EVEN England's biggest fan was left "broken" following the performance over Denmark.

Gareth Southgate's Three Lions were held 1-1 in their second Euro 2024 group stage match.

The performance was lacklustre and left fans at home, and in the stadium in Frankfurt, frustrated.

None more so than England super-fan Andy Milne - the 'Steve McClaren lookalike' who has gained a reputation for always getting his face on the TV.

But his usual beaming smile was replaced with a glum look as fans felt the "face of a nation's" pain.

One said: "Bloody hell. They've broke him."

Another added: "Even his spirit has now been broken."

Andy - who has gone to nine Euros and eight World Cups - regularly features on the TV with huge grin.

But there was little to smile about after Harry Kane's opener was cancelled out by Morten Hjulmand's wonderstrike.

England still top the group heading into the final group stage fixture against Slovenia on Tuesday.

Southgate took responsibility for the performance and admitted rapid improvements must be made.

He said: “We are disappointed with the two performances we’ve had so we’ve got to go and analyse that in depth and find some solutions to addressing the issues that we have.


“We know the level has to be higher. Maybe the biggest thing is we have to accept the environment that we’re in and the expectation around this.

“We are going to have to walk towards that challenge. At the moment we’re falling a bit short of that.

"Ultimately that’s my responsibility. I’m the manager and I’ve got to guide this group in the best way possible.

"To achieve extraordinary things, you have to go through some difficult moments.”
