English fans couldn't ask for a better performance than Saturday's Ukraine game. When Kane scored the first goal at under four minutes, the game was never in doubt. At halftime the score was still 1-0, but that just made the outcome more satisfying. A blowout might have been more fun at that point, but 1-0 kept you on the edge of your seats.
Good to see Rashford get off the bench, but still no Foden nor Grealish??
Italy without Spinazzola and and Denmark without Eriksen-looks like the stars are aligning for someone. My updated prediction:
Hell freezes over, England wins EURO 2020/1

What a great game tonight, unusual for a semi-final. Have to feel sorry for Spain, always hard to go out on penalties, especially at this stage of a tournament. Still have bad memories of England losing the 1990 World Cup semi on penalties so commiserations to Spain, they played well.
Whoever wins tomorrow between England and Denmark will have to be on top form to beat the Italians in the final.
Latest betting best odds
Italy 5/6
England 6/4
Denmark 10/1

I just cannot call a penalty on that incident, in overtime, in a semifinal match, in a major cup competition.
NO
WAY

Yes, it was a dodgy penalty, no doubt about it. Having watched football all my long life I've seen all teams on the wrong side of bad decisions. Saying that England should have had one earlier when Kane was taken down. I'll also mitigate things by saying that England were the better team and deserved the win.
Denmark should be proud of what they have done throughout the tournament and made things incredibly tough for England. Losing their star player early in the tournament in horrendous circumstances was a huge blow. Their fans were superb and they, and their team, were a credit to their nation.
Sunday will be an incredible day, the first time England have reached a major final since 1966, they won that one, let's hope for the same again. I can't split the teams and just hope it's a good game.
England - 4/5
Italy - Evens

Agreed....even though I don't think he was fouled, Sterling was easily the man of the match.
It will be tough to beat The Azuri, but playing at home will help.

You realise you get paid on the score after 90 minutes right.

Today's match was 1-1 after 90 minutes.
Your selection was a loser.
Perhaps you should refrain from posting on things you clearly have no idea about.

The nerves are now setting in. The atmosphere over here is superb and the whole country is going crazy. All over the TV at the moment and as I write they are showing the teams leaving their hotels and thousands are out to wave them off. It's going to be a close game and I wouldn't like to predict the winner. Two very good sides. Whatever the result let's hope for a good clean game.
COME ON ENGLAND
