I'll take the win and enjoy it. Anyone know the odds on a 2 ~ 0 win. ? Didn't have it unfortunately.


I'm last in the prediction league. It's as well I don't gamble!

I did predict that England would win by 2 goals and was right and after seeing tonight's game I see even less of a threat than Germany were and see how easily they were dispatched.
England to win by at least 2 goals again- get your selves geared up for a semi at Wembley.

Could have told you before the tournament to watch out for Italy and Denmark. Two really good teams who have played well and have a chance just like everyone else left.

That game today I think was the best we've played all tournament, really good game and the whole team played really well. Still a long way to go, Ukraine in the quarter-finals on Saturday and if we overcome them we could be playing Denmark and the Czech's.

If you thought England Expected before then the expectation level has gone through the roof now.

Again I was right to say England would win by at least 2 goals and got £80 back from the bookies by betting on them.
Denmark are a different proposition altogether and I expect a really close game, probably going to penalties. I'm looking forward to this game with a bottle or two of ice cold lager to keep me company.

Nice result for you!!

If the Denmark from the 2nd half of their game is the one that we face then we will win easily, they were terrible in the 2nd half. If our 2nd half performance of today is repeated then again we will win. It will be close if both first half teams are the ones that turn up though!!

Chris Sutton predicted a 4~0 win , not sure if he visited the bookies but the odds would have been good. Good win however with plenty of talent left on the bench or watching the game . Denmark will of course will be stiffer competition.

Denmark are very strong at centre back and they have performed above themselves several times, but Finland were, at least, holding them when Eriksen collapsed. They came out like lions against Belgium, but when Belgium put on their top players there was only one side in it. They then beat a very poor side easily, walked it against a modest side, but despite good moments against the Czechs, the result could easily have gone the other way. A fortunate draw has carried them a long way. Much better sides have gone home. Be honest!

The truth is this England side will disappoint even the most realistic supporters if they don't beat Denmark. The main worry is that Denmark have spent the last two years at least developing a winning habit, including beating us. There are several individuals in the Danish set-up who not only wouldn't get near the England squad if they were English, they wouldn't be attracting much Premier League interest either. But they do their job in this team. The question is can our better individuals stay together as a team sufficiently well to impose themselves on the Danes.

Last night I was particularly worried by Jordan Pickford, who looked on the verge of panic all night. He'd done pretty well against Germany and earlier really, but I have this suspicion that he has now developed enough insight to question his own ability, which is fatal in a keeper. I think he used to put fumbles behind him in sheer stupid self-belief, now he's remembering errors. In the first half he shovelled away a tame shot like a six year on his first go in goal. Second half he read a through ball really well, missed it and only by sheer good fortune avoided conceding. Then, faced with a snap shot straight at him he punched it away like a continental goalie from the 1960s. Why knock it back in such a way you've no idea where it is going? Surely as an England keeper your reflexes are sharper than that and muscle memory will take over and help you get hold of the goddam hot potato. He hasn't let a goal in. His confidence ought to be sky-high. Neuer's would. But last night he looked as though he was thinking, "fcku-ups overdue". It is very easy to talk yourself into a mistake in goal ..... If I were Denmark I'd pressure him big time.

Well what a final that was. First final in 55 years for England and even though we didn't win it, it's still a success in my eyes. Southgate, the players, everyone associated with the England team did us proud and they can hold their heads up high. Unfortunately the final will be overshadowed and always remembered because of the morons who caused trouble and racially abused Saka, Rashford and Sancho.

The 2030 World Cup bid by Great Britain and Ireland is probably finished, can't see UEFA giving England any more tournaments to host whether that's Euro's or Champions League.
