COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Denmark will extend temporary controls at its border with Germany by 30 days to June 2, the Ministry for Immigration, Integration and Housing said on Monday. The government first implemented temporary border controls on Jan. 4 as a reaction to similar steps from Sweden in response to an influx of migrants from the Middle East and Africa. The government still sees control as necessary to avoid accumulation of illegal immigration in Denmark, the ministry said in a statement. (Reporting by Ole Mikkelsen; Editing by Alison Williams)

Trent Alexander-Arnold has become emblematic of this England side: full of noble intentions, but hopelessly confused in his delivery and ultimately going nowhere very quickly. The fault lies as much with the manager as the player. This natural right-back’s unease as a central midfielder was painfully evident during this grisliest of draws, begging the question why Gareth Southgate had deployed him there in the first place. He lasted only 54 minutes, a tacit acknowledgment that this experiment ha
