But Gareth Southgate's team struck a big blow at home at Wembley, against Croatia, finalist of the last World Cup in Russia against France (4-2).

With a rejuvenated formation and a very talented generation, the English, outsiders of the competition, launched their Euro perfectly with this victory (1-0) and took their revenge for the semi-final of the 2018 Worlds.

The Netherlands impressed against Ukraine (3-2) after being scared.

Leading 2-0, thanks in particular to a goal from the future Parisian Wijnaldum, they saw the Ukrainians score twice to equalize (75th and 79th).

But a header from Dumfries allowed them to win (85th).

Unfortunately, the day was also marked by an accident.

At Wembley, just after the kick-off of the England - Croatia match, a supporter fell from a stand.

He was evacuated in serious condition to a hospital.

The program of the day

3 p.m. (beIN Sports 1) Scotland - Czech Republic

Scotland, for its first major tournament since 1998, will face the Czechs, in a match that it tackles in an outsider position.

The surprising Scotland, qualified at the expense of Serbia in particular, relies on its executives Robertson (Liverpool), McTominay (Manchester United) and McGinn (Aston Villa) to disrupt the finalists of the 1996 edition. Already present at Euro-2016 , the Czech Republic wants to forget a very dull course on the lawns of France: it had conceded two defeats against Spain (1-0) and Turkey (2-0), saving the honor against Croatia (2-2) and took the front door.

6 p.m. (beIN Sports 1) Poland - Slovakia

It is without Arkadiusz Milik, package, but with its gunner and captain Robert Lewandowski, that Poland will approach this Euro.

Paulo Sousa's team did not give any guarantees of defensive strength during the preparation match against Iceland (2-2) on Tuesday in Poznan.

9 p.m. (TF1, beIN Sports 1) Spain - Sweden

The "Roja", deprived of her captain Sergio Busquets tested positive for Covid-19 from the start of her preparation, approaches her first match of the tournament in a certain vagueness. To avoid the multiplication of cases of Covid, the Spanish selection has taken drastic measures by forcing its players to train alone until Friday. As a result, she could not play her preparation match against Lithuania last Tuesday, leaving her team Hopes to play this meeting, which she easily won (4-0). Their opponent of the day, Sweden, is no better off. The Blågult (the Blues and the Yellow) lost along the way the talented Juventus striker Dejan Kulusevski as well as the Bologna midfielder Mattias Svanberg, affected by the Covid.If it is accepted that the two players are already forfeited against La Roja, coach Janne Andersson, already deprived of his emblematic captain Zlatan Ibrahimovic (knee injury), even gave himself until last night, midnight , to submit his group of 26 players to UEFA.

The sentence to remember

“At the moment, we have no explanation.

That's one of the reasons he's still in the hospital, to figure out what happened.

The English Federation issued a statement on Saturday asking England supporters at Wembley not to whistle their players when they kneel down in a sign of the fight against discrimination.

The England team had indeed been booed by part of the public in Middlesbrough when they knelt before the friendly matches against Austria (1-0) and Romania (1-0).

Yesterday, it was a clamor of support mixed with a few whistles that greeted this gesture.
