Dejection was the mood at Wembley, as England lost their final European Championship warm-up
00:06
match against Iceland on Friday. Midfielder Declan Rice vowed that the Three Lions would
00:11
learn from the loss, whilst manager Gareth Southgate made clear that this was a game
00:15
that some of the players needed ahead of a major tournament.
00:20
In Germany, England will face shadows of the past as they look to write a new future. It
00:26
was in 2006 that under Sven-Goran Eriksson, who steered the side to the quarter-finals
00:30
of the World Cup that year, that they ultimately lost on penalties to Portugal, following Wayne
00:35
Rooney's dismissal and Cristiano Ronaldo's wink.
00:40
That fateful encounter took place in Gelsenkirchen in the Arena Aufschalke, where England will
00:46
begin their journey in 2024 against Serbia on 16 June. In the city, the Traber & Bahn
00:52
racecourse will host a fan park which is accessible via a free shuttle bus from the
00:56
train station, and a bus will also take fans from the fan park to the stadium. Most familiar
01:02
to England fans from the opposition will be striker Alexander Mitrovic, who has played
01:06
in the Premier League and the Championship for Fulham and Newcastle United, but has since
01:11
moved to the Saudi Pro League.
01:14
Staying in western Germany, England next visit Frankfurt, where they will meet Denmark on
01:19
the 20th. The Danes were defeated by the Three Lions in the semi-finals of Euro 2020,
01:24
and are one-time winners of the championships in 1992. Frankfurt is a major transport hub,
01:30
with both the stadium and fan park being accessible via the S-Bahn. This will be England's third
01:34
visit to the Frankfurt Arena, with a 1-0 victory over Paraguay in 2006, being certainly more
01:39
positive than the 3-1 loss against USSR in Euro 1988. Several Premier League players
01:45
will be representing Denmark.
01:48
The encounter with Slovenia on the 25th takes place in Cologne, which, despite being Germany's
01:53
oldest city, is home to a wide array of transport links. The stadium and fan park are again
01:58
in close proximity to metro stops.
02:01
England drew 2-2 with Sweden here in 2006, with a Joe Cole long-range effort being the
02:06
highlight. No Slovenian players ply their trade in England, although Three Lions fans
02:10
will recall a meeting against them in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, in which a
02:15
Jermain Defoe goal won the match.
02:19
The question for Gareth Southgate now is how England should approach each game. The Danes
02:23
will likely provide the toughest test, although their willingness to attack may allow for
02:27
England's forward players to find space on the flanks. It is against Serbia and Slovenia
02:32
that the Iceland blueprint may re-emerge. They were unable to break through the Icelandic
02:37
defensive wall, echoing harrowing memories of Nice in 2016. This is an England side with
02:43
more flair going forward than then, but the recent loss will be a dent in their confidence.
02:48
Many say that the England manager's role is the impossible job, but Gareth Southgate still
02:53
has one opportunity to change that.
