## Discipline

Fair play points were used as a tiebreaker between Denmark and Slovenia, as they were tied on their head-to-head and overall results and a penalty shoot-out was not applicable as a tiebreaker. These were calculated based on yellow and red cards received by players and team officials in all group matches as follows:
* yellow card = 1 point
* red card as a result of two yellow cards = 3 points
* direct red card = 3 points
* yellow card followed by direct red card = 4 points
Only one of the above deductions was applied to a player or team official in a single match.
| Team | Match 1 | Match 2 | Match 3 | Points |
| England | | 1 | 3 | –4 |
| Denmark | 1 | 3 | 2 | –6 |
| Slovenia | 3 | 2 | 2 | –7 |
| Serbia | 3 | 4 | 2 | –9 |
* ↑ Count includes a card from a technical staff member of the team.
