England v Denmark | Euro 2020 Semi Final

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Shaw has to done well to get his career back on track this season. Been good last few games. Can’t see Southgate tinkering much now.

Denmark underated and have got better as the tourmenment has progressed. Then again so have England, who also have a better squad and home advantage so you would have to fancy th

This game will be very difficult because the Danes are getting better with every game and will relish this tie but England’s hone advantage will carry them though .

 

[Paul1970]

What did I miss last night??

5 live radio saying Sancho is undroppable after last night?

Really?

He was ok but now he is signing for Utd he is the best player ever and in fact he will get knighted after this tournament.

I thought they dropped off a bit against the Czechs and looked more and more leggy as the game went on.

If England win the tournament then its all down to the utd players.
Maguire is really innocent.
Jadon is the greatest Premier league transfer/signing since....er cantona
Luke Shaw as the physique every young footballer in the country aspires to
Sir Marcus should be our next PM.

To be fair, Shaw has been decent for England in the Euro's. Southgate must have promised him an all you can eat buffet if we win it.

I thought they dropped off a bit against the Czechs and looked more and more leggy as the game went on.

I think that was down to the conditions they had to play in over in Baku. Sweltering heat, long travel etc. Both teams were completely zapped of any energy in the last 20 minutes. Mental to have Baku as one of the locations for this tournament.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Could we loan Foden to Denmark for him to get some game time?

This semi-final worries me, Denmark are a good side and since Hjulmand took charge they have lost 4 times, 3 of those v Belgium the other v Finland, which we can all write off. They've played us twice in that time, drawing in Denmark and beating us at Wembley.

What concerned me during that first half v Ukraine was that we didn't really have an answer to the Ukraine's change in formation. The early second half goal from a set piece changed it all, causing a very inferior Ukraine side to be more expansive which we then exploited and had Foden/Grealish been subbed on we could have had 5 or 6.

This is arguably Southgate's biggest test. Although favorites to beat to Germany he set us up not to lose, it worked out in the end, but against Denmark they'll be expectations he sets us up to win. Playing at home should be advantageous but, if we're struggling to break them down or (heaven forbid) losing, it could have a negative impact.

I don't foresee Denmark setting themselves up to be too adventurous against us, and I imagine they'll be quite happy for it to go to pens. They'll pretty much mirror Scotland but with better players. Shut down our wide players, force us to play through the middle and Kane to drop deep, they're big enough and experienced enough at the back to deal with our set-piece threat.

On Foden, I fear he will be this generations Scholes. Clearly England's best player but constantly shafted to accommodate others.

Still it's a Semi-Final and regardless of my thoughts on Southgate, it's hard not to get excited about what could be.

Come on England, bring it home!
