Royal support for the Danes and the English
Denmark's King Frederik X wants to travel to Germany for the Danes' second European Championship preliminary round match against England. The 55-year-old will be present in the Frankfurt Arena on Thursday, as confirmed by the royal family. The heir to the British throne, Prince William, will also be watching the game in the stadium.
Family message almost moves Morata to tears
Often criticized in Spain, national team captain Alvaro Morata has received an emotional message from his family ahead of the second European Championship group game. "I couldn't be prouder of you. You are the greatest fighter I have ever known in my life," said his wife Alice in a video played to the footballer by reporters from Spain's "Marca". "Every time you fall, you get up and are even stronger," said the wife of the Atlético Madrid professional. One of their children can also be seen in the video. "Our children are the proudest of you. Every time they see you on the pitch or on TV, they cry with emotion and keep saying 'that's my dad'. The 31-year-old admitted that he was touched by the message and couldn't really look at it, "because if I had concentrated on looking at their faces, I would have started crying for sure," Morata told Marca reporters.
