    BBC Radio 5 Live

    Football journalist Henry Winter has been speaking about England not needing "cheerleaders" this morning as part of Nicky Campbell's phone-in on BBC Radio 5 Live.

    The phone-in was in response to comments made by Harry Kane about the criticism the team has faced while they have been out in Germany.

    "You don't want bland pundits, you want people giving the truth," said Winter.

    "What England don't need, and there are one or two of them out there, are cheerleaders. That doesn't help.

    "Southgate's got his supporters. Trent Alexander-Arnold, I'm a huge admirer of him as a player and so maybe when I write about him.

    "I need to take a step back and think, don't be a cheerleader, be a bit more even handed. Perspective is the first casualty of war and it's certainly the first casualty of tournaments."

    The players are competing in head, shoulders, knees, ball. Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham were against each other and it was Kane who won, grabbing the ball before Bellingham. The Real Madrid star turned around with a smile on his face.

    They then come together for some group sprints and all the cameras are trained on Luke Shaw, as all eyes will be.

    The squad, aside from the keepers who are still working in goal, were in a big circle with manager Gareth Southgate. They have now dispersed into smaller groups to warm up for the session.

    Luke Shaw is opposite Kieran Trippier in the warm-up and is looking light on his feet, at ease and comfortable.

    Jordan Pickford dived to block a shot when it was his turn in goal, he jumped to his feet and held his shoulder as though he had hurt himself.

    He lifted both hands above his head and then walked out of frame as Aaron Ramsdale took over in goal. It did not look very serious but something to note.

    To reiterate, all 26 England players are due out on the pitch for today’s training session. That means Luke Shaw will be on the pitch with the rest of the squad. He has been following an individual programme for the last couple of sessions.

    England manager Gareth Southgate has a few selection headaches ahead of the final group match against Slovenia on Tuesday.

    The performance in the 1-1 draw with Denmark in the second group game was criticised and Southgate described Trent Alexander-Arnold playing in midfield as an "experiment".

    That would mean one of Conor Gallagher, who has featured in both games so far, Kobbie Mainoo or Adam Wharton coming into midfield as Southgate looks to improve the level of control his side has during matches.

    Kieran Trippier, who has been filling in at left-back for the injured Luke Shaw, missed nine games towards the end of the Premier League season and has played more during the tournament than was initially planned.

    Trippier was seen to be drinking pickle juice during the first group game against Serbia as he went down with cramp and there had been hope that Luke Shaw would be fit enough to have featured by now.

    Shaw has not been on the training pitch with his team-mates for the last two sessions and has been following an individual programme but will be back with them today.

    If Trippier is to be rested for the final group game, BBC Sport understands that there's a strong possibility that Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa could come into that position.

    Joe Gomez has also played in that position for his club side Liverpool and has played there in the matches leading up to the tournament for England.

    England will be clearly hoping to avoid a last-16 tie against Germany by winning their final group game against Slovenia on Tuesday (20:00 BST) to secure their progress as Group C winners.

  9. How they finished - Group Bpublished at 10:13 British Summer Time 24 June

    Just to bring you up to speed, Germany and Switzerland booked their places in the last-16 after playing out a 1-1 draw in their final group game on Sunday night.

    Group winners Germany will play the runners-up in Group C - England's group - in the last 16, while second-placed Switzerland face the side that finishes second in Group B - either Italy, Croatia or Albania.

    Hungary will have to wait and see if their three points is enough to qualify for the knockout stages as one of the best third-placed teams.

    Scotland 0-1 Hungary

    BBC Radio 5 Live

    More from BBC Scotland's Amy Irons, speaking on BBC 5 Live Breakfast, about the approach of Steve Clarke's side in their defeat to Hungary: "I think for that 15 minutes [of the match], it really opened up. You could tell that this was a game that both sides needed to win. It was like watching basketball, it was proper end to end. I think there was a feeling that if Scotland maybe had 10 more minutes like that and a player like Lawrence Shankland on the pitch, it could have ended differently.

    "It probably sums up the game across the whole when you realise Grant Hanley, our centre-back, had more touches and it was his shot on target that was probably our best chance of the whole game.

    "I think if Scotland fans really reflect this morning, Hungary looked like the team that were going to win it more but it wasn't from a lack of trying from the Scotland players on the pitch because they gave it their all and it's just ended with such disappointment."

    Former England forward Ellen White also spoke about Scotland's exit from Euro 2024 on 5 Live Breakfast: "It was disappointing, wasn't it? You felt like, you wanted more energy, you wanted them to go forward a bit more. That last 10 minutes was probably the most exciting of the game, end-to-end stuff. Frustrating for Scotland fans, absolutely heart-breaking. I would agree with what most people are saying, it was a stonewall penalty. I don't know why VAR didn't tell the referee to go to the monitor. Heart-breaking for Scotland.

    She added: "You would have hoped that Scotland would have maybe done a little bit more, attacked more, gone for it, I know that does open you up more but as a fan I would want to just go for it."

  12. 'Most important opinion is the manager and my team-mates'published at 09:46 British Summer Time 24 June

    England

    Former England striker Ellen White has been on 5 Live Breakfast this morning and gave her advice to Harry Kane on blocking out the noise: "It's challenging but they're away from it, they're in a camp that's way from media coverage and you'd hope they're in their little bubble.

    "The media is everywhere. For me, personally, the most important opinion is either the manager, the staff or my own team-mates and that's what you've got to concentrate [on] - building that rapport, that connection and that relationship, that togetherness and that family-like feel as a group, not listen to what is going on outside and focus on what they can control.

    "Hopefully that is what we'll see come up in the next game tomorrow."

    Scotland goalkeeper Angus Gunn, speaking on Football Daily: "It is hard to speak to be honest.

    "I thought everyone gave their best out there. The goal at the end was because we were going for it. The effort we gave today showed the fans and country what it means to us.

    "It didn't fall for us, deflections didn't go our way and we couldn't score. At the end of the day we are out and nothing really matters anymore."

  15. 'I just don't think we did enough'published at 09:29 British Summer Time 24 June

    Scotland 0-1 Hungary

    BBC Radio 5 Live

    Former Scotland internationals Kevin Gallacher and Paul Lambert were speaking about Scotland's defeat at the 2024 Euros on BBC 5 Live Breakfast. Here's what they had to say.

    Former Borussia Dortmund midfielder Lambert: "I don't think we've done enough in a game, I think Steve [Clarke] is right, it was a stonewall penalty. I thought Hungary were a really bang-average team, the way they played. That's when I think one of your centre-halves has to step into midfield, because it gives you overload because they were defending so deep, but we don't have the type of players who can unlock. We've never had the number 10 playmakers that can send a pass or have a shot at nothing. We have to get goals through a team effort, I just don't think we did enough to unlock them or to put them [Hungary] on the back foot."

    Former Blackburn Rovers striker Gallacher: "They [Scotland] were just passing the ball and keeping possession, but it's about how you use it and where you use it - I think that was the problem.

    "It's about the creativity, when you're playing against a lesser nation, and that's where we lacked. We always turn up, generally, against a harder nation, where they're attacking all the time, we can counter and we look good. But when we're having possession, it's about taking the risky passes at times, we don't have the people to do that. We're not getting beyond the opposition to think like that.

    "I feel sorry for the followers because they will come away thinking, we never got a shot at goal, nothing's come out of it, they'll be disappointed.

    "The lads will be disappointed, there'll be no doubt about that. They've tried their hardest and it's just not worked for them."

    Scotland didn't play well this tournament - it is that simple. They do not deserve to go through. Penalty or no penalty, to play the way they did in a must-win game is a disgrace. Should we really have any sympathy?

    Zachary Hutchinson

    The unfortunate truth is that Hungary are a poor team, Scotland had no answers and played like a team who knew they wouldn’t be able to score twice. For the first 3/4 of the game they had no plan of how to score, in the last 1/4 Hungary could’ve scored with every attack. I wish the penalty incident hadn’t happened, as it feeds into the narrative of ‘Unlucky Scotland’, the reality is we just weren’t good enough against a very limited team.

    Steve

    We knew it would be hard, but penalty claim aside, that team was crying out for Lawrence Shankland from the start last night. Che Adam's had proved in games one and two he cannot hold the ball...Shankland can. Anyway back to New York for me...most likely last time I'll ever see Scotland play in Europe.

    BBC Radio 5 Live

    BBC Scotland's Amy Irons has been speaking about the pain of Euros defeat on BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast: "Still feeling pretty stunned but frustrated because this was a game Scotland had to win if they wanted to make history and make it out of the group stages for the first time at a major tournament ever.

    "To not change things until about the 75th minute. I think most Scotland fans were scratching their heads. Especially when there were so many attacking options, fresh legs, sitting on that bench. The likes of Lawrence Shankland, who we know has been such a prolific goal scorer in the Scottish Premiership.

    "So I think it was a feeling of he should have rolled the dice a little sooner, who knows, but it was just painful."

    I was very surprised in how Hungary approached the game. They really sat off us. I expected it to be so open and them to be really aggressive.

    But fair play to them as they probably looked at us and felt they aren't the type of team who are going to get into wide areas and really cut you open.

    With 488 passes we made, how many of them were penetrating? How many of them were asking questions of the Hungary backline? Nowhere near enough.

    Scotland needed to take those risks when we had good structure about us. Not when we have taken Ralston, Robertson and McGinn off. It needed to come when we had a solidity at the back. It is something we might look back on and say we played with too much of a handbrake.

    And when Shankland came on he offered us a lot more of a threat. Maybe that is because Hungary started taking risks too.

    Overall, one point from the group with two deflections to get our two goals.

    As a team we are better than that.

  20. Hungary's Varga stable after going off on stretcherpublished at 08:50 British Summer Time 24 June

    Scotland 0-1 Hungary

    Scotland's disappointment was put into some perspective by the serious-looking injury to Hungary striker Barnabas Varga in the second half following a mid-air clash with goalkeeper Angus Gunn.

    Varga is "stable" in hospital after sustaining a fractured cheek bone and will have an operation, Hungary manager Marco Rossi told BBC Sport.

    "Varga is okay," said Rossi. "Unfortunately he will be operated on because he suffered a fracture. We will see [what happens]. If we progress in the tournament for sure he will not be with us."

    Speaking in his post-match news conference, Rossi added that Varga was "healthy" and "not under any kind of risks".

    The match was held up for nearly seven minutes as the striker received lengthy treatment on the pitch.

    "The Hungarian national team player is currently in one of the hospitals in Stuttgart," the Hungarian Football Federation wrote in a post on X, external.
