Top shithousery. I wasn’t too happy with our Harry either when he dived for the free kick that got us our second but what can you do?
Give them bans after the game. For some things it will be difficult, but that Immobile one should be punished.
The Denmark story has been great. But we should be too much for them given our current form uptick. I can't see how our current defensive unit suddenly crumbles against the strengths of the Danes. Especially after tonight's game. The Italians are another story from that point of view so can our attackers score against the Danes?....... Yes.
The difference in fitness levels between Denmark/England going into Wednesday game could be decisive. Denmark players looked knackered in the last 25-30 minutes against Czech Republic while England were able to make wholesale changes to key players while playing the quarter finals effectively at a walking pace for the last 25 minutes, while having a short plane journey compared to Denmark's 2,500mile trip. Spain/Italy game is looking to be a great game, and if Italy go through, you can't begrudge them if they win the whole tournament, playing two tough teams in a row (Belgium/Spain).
Another team that’s already lost 2, so I can’t see anything other than another England win. The yellows have been cleared and Harry has got his mojo back. It will no doubt be another nervy game for the fans (they always are) but with the possible exception of Pickford it doesn’t seem to phase our players. I’ll go for another 2-0 win and look forward to seeing England in a Final for the first time.
You could do a sweepstake in Leicester games for what minute the commentators mention who Kasper's dad was. There's not a single Leicester game goes by where it doesn't get mentioned. It must be so annoying for him. Back when we were in the Championship, opposition fans would say "he's overrated, living off his dad's name all the time". He's had a great career. Won the Premier League and FA Cup. Danish Player of the Year 4 times being in sides which have reached the WC quater-finals and semi-finals. Will go down as one of Leicester's greatest ever legends. Probably go down as one of Denmark's greatest ever players too, though I'm not in as good a place to say anything about that. If anything his name holds his reputation back and I think he'd be regarded much better if it wasn't for his dad, the amount of people who say "good keeper... what about his dad though?" as the first talking point about Kasper just gets annoying. Which other player in world football has to live with being constantly compared to arguably the greatest player ever to play in his position every single game the same way Kasper does? And constantly being talked down by not being as good as him, rather than just judging him on his own merit? I remember reading once that Ian Botham's son was an extremely good cricketer at youth levels but decided to give the game up and play rugby instead (even though he was by all accounts a much better cricketer than he was a rugby player) when he got older because he was tired of constantly being talked down by people comparing him to his dad and saying "you're good but you're dad was something else..."
I'm afraid the run is about to end. Denmark will score against us ending our no goals conceded record. But we will too ruthless in attack, I fancy Kane to grab at least one. My prediction: England 3 Denmark 1
Given up caring who plays , just as long as they win .Quite happy watching Jack sit it out as long as the team wins .Happy in the knowledge he has done his bit .
It’s quite funny how for the last year in the build up the media have been saying how Grealish has to play, “he’s our Gazza”, and then turned to Foden and how “he has to play, he’s our Gazza”. And neither of them are currently first choice. It’s great having that calibre of player on the bench, ready to change the game if needed. As we’ve seen.
Probably gives him more of a chance to look online at houses in the Manchester suburbs for when the tournament ends ! I think he'll get some minutes on Wednesday , just probably not a start or they'll bring him on for the penalty shoot out . Weird how we're playing like the ol' skool Italy by retaining possession & being tight as a ducks ar*e at the back .
