The European Championships continued apace yesterday and thankfully passed without a repeat of the previous day’s drama.

Denmark star Christian Eriksen appears to be making good progress – news which will be music to the ears of every football fan.

England got their campaign underway with a victory over Croatia on Sunday, and they will have a keen eye on proceedings in Scotland this afternoon.

Our latest Euro 2020 Diary takes a look at some of the talking points around England’s win.

He was at it again in the run-up to Sunday’s game, describing English journalists and commentators as ‘arrogant’.

In the spirit of arrogance, does anyone know whether Kalvin Phillips has allowed Modric out of his pocket yet

Ex-Chelsea star needs media training

The BBC’s coverage of England’s game against Croatia drew impressive viewing figures, despite the game being played in the middle of a sunny Sunday afternoon.

For the most part, the coverage highlighted why the BBC blows ITV out of the water during major tournaments, although one pundit did let the side down.

For those interested, 11.6m watched England v Croatia on BBC 1 with an extraordinary 79.2% share of people watching TV. It was also a record for iPlayer at 3.9m. Huge numbers on a hot summer’s afternoon and they’ll only get bigger.
