England know that the last 16 of Euro 2024 is within touching distance as they head into a reunion with Denmark.

The Three Lions beat the Danes in the semi-finals at Euro 2020, coming from behind to win 2-1 after extra time.

Harry Kane was England s hero as he converted a penalty winner, though spot-kicks would of course go on to prove to be their downfall in the final against Italy.

There is less on the line when England face Denmark again on Thursday, though Gareth Southgate s team will progress to the knockout stage should they win.

Here, we use Opta data to preview the Group C clash.

AC Milan and Italy striker Antonio Cassano claims he has plans to put an end to his career after the 2014 World Cup.

The 29-year-old attacker netted twice for his country in their comfortable 3-0 victory against Northern Ireland in the last Euro 2012 qualifier.

Cassano played an important part in Italy s Group C victory, as he netted six goals and finished as the country s top scorer during the qualifying campaign.

The former Roma and Sampdoria star confessed he is happy that the spotlight is on him after being a target of the media in recent years.

I am happy to receive such compliments, it was about time, he told Rai Sport. After 13 years in which I was criticised, a few nice words every now and then feel good.

I feel fine, now I want to con…

German Bundesliga clubs have a habit of wrapping up transfer deals even before the official start of a transfer window, which is by no mean a bad thing, seeing that this helps the teams prepare for the new season in the best possible way.

While the summer transfer window is open from 1 July to 31 August, winter transfer window lasts from 1 January to 31 January, but it is important to note that the deadline in Germany is at 18:00, some 6 hours before the transfer window closes in most other leagues. FIFA Transfer Matching System ensures that only deals confirmed by both selling and buying club are processed, thus making sure there are no last minute hiccups.

Still unbeaten this season, Bayer Leverkusen will travel to face AS Roma at the Stadio Olimpico on Thursday, in the first leg of their encounter in the semifinals of the Europa League.

Seeking to avenge their loss in last season s semis, the newly crowned German champions are determined to advance to the Dublin final, where they could potentially meet Marseille or Atalanta. Meanwhile, the hosts bring with them a wealth of experience from their recent European campaigns.

Emerging victorious from an all-Italian showdown in the quarterfinals, Roma sealed their advancement against AC Milan. After securing a narrow lead in the first leg at San Siro, they clinched a 2-1 victory on their home turf a week later.

The wait for the new Serie A season is almost over and, remarkably, five of last season s top six will be entering the 2019-20 campaign with new faces at the helm.

Champions Juventus surprisingly parted company with Massimiliano Allegri and replaced him with Maurizio Sarri despite winning the title yet again, although runners-up Napoli have stuck with Carlo Ancelotti.

Inter and AC Milan both appointed new head coaches, with Antonio Conte and Marco Giampaolo taking charge respectively, while Paulo Fonseca is the new man in the Roma dugout.

We look at how the four new men have fared previously in Serie A to see how things might pan out with their new clubs.

Tottenham s 5-2 win over Southampton saw Harry Kane surpass Alan Shearer and Lionel Messi as well as setting two Premier League hat-trick records.

Kane s second treble in four days inspired Spurs to a resounding success at Wembley, securing the 24-year-old a place in the history books.

The England international overtook Shearer s 22-year record for Premier League goals in a calendar year, while also usurping Messi as Europe s top scorer for club and country in 2017.

With Spurs not in action again until January 2, we take a look at Kane s sensational year in front of goal, with the help of Opta data.

Germany captain Michael Ballack is not expected to play football again in 2010 after it was revealed on Wednesday his knee injury is worse than first thought.

The 34-year-old fractured the tibia just below his left knee in a Bundesliga match against Hanover last month, but a further examination has revealed more bad news.

The defensive midfielder now needs to wear a protective cast for the next four to six weeks to allow the injury to heal.

The injury is more serious than thought and as a result Michael will be unavailable until the end of the year, said his club Bayer Leverkusen in a statement.

Ballack picked up the injury on only his third game back after damaging ligaments in his right ankle last May which kept him out of the World Cup finals.

Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang once again lit up an empty Wembley Stadium as his brace ensured FA Cup final victory over 10-man Chelsea on this day three years ago.

The striker, who downed Manchester City with two goals in the semi-final, equalised with a penalty he had won himself to cancel out Christian Pulisic’s early opener.

Chelsea then lost Cesar Azpilicueta and Pulisic to injury before Aubameyang brilliantly added his second to secure a 2-1 victory and then lifted a record 14th FA Cup for the Gunners.

His only false move of the day was dropping the trophy in front of his team-mates before eventually raising it above his head.

For head coach Mikel Arteta, this was a first piece of silverware just eight months after taking charge of the …

Chicago Bears fans have been waiting their entire lives for this moment: The prodigal QB, face of the future, and savior of the franchise Justin Fields finally makes his first career NFL start!
