Euro 2024 LIVE: Grealish sends Southgate message as Rooney issues harsh England verdict

Euro 2024 has entered its second week, with the fallout from England's 1-1 draw against Denmark dominating headlines.

Some have even called for Gareth Southgate to be sacked mid-tournament, despite the Three Lions being all but confirmed of a spot in the last-16.

A point in their final group game against Slovenia will confirm progression to the last-16, while a win will see the one-time World Cup winners finish top.

But question marks around their performances have dampened expectations and led to some harsh criticisms of the England side.

Scotland are looking over at their British rivals' tally of four points with envious eyes, as Steve Clarke's side gear up for their last Group A outing.

Yet to qualify for the knockouts of a major tournament, a victory against Hungary on Sunday evening should confirm the Tartan Army's progression into the round of 16.

On Saturday afternoon and evening, the last of the second round of group games will take place, with Turkey, Belgium and Portugal all in action.

And ahead of what promises to be another pulsating weekend of Euro 2024, follow Express Sport's updates below...

England players still unhappy with Jack Grealish snub

Players within the England side have reportedly spoken out about Jack Grealish's omission from the 26-man squad.

Grealish picked up an assist for England during their warm-up win against Bosnia and Herzegovina, but was dropped from the squad just days later.

And according to The Independent, there have been grumblings from senior players about Grealish's absence.

Wayne Rooney calls out England players after 'flat' performance

Wayne Rooney believes England's players need to shoulder the blame for their dire showing against Denmark on Thursday.

The Three Lions struggled to click as they limped to a 1-1 draw with their Group C opponents in Frankfurt.

Manager Gareth Southgate has come under fire for his side's performance, but Rooney insists the players are equally to blame.

Speaking on the BBC, he said: "I think it was a flat performance, there wasn't energy or balance in the team.

"I'm putting it on the players as well. If Harry Kane says he didn't know what to do after the game... the players have to take responsibility.

"I think for Gareth and Steve Holland I'm pretty sure they're working on a gameplan. Gareth's got a chance now to reassess, I hope he makes a couple of changes to get us back on the front foot."

Jack Grealish sends Gareth Southgate message after England snub

It's been a quiet summer for Jack Grealish, after the Manchester City man was left out of the England squad for this summer's Euros.

But Grealish has sent a subtle dig towards manager Gareth Southgate following England's 1-1 draw against Denmark.

The forward shared a shirtless video of him training at a Juventus Academy pitch, captioned: "8pm, 25 degrees, football and sun, perfect."

Guten Morgen!

Guten Morgen! The football festival in Germany got off to a flyer during week one of the Euros, with fans hoping for more of the same in week two.
