Bring on some pace and go at these lot, they're there for the taking, but we're being slow and ponderous. Baffling.
Semi-Finals: Italy vs Spain | England vs Denmark
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
So despite the refs best efforts, Denmark manage to hold on for extra time.
Good try though.
Good try though.
You watch Kane rolling around and realize that probably no neutral wants England to win this.
Like to see Sancho on …but for who
This is a done deal. Denmark are out on their feet. No way they survive another 30 mins with the prospect of Sancho and Rashford to come on.
Sancho for Mount, possibly Rashford for Sterling, and anyone for Rice wouldn't be so bad.
I still do not understand why Rice is rated. He is dreadful.

Schmeichel spent over a minute for the goal kick. He event pointed to his watch. Also it is MINIMUM added time.
The extra time compared to Italy v Belgium game totally ridiculous...
Kane is very tired. He had a brilliant game, but England need a fresh and focused CF to finish just one of the numerous chances Grealsih and Sancho (hopefully) will create.
Southgate is indeed a coward. Should have tried to win it in the main time. Italu willl have had 1 more day for rest
Rashford, Sancho, Foden and DCL all sitting on the bench is mystifing.
Henderson for Phillips is the next sub.

Extra time nulifies last night aswell, Italy will go into final playing just 30 more minutes than England in tournament and they rested pretty much the whole team for the Wales match.
Italy 60-40 favourites if it's England, about 75-25 Denmark.
I feel sick.
Don't know much about him, only that he plays for Leeds.
Denmark will struggle to hang in during ET, they look dead on their feet. Hold out for pens is their only chance.
If England get Sancho for one of the DMs in they'll win it

You can't judge it on the last 21 games though. There's very little attacking threat at the minute
Pace will do feck all, they're in bus park mode so zero space.
Perfect time for Sancho to come on and pressure the tired Danish defenders.
Southgate getting ready to do an Ole and get subs on at the end of the 2nd half of extra time for penalties?
I still can’t for the life of me understand that Maguire yellow card & that clear pen on Kane. Baffling calls.
Aye Denmarks antics have been heroic.
Should have.. but when you only play 3 attack minded players that's hard. Only getting into it more toward the end because the Danes were getting tired.
It’s insane, should have received a few yellows each.The diving from Kane and Sterling is amazing to me
Easy, Mount. Next question.
Its minimum added time, not maximum.
Sancho and Rashy
Even without it that’d probably have been the case anyway.
Why is it? Who do you take off?
Rules applicable only for Barca? Anyway, it was a rhetorical question. What I really wanted to say is "Braithwaite is shit"
Harry Kane is going to be (even more) knackered for the final if he plays the full half hour here
Hopefully rediscovered his mojo, his record had been a bit rubbish for us
Fourth official should sound a klaxon when the added on time has expired, and then the next time the ball goes out of play, the game is over.
Although we should have done a lot more with those final few seconds. Spent about 30 seconds just preparing for the throw-in, which is mad. When you've got such little time left, somebody has to have an effort on goal. You have to just go for it at that point.
We go live to England's full time team talk...
Please tell me he's making a sub.
This match has penalties written all over it.
He’s judging it on 21 because it’s 2 goals in his previous 45 before that.
the game would have finished earlier if playing in the other team was attacking...
meanwhile yesterday 2 counter attacks were cut in the same second we got to the extra time...

That's if Southgate actually brings them on. He's shown time and again that he's terrified of making subs, would rather have 11 zombies out there than have to actually make a decision.
Mount
Denmark is done they don’t have legs anymore
