Denmark did look dangerous from set pieces. Cramming everyone on the line for corners and the obvious cleverness with the free-kick. In open play, they lacked zip.
Supposedly they are on about making a Monday a bank holiday if we win, though not sure how that works if England don't win, not like everyone can undrink the twenty pints.
No chance that can happen at this short notice.
Not sure the fabled 'business leaders' will be signing off on that.
Even when Denmark had spells of lots of possession and "threat" they didn't actually look like scoring much. The nerves were there on a 'How are we going to England this?' basis but we were absolutely the better team and in however many extra times I've seen us go to that was far and away the most composed we've ever looked.
Though I have vague memories of us largely controlling the game (without looking like scoring, of course) in extra time in 2006 despite being a man down. Is that just my decrepit memory telling me lies?
Surely any talk of a bank holiday is from 2022 onwards?
Not bad for the worst team to potentially win the Euros ever.
That's probably including all the touches of their own shins as they pretended to go down and be hurt so slightly misleading.
Denmark, who scored ten goals in their previous three games, had zero shots from inside the penalty area in 120 minutes. It was a dominant showing and it makes the recurrence of Yev hysteria all the stranger.
How does everyone rate the tournament thus far? Out of the 40+ games I've watched I can only recall two or three genuine shitters.
I've really enjoyed it for the most part. I am slightly biased as I love international tournaments anyway and after months of dead football which has felt meaningless it was just nice to get even the initial, small crowds back and games which felt like they had stakes. I don't think there have been any great teams but there are a bunch of fun ones and even some of the less good games have had fun moments or built to good closing periods which is kinda what matters really.
England's contribution to that has been mixed. I didn't see the Scotland game but the Croatia/Czech games were so serene I barely felt anything which was odd and you'd think not feeling the terror would be good but it robbed the games of something. To be honest even through the Germany and Denmark games I have mostly felt quite calm as well because they've looked composed so specifically from an England standpoint it's been an unusual tournament.
I've really enjoyed it, but I think it's probably equal parts the quality of the games and having fans back in the stadium.Originally Posted by Manc
It's been fun, Italy and England in particular. International football is so much better than club wank, good job the World Cup is only another year or so away.
That'll be novel, watching tournament football while it's dark and absolutely pissing down outside.
The World Cup being in the winter is a bit of a shitter, mind. Load of wank.
Really good tournament. Still think France v Switzerland is up there with the best games I've ever seen.
If you think the Qatar World Cup will be bad, wait for the American one in 16 groups of 3.
Actually come around to this way of thinking...
Most international football is boring shit but the tournaments are as good as it gets.
If they played the qualifiers as a self-contained block rather than random 2 games here 2 games there, they would be a lot better too.
People who prefer international football over club football should be put on the sex offenders list.
As far as tournaments go it's the reverse for me. Even last night's x minutes of horror shits all over anything club football has to offer. I appreciate it might be different if I really cared about a club or one that did well, but the closest to that was Norwich in the early 90s and even though I was born there that's still miles away.
They're doing what?
Flawless plan.The FIFA Council have unanimously approved a 48-team World Cup from 2026 at a vote in Zurich.
The plans overseen by president Gianni Infantino mean the tournament will now begin with 16 groups of three teams, with the top two advancing into a 32 team knock-out stage.
Infantino has previously suggested FIFA could introduce penalty shoot-outs after group matches that end in a draw in order to stop teams playing for a result that favours them both.

I forgot about that. For fuck's sake.
Should have done 3 groups of 16, with the top 9 from each progressing to the 'Super 27'. From there we'll work it out somehow I guess.
I regret to confirm that the whisky is now catching up with me.
That sounds like more of a cricket world cup format.
Marca is at it as well. I don't think any of these countries are psychologically ready for England success.
Scotch or Bourbon?
Aberlour blended.
Actually it might have been a single malt. Whatever it was, it worked.
I was on the Auchentoshan.
The penalty was a blatant penalty, idk what all the mongs are whining about. I expect the vast majority of these people have never actually played football and don't understand how destabilising it is to be clipped when running with the ball at speed.
England fans are some breed. Make the Old Firm fans look like cricket boys from Surrey
Are you speaking from experience eh
The last time we won something with a compulsive liar in office... Hardly promising for the future.
LOL at the shirtless guy getting absolutely suckerpunched.
I'm a twit
Tell us more about your professional career.
I don’t even know where he came from. Must have circled round the crowd and hit him with the swiftest flank of 2021. More of the same
On Sunday pls
A few pissed-up mongs in a beer garden have a punch-up but they're English so that's definitely worse than the lads who wanted to trash their own city to celebrate a Rangers title win. If you want to have a dig at England fans stick with the much easier target of the masses of racists making themselves known.
The bitterness up here today is weapons-grade. Those of you who seem to live for the seethe of others would be having a grand old time.
You alright hun
Rangers fans are just England fans to be fair. The same breed. Why do they always start smacking the fuck out of each other? It’s always the same. Even for club football when they go abroad. Proper weirdos
Yes, the experience of being tripped at speed is exclusive to professional footballers.
I believe the correct spelling is 'u alrite hun xxx.'
"Why do they always start smacking the fuck out of each other?"
If you're looking for a deeper answer than "If you give a lot of very stupid people a lot of alcohol then eventually they'll have a fight" I don't have one for you.
Did you get the penalty or were you called out for diving
VAR doesn't give it if it isn't given on the pitch I don't think, there was no smoking gun/step on foot frame to freeze. It probably was a foul though.
That's a special kind of retarded even for you.
I didn’t have you down as someone taking this personally.
Do elaborate, Sir. You won’t see a truer statement all week
Also, all football fans are bellends in mass groups. You just overlook it some times as you're either part of it, or are on the same side.
Most would pick a fight, if they were going to have one, with an opposition. Bit weird constantly fighting your own
