England boss urges side to end semi-final hoodoo

Gareth Southgate is urging his England side to end their semi-final hoodoo by beating Denmark and reaching their first final since 1966.

England have fallen at the penultimate hurdle at major tournaments on four occasions since winning the World Cup in 1966.

The galling World Cup semi-final defeat to Croatia three years ago was the latest but Southgate believes his side have learned from that disappointment.

England faces Denmark at 7am Thursday while Italy will play Spain at 7am Wednesday.
