    Yeah and Sweden drew with Spain only to papped out by Ukraine.

    Germany and Croatia have been gash, Denmark who in comparison to the others was the most inform team they've faced and much like they did against Scotland, struggled to break through.

    Italy dispatch England without a doubt

    Italy look much weaker without spinazzola and dispatching England at Wembley in a final? That simply won’t happen, subs have been crucial this tournament and the Italian subs are inferior to the English subs this could be key as the Italians start to tire

    Italy are far more sound defensive unit than Denmark.

    Far better technically than Denmark and arguably can control the ball better with their passing.

    That England set up couldn't score against Scotland and struggled to see out the Danes.

    Italy will love defending against england and choking the game with their play.

    They beat England

    Funny that because Italy's subs have played a massive part so far in Chiesa, Pessina and Locatelli..

    Cool story though. We'll see if that arrogance holds..

    cant begrudge england the fact they got to the semis on merit but that dive last night was a * disgrace and the fact var looked at sterling falling over and still gave it has put a huge dent on what has otherwise enjoyable tournament.

    I'm hoping with everything I have that the ref for Sunday has clocked and thought these lot are off the scale, gives Italy a dodgy penalty that wins them it just to see the reactions. Would be glorious..

    One thing Denmark weren't last night, was cute. Italy are master's at play acting and the dark art's as well so hopefully they give the English a taste of their own medicine..

    Yeah i'm more confident about Italy on Sunday. They are the masters at scoring then slowing it down and controlling the game.

    I knew England would struggle last night,Denmark was the first proper test for them as Germany and Ukraine were a disgrace to the game.

    It took a dodgy Penalty with a shocking Ref/VAR incident to win it,throw in the small bullshit like 2 balls on the field and the keeper getting blinded by lasers....They probably Just deserved to win that,just.

    Italy will blow this lot away on Sunday.They started the tournament they will finish it.

    By far the best team in the Tournament.

    England alone can't really claim the credit for beating Denmark as they had clearly the help of officials who probably wanted and england Italy showcase final at wembly.

    ENGLAND HAVE BEEN charged by Uefa after Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel was targeted by a laser pointer moments before saving Harry Kane’s penalty during last night’s Euro 2020 semi-final at Wembley.

    Uefa have also charged England for their supporters causing “disturbance during the national anthem” and “the lighting of fireworks.”



    Uefa say the issue will be “dealt with” by the organisation’s Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body “in due course.”

    A laser pointer from the crowd appeared to target Schmeichel’s eyes just seconds before he stopped Kane’s penalty, only for the Tottenham striker to sweep home the rebound and book his country a place in their first major final in 55 years.

    Uefa have offered no further detail on the “disturbance during the national anthem” to which they allude, though the Danish anthem was distinctly booed by the English-majority Wembley crowd prior to kick-off. The jeering of the opposition’s anthem, however, is commonplace at England international football matches and is a trend for which they have not previously been charged

    Sam Matterface makes Clive Tyldesley look sound. Some of that commentary was cringeworthy.

    Out of all the teams they could have played I was hoping it would be Italy. They have the mental strength to deal with the cheating *. I hope Chiellini and Bonucci boot * out of Kane and Sterling.
