Semifinal: England v Denmark (in London, UK)

[weeman27bob]

I think it's fair enough to feel aggrieved conceding a goal from a questionable referee decision for a soft foul. But sometimes you get lucky I suppose.

And then somehow after that decision, England managed to score two goals to come back and win.

What a game so far and an amazing crowd, hope Wembley can be full for the final. Can't beat the atmosphere British crowds create.

Really?

I don't know, last night's match was of much higher quality. England despite the soft penalty deserved to win, a much superior side and dominated the game and its better for the event that the superior side is through.

I've got money on Italy from ages ago to win this , so fully expect England to win 5-0.

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kasper MOTM probably, eat it haters.

England deserved to win, Schmeichel didn't deserve to lose but the rest of the Danes weren't up to much

 

[grecian]

I'll give them credit, that last 5 minutes was superb.

So big of you

This English team is a lot more likeable than their mid 00s team and wouldn't have minded them winning that penalty against Italy or Spain at all but it's brutal for an underdog Denmark.

Don't think James said that this match was better than yesterday, so odd comment.

Haha never a pen but well done England

 

[Athlai]

I hear somethings coming home

Agree wouldn't have minded the questionable penalty against Italy who are great at diving themselves but feels unfair against denmark

I thought they were pretty decent tbh, just not as good as England and ran out of gas

I mean Denmark were hardly gonna be the ones to get a lucky penalty, they couldn’t get out of their own half.

Understandable that they were exhausted after the tournament they’ve had, I really wouldn’t have fancied them against Italy.

First half was a good game, kind of a shame they tired so badly.

I thought Denmark were actually pretty cynical, tactical fouls, time-wasting, if it wasn't for the fairytale story people would be less forgiving, but don't blame them that was their best chance to win, so fair enough.

Yeah thought they played really well first half. England clearly better after that though, never a penalty but I think they were going to score anyway.

Where's Mags? Can't bear to start that thread with England in the Final.

Fair point. I'd say for the first 60 minutes it was relatively even, but the last 60 minutes as all England.

Anyway congrats to England supporters on the epic 55 years in waiting win!

I'll probably support England over Italy in the final as they feel like the underdog at least in the grand scheme of the last few decades and I've never liked Italy in football. I guess there won't be as many epic meltdowns from the British press even if they lose in the final considering how far they have come so even that factor to want England to lose is ruled out.

Yeah it was a flukey decision, but it was just the one that happened to get given for playing everything after the hour mark in the Danish penalty area. If you're padding up to straight balls all day then sooner or later you're going to get given out.

Stats on the Beeb feed had 21 fouls from Demark to England's 10.

England will probably get belted in the final tbh

Nah. I can't see it not being close.
