Like always, England get through against mediocre teams but they'll have to beat a top tier team in Italy. Italy have beaten Belgium and Spain so two fast, technical and talented teams. England's toughest match was Scotland.

Sunday will either be a fantastic day seeing broken hearted English fans and players or it will be the worst football day since a very long time.

My gut feeling is the English will win the final, sorry to say. But Italia all the way.
This is by the far the worst 12 months of football I have ever lived through.

1. 6 minutes of extra time.
2. Being home
3. Denmark being without their best player.
4. Scoring via an own goal and penalty that never was.

Let's just embrace the inevitable. England are winning it.
Denmark seriously lacked individual quality. Two of the subs played in a Championship team last season. They had starters from Udinese and Sampdoria. Their forward scored 3 goals in 40 matches in La Liga.
As a team, they are disciplined, they fought and ran well, tactics were fine. But it's hard to compensate top quality with discipline and running. Sometimes it works, tonight it didn't.

Overall a good tournament from Denmark, but poor tactics in extra time.

The final's going to be a close match imo. Really hoping Italy pull off a convincing win.
They just don't have much depth in quality - a pretty decent starting 11 and nothing behind them. Once the starters got tired, they changed tactics to clog the midfield, close the game down and try to force PKs. After they fell behind, they just didn't have the players needed to turn it around.

Italy should win pretty easily. Southgate will be conservative again and England doesn’t have the defense to withstand a long attack

Add Leonardo Spinazzola's injury to the luck that England has had. I am beginning to believe in this jinx and anti jix thing you people have gone on about all these years.
