confused, non-entity in midfield.

England scored, but they need to be better than this; it’s so awkward looking
