ENGLAND took the points but not the plaudits in their Euro 2024 opener and fans will be hoping for a more convincing display when the Three Lions face Denmark this evening.
Jude Bellingham brought up one of Sunday's Super Singles when he bulleted home an early header against Serbia but that was as good as it got for the English and they had to hold on for a 1-0 win.
Gareth Southgate will take heart from the fact his new-look defence managed to keep a clean sheet and he will be looking for them to rack up another against the Danes.
Kasper Hjulmand's side also failed failed to build on an early goal in their opener Group C opener and ended up paying the price as Slovenia grabbed a late leveller.
They will need a win from their final two games to get into the knockout stages and Hjulmand will want to get job done tonight rather than sweating on their final game with the Serbs.

Denmark vs England Top Betting Tips
There wasn't much goalmouth action in both Group C openers so it could pay to back another tight game but under 2.5 goals only pays 4/6 at Betfred. The half-time draw offers more value with that bet priced at 11/10.
Harry Kane was starved of service in England's opener but showed how dangerous he is with a header that was tipped onto the bar in his only real sight of goal. The Bayern Munich striker is 5/4 for anytime scorer and I fancy him to get off the mark.
Manchester United's Rasmus Hojlund was also denied a goal by a wonder save in Denmark's opener and the striker will be a threat again. He's 10/11 just to get an effort on target.
England won a single corner in their clash with Serbia while the Danes racked up nine against Slovenia. That suggests backing Denmark for most corners could be worth a punt at 21/10.
Spain vs Italy Top Tips
The late game tonight has the potential to be a cracker as big guns Spain and Italy do battle in the Group of Death.
Both teams look likely to survive in the tournament's most cut-throat section having opened up with wins over Croatia and Albania respectively.
A draw would be enough to take each side through so that bet will be popular at 9/4 with Betfred. The half-time stalemate might be a better option at 21/20.
Italian midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini looked a threat against the Albanians and he's a tempting 11/10 for an effort on target tonight.
There's a bit of bad blood between these nations from previous battles at major tournaments so there could be a few cards. Spanish right-back Dani Carvajal looks a bit overpriced at 3/1 to go in the book.
Slovenia vs Serbia Top Tips
Slovenia were written off in Group C by most bookies when the draw was made but that opening draw with Denmark has given them a decent chance of qualifying.
A win over Serbia would seal the deal today but Dragan Stojkovic's men played well in their defeat to the English and are Betfred's 4/5 favourites.
This is a derby of sorts as two nations from the former Yugoslavia square up. The bookies reckon it could get spicy as over 37.5 booking points pays just 8/11. There's more value in backing players for cards and Serbia full-back Strahinja Pavlovic is 5/2 to go in the book.
We haven't seen a lot of corners at the Euros so far and we only had three in Serbia's opener with England. Backing under 8.5 flag kicks in this one pays 11/10.
Argentina vs Canada Top Tips
The Copa America gets underway in the early hours of Friday morning as champions Argentina take on the Canadians.
It's hard to hold out much hope for the Maple Leafs and an win to nil for Lionel Messi and Co combined with Argentina to be winning at half-time and full-time pays 7/4 in a bet builder.
Thursday's Football Tips: Super Singles
- Harry Kane anytime scorer 5/4 Betfred
- Strahinja Pavlovic to be carded 5/2 Betfred
- Lorenzo Pelllegrini shot on target 11/10 Betfred

India v Afghanistan T20 World Cup (15:30 BST)
Kohli o26.5 Runs
Track is an absolute road, high run game expected based on the lines and Kohli will open for India in the powerplay. Has an incredible average against this bowling attack and will be desperate for runs before India play the big boys.
Goodluck if anyone follows :)
Jude Bellingham atgs 27/10@ ladbrokes. Gl🍀
Got my 3 first half Scottish corners up @ 12/5
It’s been good for corners so far in the tournament let’s hope it continues .
Well done all winners
Bet365,s Even Money for over 3.5 Scotland Match Goals thot was a Cracker of a Bet..(Shifted to 10/11 just before Kick off..)..
Spain v Italy
Spain 2+ goals and 2+ cards each team 6/1
How Spain haven’t scored twice I’ll never know 🫣😆
Brann u19 vs Fana u19
Over 4.5mgs @ 1/1 (bet365)
Lorenskog u19 vs Tromso u19
Over 4.5mgs @ 11/10 (bet365)
Small stake
Double @ 3.2/1 (bet365)
Think these two games have a great chance of covering the goal line set, and wouldn’t be surprised to see these odds drift closer to kick off. All four teams good for goals and a bit of a quality difference too.
Good luck 🤞

Wee early fancy for Sunday..
Scotland v Hungary…Hungary over 4.5 corners 11/10 Bet 365…Like Scotland, Hungary need to Win..
Hungary got 7 corners against Germany yesterday, and with Scotland having defensive problems and some of the Squad dragging tired bodies,ive a wee notion on this 1..
Looks good mate 👍
Sound logic boabee
England v Denmark
Over 2.5 goals at 13/10 (NAP)
Usual own goals, still can’t see how that was not an own goal last night, yes it was on target but in my mind the keeper looked to have it covered. If it doesn’t hit Schar then the keeper more than likely saves it.
Best of luck
Hello Mac, which website do you use for ogs please ? I struggled to find them. Thank you
b365 mate, go to the relevant games and click on specials, you’ll find own goals below the penalties markets.
Hey Mac, on the OGs are you just level staking / flat betting on every game to have an own goal? Saw your post yesterday about some good profits from it!
Yes same stake every game, there was an own goal in the first game, then nothing until the 10th game so that brought me back to where I started more or less but then there was 3 in quick succession so in very good profit up to now, you need patience though as there won’t be 1 every game. The key is to stick at it. If that one was given last night it would have been amazing.
Mac, that was a own goal all the way last nite even bbc put it up as one😳
Thought I was losing my marbles jimba, bookies should do the decent thing and pay out. But as we all know they aren’t decent….
It was an own goal all day long, what a joke
Denmark
Spain
Over 2.5 match goals double just short of 4/1 ,
Denmark
Spain
11+ corners double 7.5/1 (will get better odds than this)
Sticking with corners as cocker mentioned above its been very good so far for spot kicks let’s hope it continues ,
Goodluck all 👍
Crap!!! 1 foul short – So much for me 21 FOLD! This bet more realistic (I hope 😬)………

Ec realidade to score 19-10 BETWAY….
Huge price reflects the gulf in class but bragantino aren’t one of the top dogs in the Brazilian women’s main league and they have played a lot of games recently and judging by results seen to use this lesser state cup as an opportunity to field squad members.
The away side did score at Sao Paolo recently when BTTS was priced at 2-1 at HILLS so you can bet other bookies were pricing it higher than those mingy bssstards.
The away side have scored in all 6 matches since April and hoping they can nick one here on a 4-1 defeat
Be interesting to hear southgate’s excuses for that pile of crap.
Are they only team who have failed to excite so far in their 2 games.
They fell straight into Southgate mode from minute 1 today.
Sitting back, 2 banks of 4 with Denmark probing and dictating the direction of the game.
Just like the last euro final home to Italy.
They look paralysed with fear of expressing themselves.
Man for man they are in a par with most sides.
Is it a premier league team with a non league manager or is there more to it than that.
Ok, I’m a bitter Welshman 🤣, but I’m at a loss to explain that performance.
Maybe they will be a team that suddenly bursts into life when you learnt expect it ?.
Slovenia won’t be easy as they will need a win so maybe they will leave gaps as they push for win and allow England to flourish ??
They was rubbish today they looked tired, thought overs would of sailed in, not to be although had a nice touch with Noorgard getting booked when he came on at 20/1.
England are still joint -favourites to win the whole tournament at 4/1
🤣
Can’t wait for Southgate to take over from EtH 😭😭😭

Goals and corner bets both losers today , England were shocking , unless they drastically change we ain’t going very far in this tournament , few penny’s on these for the Spain/Italy game ,
Over 2.5 match goals 6/5 ,
Spain win + over 2.5 match goals 10/3 ,
Goodluck 👍
No arguing with that og
I was gonna say, it’ll probably go down as a Williams goal!
Own goal lands again at 12/1. If your not on these you really should be.
Cheers Macca for own goal shouts.
Only got on last 2 but nice profits so ty
Why is this the case tho is due to such good teams, players pressure or is it just down to pure
Good luck
Football has moved on from what it used to be especially at International level which nowadays is played at hell of a pace and with that comes mistakes especially in the penalty area. Internationals used to be boring but now it’s more like club football and that’s why we see a plethora of og’s. Having said that though if it were the World Cup then probably not as many as South Americans pride themselves on defending.
Slybet treble…8/5+
