We are attending the final part of the Eurocopa 2020 group zone, which for the known reasons of the pandemic will take place in 2021.

The main candidates for the round of 16 continue to qualify.

This time it was Group D's turn and England and Croatia classified as first and second respectively and the Czech Republic as one of the best third.

England, unlike the top finishers in their groups so far, managed to score seven points against Italy's nine in group A, Belgium in group B and the Netherlands in group C.

It was without a doubt, along with group F, one of the most difficult and with extreme paerity in the forces. And indeed, Scotland, the weakest of the group, was eliminated.

Group D Standings

Czech Republic 0 - England 1

England celebrate the winning goal.

At the historic Wembley Stadium, England beat the Czech Republic (which despite the defeat was able to qualify as the best third) by 1 to 0

The goal was converted by Raheem Sterling and gave the pass to those led by Gareth Southgate as the first group. Recall that Steerling is in conflict with Manchester City and has been declared transferable by his club.

The early goal (12 'into the first half) gave the English team the peace of mind to manage the game, an aspect in which they are true specialists.

Possession of the ball, lateralization of the steps, back passes and counterattack when the opportunity presented itself against a Czech Republic that could never find an effective solution to the problem.

He has been even the most conservative of those selected with a fierce defense (no goal suffered) but with only two goals scored in his favor in the three games played.

A very difficult team to violate defensively like Italy, but unlike this one with very little scoring ability.

Croatia 3- Scotland 1

Croatia celebrate the second goal by Luka Modric.

Czech Republic at the hand of Luka Modric saved Croatia from a difficult moment and later Perisic gave definitive figures to the match.

Until that moment Scotland had been a more than worthy rival and had even overcome the initial 1-0 to tie the game shortly after the end of the first half.

The second half showed a nervous and indecisive Croatia without sufficient arguments to overcome the Scottish defensive fence that began in midfield.

But Croatia has Luka Modric the real Madrid midfielder. And it was Modric precisely who made the game uneven, scoring the goal from 2 to 1 and assisting Ivan Perisic to sign the third and give his team the necessary peace of mind.

Scotland was once again out of the competition, a stigma that haunts them at the World Cups and at the Euro Cups.

In this way, Croatia consolidated its triumph against a Scotland unable to react after the third goal and thus signed its pass to the round of 16 as second in their group.
