England, the big tournament favorite at the European Championship, also put in a poor performance against Slovenia. The fans were furious.

Coach Gareth Southgate’s team will advance to the knockout round as first in Group C – and thus avoid the DFB team. Instead, the Danes, second in the table, will face Germany in the round of 16.
