England have failed to advance from the group stage of the Euro Championship in five out of the last six competitionsEngland suffered injury-time heartbreak as a late Croatia goal saw them fail to make it out of their European Under-21 Championship group. Tempers spilt over after the final whistle, with Jones shown a red card amid a scuffle with Croatia players. Aidy Boothroyd's side, who have failed to advance from the group stage for two successive competitions, finished last in their group - level on points with Switzerland and Croatia but with Croatia edging the three-way head-to-head on goal difference. Five players failed a late fitness test including Ben Godfrey, Tom Davies and Emile Smith Rowe, forcing Boothroyd to make seven changes to his starting XI. Of course it's important and we want to win but to produce players and win tournaments at the same time is very difficult.
