Hojlund's game face on

It was a mixed bag for Hojlund in his first season at Manchester United but he showed signs of why they splashed the cash to get him and it looks like he'll be the man leading the line for Denmark for years to come. On paper, Slovenia are the weakest team in the group and there will be real pressure on the Danes to come away with three points today.

Slovenia yet to go beyond group stage

Can Slovenia make history by qualifying from the group? They've never had a better team than this and with a brute of a goalscorer, they have a player would would get in plenty of many more fancied sides in Germany and if they can stick in games, his presence should give them a puncher's chance. Their fans are going to relish every moment and clearly enjoyed the trek to the stadium.

What a day for it!

Stuttgart Arena is playing host this afternoon and already there are plenty of fans inside the stadium to soak up every bit of atmosphere. Three points today would be enormous in what looks on paper like it could be a tight group, especially between England's opponents if the Three Lions progress top as anticipated.
