Read our privacy policy Gareth Southgate stressed the importance of blocking out background noise as England look to seal Euro 2024 progress with a game to spare. “There’s no point having a rule because young men are going to use social media, in a positive way in the main,” Southgate said. “Millions of people in your own country, extensive media coverage, social media, one guy writing a comment on social media gets put in a newspaper now, that’s a story. My job is to keep the players on track.” Vice-captain Kyle Walker sat alongside Southgate in Frankfurt, where England will seal a place in the knockout phase if they beat Euro 2020 semi-final opponents Denmark.
