They've had a favorable draw so far.

Group play that had Finland and Russia to beat out, then beat Wales and czech republic. Not exactly a hard road.

I think if Denmark wins it needs to be in the 90 min

If it gets to extra time and PKs that’s a big advantage for the English being the home side.

I mean comparing similar opponents:

England 1 Czech Republic 0
Denmark 2 Czech Republic 1

I didn't get to see the England/Czech game but did see the Czechs become a bit of a handful for the Danes at times.

It would be kind of funny for the English to go on and win this all with the only team getting a result from them being the Scottish.

Im not gonna say England has looked good thus far, I just think England has the skill to get it going at any time, plus Denmark has gotten a little lucky to have gotten this far

I don't think Denmark has been lucky. They are stupid talented.

This on paper will be England's biggest matchup. Germany was ok tbh but the Danes are hitting on all cylinders

All I can think of now with that gif is Frank saying "that's a botch job!" In this case, England, not toe knife related.

Is this a common takeaway from the game? Perhaps I’m a moron but he missed a sitter and was mediocre at best for a lot of the game, at least from the one I watched.



He was involved in the build-up but he didn't do anything decisive. The key to the English attack is the Sterling-Shaw axis, and thus it is hard for the right-sided players to make an impact. The difference between perceptions of he and Saka was literally the dribble that Saka completed against the Czech Republic where he glided away from the Czech midfield, whereas Sancho had one really nice dribble, but was marked out of the game. Looking back, Saka probably earned the MOTM against the Czech's because of that dribble and because he went extremely defensive and had a clearance that the commentators noted.

Otherwise, the English team isn't really designed for their talents, as Sancho can't get very many 1 v 1 opportunities because the RB is generally pinned deeper or is very close to him, with fewer overlaps on the right as compared to the left. Sancho isn't going to displace Raheem at the moment on the left, and I guess Southgate will value Saka's defensive nous on the right more than production.

Saka won't get very many chances to carry the ball from deep because his position is more advanced than the one he plays for Arsenal, where he can carry if he's deployed as a wingback on either side, or as a LB. Even his dribble against the Czechs was when he received the ball facing the game and could carry the ball into space.

Yeah they have some very talented players, and a very competent midfield. Delaney-Hojbjerg is a good midfield duo.

Impossible. We all know the Euros are just seven brutal games in a row.

I wasn't surprised the German anthem was booed, but I didn't expect the Danish anthem to be booed.

England fans appear to be the Mexican fans of Europe in that regard.

calling anything the Mexicans of anything never gets old

if the first 5 minutes are any indicator, England might win by 5 goals
