    As Denmark fans descended on Germany for Euro 2024, sporting viking hats and red wigs, there was one name that featured heavily on the backs of their shirts - Rasmus Hojlund.

    The 21-year-old is set to spearhead the attack as the Danes look to upset Group C when they take on England in their second game on Thursday.

    Seen as his country's rising star, the Manchester United forward, who signed from Atalanta for £72m last summer, has the hopes of a nation riding on his shoulders.

    He played a key role in Denmark's qualifying campaign, scoring seven goals to help them top their group.

    Hojlund also enjoyed a breakout debut season for United, scoring 15 goals in 36 Premier League and Champions League appearances.

    But, despite showing glimpses of his threat in their1-1 draw with Slovenia,he has now scored just once in his past nine international matches.

    The match will be shown live on BBC One and the BBC Sport website and app, with a 17:00 BST kick-off.

    There will be lots of familiar faces in Denmark's side this evening.

    Christian Eriksen and Rasmus Hojlund both play alongside Kobbie Mainoo and Luke Shaw at Manchester United, and the midfielder is also a former teammate of England right-back Kyle Walker and centre-forward Harry Kane.

    Former Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel remains a huge presence in Kasper Hjulmand's side even at the age of 37, while the likes of Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen, former Chelsea centre-back Andreas Christensen and Leicester's Jannik Vestergaard are expected to line-up directly in front of him.

    The Danes also have Brentford quartet Mathias Jensen, Mathias Jorgensen, Mikkel Damsgaard and Christian Norgaard at their disposal as well as Tottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg

    Others currently attached to clubs in England include Mads Hermansen and Victor Kristiansen from the Foxes, plus Jacob Bruun Larsen from Burnley.

    Declan Rice has the ball just inside England's half. Looks up to pass forward and see Bellingham AND Foden calling for the ball. It's THAT moment of indecision that is causing the problems. They simply cannot play together. Give Bellingham first half and Foden second half.

    Chris

    I don't know why there isn't more chat about whether Wharton should be starting. Him and Rice as a double pivot, left and right footed respectively as well, would be a formidable base from which to unleash all our attacking players as well as being solid defensive assistance.

  7. Kane 'one of the best strikers in the world'published at 14:43 20 June

    Denmark v England (17:00 BST)

    Thomas Frank
    Brentford manager on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Ivan Toney is a very good striker, very good player, but we knowHarry Kane is one of the best strikers in the world and he will play morelikely every minute, unless England is 1-0 down, which I have to say I hope fortoday, because I’m Danish, but then maybe we will see Ivan.

    Every game is different. I think it shows Kane's top-class qualities that he gets on the end of one big chance and he is so close to scoring. Of course we want to see a game where he is getting on the end of a lot of chances, but sometimesgames are just not like that.

    No matter what he is a key player in the linkup play, but also as the finisher of course.

    I think the following team is worth a go for England: Pickford - Walker, Stones, Guehi, Gomez - Rice, Bellingham (Jude given license to be further forward than Rice) - Saka, Palmer, Gordon - Kane

    No Foden, Aly?!

    England will qualify for the last-16 of Euro 2024 with one game to spare if they defeat Denmark tonight - but will manager Gareth Southgate make changes in Frankfurt?

    Kobbie Mainoo has declared himself "always ready to play" for the Three Lions and some pundits believe the teenager should start the Group C match, which is live on BBC One (17:00 BST kick-off).

    England defeated Serbia 1-0 in their opening game last Sunday but faded after a bright start, and there have been calls for Southgate to switch it up tonight to ensure players remain fresh.

    "There is still a question mark about Trent [Alexander-Arnold]," former England midfielder Frank Lampard told BBC Sport.

    "I am a massive fan, but to come in at this level and play there when there are so many different elements of the game to understand is difficult.

    "I would look at Kobbie Mainoo and getting him in. Some kids come along that just settle into the team.

    "You need to be able to find the pass at the right time. He sees it and nothing fazes him."

    The focus has been on England's underwhelming second half performance, but I thought Serbia were actually very impressive on Sunday. With Tadic involved from the start today I fancy them to find their cutting edge, and would definitely have them as dark horses to get out of the group.

    Neil, Cardiff

    Dark horses you say, Neil?

    It's a fair point, though.

    Most people suggested England had a bit of a mare in the second half on Sunday but maybe it was Serbia just taking a while to hit their stride?

    Still almost three hours to kick-off in Frankfurt but thousands of Denmark and England fans are already here and strolling around the stadium, taking in the atmosphere.

    The weather is still being kind despite those reports of possible severe conditions. It is cool and cloudy. Perfect for football.

    Apparently Denmark's build-up to the match includes a nice little stroll around their team hotel, followed by a presentation by manager Kasper Hjulmand, in which he is going to show his side footage of Danish fans in Frankfurt.

    Talk about building the mood.

    All teams are rusty in the opening 1-2 games so there’ll be fluke results. Just wait until the 3rd match, that’s when form and merit will kick in.

    Ryan

    On a call with a German customer yesterday and he said you have a squad apparently worth £1.7bn. Its full of wonderful attacking football talents, but every time I watch you play its like watching Italian teams from the 80s, boring and defensive. Think he's spot on tbh!

    England are of course taking on Denmark a little later hoping to book their place in the last 16 of the Euros but before than Slovenia face Serbia in today's other Group C contest.

    That match has just kicked off and you can follow that match here or listen to it live from Munich on BBC Radio 5 Live.

    England have something to prove in this game, an average 1-0 game against Serbia is disappointing for a team challenging for the trophy. Southgate and the team will want to prove they can do well and score lots against a better team. Players like Foden and Kane need to step up and players like Palmer should be on.

    Angus, Edinburgh

    It may have only been 1-0 but a win is a win, right?

    Everyone loves to see goals but would you be that bothered if England scored just one goal per game and went on to lift the trophy in the final?

    When Spain won the 2010 World Cup they scored just four goals in the group stage, won 1-0 in the last 16, quarter-final and semi-final, before winning the final against the Netherlands 1-0 in extra time.

    One thing England and Denmark fans have been spoiled with down the years is with some pretty classic kits. Just look at these belters.

    But who has the best garms around this time?

    Time for you to vote... hit the thumbs up for Denmark or thumbs down for England.
