England secured top spot in Group C with a goalless draw against Slovenia on Tuesday, but questions linger about their performance and status as Euro 2024 favorites. In the other match, Denmark and Serbia also drew 0-0, with Denmark finishing second in the group. However, Slovenia's squad celebrated their historic qualification for the European Championship knockouts as one of the four best third-placed teams.

Despite enjoying 71% possession, England failed to silence the criticism following their lackluster display against Denmark. The team struggled to create significant scoring opportunities and faced boos from disappointed fans at the end of the match. Gareth Southgate's side did show signs of improvement in the second half, especially after the introductions of Kobbie Mainoo and Cole Palmer. However, they failed to truly threaten Atlético Madrid keeper Jan Oblak.
