England 1 Austria 0 - England's countdown to the Euro's continued with a narrow win over Austria at Riverside Stadium - but they suffered an injury setback as Liverpool defender Trent Alexander Arnold limped off late on. Southgate saw his experimental side secure victory when Arsenal teenager Bukayo Saka crowned a fine move with an angled finish for his first international goal after 56 minutes. Southgate's main concern is the injury picked up by Terence Trent-Arnold towards the end.

The 23-year old made his debut in last week's 1-0 friendly win over Austria, the same match in which Alexander-Arnold was injured. White started alongside Mings in yesterday's victory over Romania.

Harry Maguire was involved in training but still seems unlikely to feature against Croatia tomorrow. the evening's press conference featuring Gareth Southgate and Harry Kane has been postponed in light of the tragic incident involving Christian Eriksen in the Denmark vs. Finland match, only moments before the appointed time in front of the media.

Sunday, 13 June 2021 - England 1 Croatia 0 - England's Euro 2020 campaign got off to a winning start as Raheem Sterling's goal secured victory over Croatia at Wembley. Sterling repaid Southgate's faith in him, sliding in the winner after 57 minutes following a perfect pass from man-of-the-match Kalvin Phillips.

Friday, 18 June 2021 - England 0 Scotland 0 - England and Scotland played out a goalless draw at Wembley to leave both countries with their hopes of reaching the knockout stage very much alive. The first meeting between the two sides in a major tournament since 1996 was played in a typically raucous atmosphere despite only 22,500 fans in attendance - with both sides having their opportunities to win. England should have taken an early lead when John Stones headed Mason Mount's corner onto the post. Scotland settled and improved and had Jordan Pickford make a superb save from Stephen O'Donnell.

The pair could miss tomorrow night's final group game with Czech Republic. The entire England squad had lateral flow tests today and all were negative. The FA said it would hold further talks with Public Health England before taking further action. "The pair will be kept away from the rest of the England players and wider support team, pending further discussions with PHE. We will continue to follow all Covid19 protocols and the UEFA testing regime, while remaining in close contact with the PHE."
Austria 0 Ukraine 1 & Belgium 2 Finland 0/Denmark 4 Russia 1 - These results in tonight's round of games ensure that England have qualified for the next stage of the competition. Even if they lose tomorrow night, they will progress as the bet third-placed team. However, a win will ensure they qualify as group winners and play their round of sixteen match at Wembley in eight days time.  A draw will see them play in Copenhagen next Monday.

Tuesday morning, 22 June 2021 - It has been confirmed that Ben Chilwell and Mason Mount must isolate upto and including 28 June. The decision was taken in consultation with Public Health England.
Tuesday evening, Czech Republic 0 England 1 - Raheem Sterling's second goal of Euro 2020 saw England beat Czech Republic to win the group and set up a last-16 tie at Wembley.

Gareth Southgate's side battled hard to earn the statement victory that has so often eluded England, and it was their talisman of this tournament, Raheem Sterling, who made the decisive breakthrough. Sterling steered in Luke Shaw's cross after 75 minutes to send England's fans, with more than 40,000 inside Wembley, into wild celebrations. The win was secured with another moment of significance four minutes from time when captain Harry Kane, who had once again struggled to influence the game, headed in from substitute Jack Grealish's perfect delivery for his first goal of Euro 2020. England were again thankful for the brilliance of Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, who has yet to concede a goal in the tournament and saved crucially from Timo Werner and Kai Havertz in each half, while Thomas Muller missed a glorious chance to equalise before Kane struck.

Wednesday, 30 June 2021 - England fans tempted to travel from the UK to Italy have been told to 'watch from home' - and players will have to 'make their own atmosphere' in the Olympic Stadium.

Gareth Southgate's side followed up the landmark victory over Germany in the last 16 by producing a performance of composure and the highest quality to continue their impressive progress in the tournament. Harry Kane was back to his predatory best after struggling in the group stage by poking home a superb pass from Raheem Sterling after only four minutes. Ukraine barely threatened England, were on their way to their second successive tournament semi-final when Harry Maguire powered home a header from Luke Shaw's free-kick seconds into the second half. The outstanding Shaw was the creator once more four minutes later with a perfect cross that was headed in from six yards by Harry Kane. England were so impressive as they simply overpowered Ukraine with substitute Jordan Henderson getting the fourth - his first international goal, in his 62nd appearance - when he arrived with perfect timing to head in Mason Mount's corner. To add to the satisfaction, they kept their fifth successive clean sheet to maintain their record of not conceding a goal at the Tournament.

Wednesday, 7 July 2021 - England 2 Denmark 1 - England's 55-year wait to reach a major Final is over at last with victory over Denmark, on a night of nerve-shredding tension then unconfined joy at Wembley. Gareth Southgate's men were on a mission to travel one step further than any England side had done since the 1966 World Cup final against West Germany, and they finally achieved the long-cherished goal as they came from behind to triumph in extra-time. They had to fight victory after conceding their first goal of the tournament to Mikkel Damsgaard's stunning free-kick after thirty minutes. England replied quickly when Denmark captain Simon Kjaer turned in Bukayo Saka's cross six minutes before the break. Kasper Schmeichel was Denmark's hero as the hosts sought the winner, saving brilliantly from Harry Maguire and Harry Kane as the game went into extra-time. Raheem Sterling was fouled by Joakim Mæhle to award England a penalty, checked by VAR, to lead to Schmeichel saving Kane's penalty, only for the rebound to fall at Kane's feet for him to slot home the winner.

Thursday, 8 July 2021 - UEFA has charged England after a laser pointer was pointed at Denmark keeper Kasper Schmeichel during last-nights semi-final. Television pictures showed a green light on Schmeichel's face just before Harry Kane took his extra-time penalty. England are also charged with 'causing a disturbance' during Denmark's national anthem and setting off fireworks. The FA and UEFA officials searched for the source of the laser pointer during extra time, but were unable to find those responsible. The Danish FA were asked if they wanted to make an official complaint, but said they did not want to take the matter further.

Information on this matter will be made available in due course."
thousands of England fans congregated in public spaces around London from midday onwards on Sunday, including Leicester Square in the centre of the capital. But some of the most troubling scenes occurred around Wembley itself, where fans without tickets were filmed entering the stadium and clashing with stewards who tried to restrict entry. There were also claims that supporters who did have tickets were prevented from taking their allocated seats. The FA in a statement dubbed the incidents "entirely unacceptable", while labelling the individuals involved "an embarrassment to the England team".
