Full time 

Croatia 1 Italy 1

With just a minute to go Croatia were through to the last 16, then Italy get a fantastic goal in the last minute of injury time, so Italy go through and Croatia have to wait to see if the can qualify by a best third place finish.

Spain qualify as leaders of the group.

Italy are second and qualify.

Croatia have to wait.

Albania finish bottom

It's good for England fans. Even the Dutch are inconsistent, but this is one of their most disappointing performances. Credit to Austria; they have been decent.

Poland score from a twice taken penalty after VAR check 

Netherlands score as VAR overturns a handball decision by the Ref which disallowed the Netherlands 2nd goal

Not a good start by England, still not much press from them. England passing it around at the back. Slow build up.

Saka had the ball in the net but it was a clear offside.

Half Time

England 0 Slovenia 0

The less we say about England the better. Same old tactics. No running off the ball, defenders passing it around at the back, the press is non existent.

Not inspiring at all. Will we see something different in the second half?

Full time

England 0 Slovenia 0

Denmark 0 Serbia 0

England win the group 

Denmark are second

Slovenia are third

Serbia are last.

The Two top sides  qualify.

Slovenia has qualified too.

Nothing else to say here.

Improvement needed

England’s performance was better, but there’s still room for improvement. They didn’t create enough opportunities. Gareth Southgate should have made changes more quickly. Cole Palmer was impressive!

The game was a free hit. Qualification was already secured so I don't get why Southgate didn't try out some of the players who haven't had any game time yet. It's going to be hard to bring them in for a pure knockout game now. Wharton has been outstanding for Palace this season, could have had him next to Rice or even Mainoo who was impressive when coming on. Watkins could have been given a chance to show what he can do. Gordon should have got a start on the left with Palmer on the right, he showed how good he is when he came on. Konsa was good in the friendlies could have been given game time. It was a chance to rest the likes of Kane and Bellingham who both look knackered and a bit off their game. Trippier could have been rested to recover his calf. Walker could have been given a rest.

Final score

Slovakia 1 Romania 1

Ukraine 0 Belgium 0

Romania qualify as group winners 

Belgium qualify in second place.

Slovakia qualify as one of the best 3rd place finishers

Ukraine go home even though all the teams in this group had 4 points.

On paper, Belgium should have walked this group but it turned out to be a tighter group than many anticipated. At the start of the tournament would never have expected Belgium to finish second or Ukraine to finish bottom. Football ay!
