FRANKFURT, Germany (Reuters) - Denmark coach Kasper Hjulmand has decided to reward his players with a much-needed day off after their Euro 2024 draw against England on Thursday, suggesting they spend Saturday creating an atmosphere of "hygge" - a Danish word meaning to enjoy warmth and comfort - for themselves.

Beaten by England in the Euro 2020 semi-finals, the Danes put in an enormous physical effort against them en route to a 1-1 draw that leaves them in second spot in the group ahead of their last game against Serbia in Munich on Tuesday.
