    @kiwipie said in Euros:

    Even game until the 2nd half and then England dominated from there and the Danes looked pooped. Not to mention, England bring on star subs and the Danes bring on a pair from Brentford.

    Foul on Kane looked a pen to me - but Kane generally does too much falling over.
    Sterling's wasn't a pen and VAR did review but they have been reluctant to over-turn in the Euros. If was the lightest of brushes and Sterling was already descending and I wonder what the ref would have done if sent to the monitor. Kasper unlucky with Kane's dreadful pen and had a great game.
    Sterling best on show, Kane provided best moments when he came deep (pass for Saka and a couple of others) but he did it too much and all it meant was that there was nobody in the centre.
    Pickford is definitely due a blunder that costs a goal, he seems to be getting more and more dodgy.
    Looking forward to the final - both semis were great and the final should be similarly good.
    Good on Denmark, they have added a lot to this tournament since their near tragic start.
    Good on England, didn't crumble when going a goal down.
    England's first final since 1966 ......

    thanks for that confirmation on the Sterling foul about VAR, I am still surprised that was allowed to stand it was a shocker in my eyes. Like it has been mentioned from the parts I watched it was shame it came to that, as Sterling looked in great form up to that point on merit.

    The Danish player dived and earned the free kick that they scored off. And England had a very strong penalty shout disallowed not long before Sterling's soft pen. That's football, England played better and deserved the win

    lol since when does two wrongs make a right work, just because other decisions were touch and go doesnt mean you ignore the other. If you see my other post you can see I agree England were the better side and probably deserved the win, but was calling out that whole passage of play was probably worse than the others. You always get shit decisions in every sport, I get that, I just thought this one was right up there. Then to hear also post match about the second ball on the pitch in the same area at the time (not allowed), the crazy fan who was shining lazers.., Kasper even more of a legend to even block the penalty.

    Crazy finish ..but good luck to England and Italy regardless

    Phil Foden a doubt for tomorrow's big game. I think Southgate might start with Grealish, go for the early goal and hope the noisy crowd becomes the 12th man for England.

    So are we for the eyeties or the poms?

    Italy have played the best football but I think I’m actually going to support the English here. Not least because Italy’s trophy cabinet is not what you’d call bare. Southgate seems like a jolly decent chap too.

    Why do you say that? I've been much more entertained watching England.

    Just my opinion. But I make no claims to being an expert. I like their rapid counterattacking.

    I might be a bit more of an expert I guess.

    I like the way England kicky round thingy runny.

    I feel there is a gaping home in this analysis. Neither have been in recent starting 11s, so who is dropping out of the 11 for Grealish?

    @Rapido Foden was starting games at the beginning of the tournament. Grealish started against the Czech Republic and played a prominent role off the bench against Germany.

    Finals are time for leaders. Henderson and Grealish (both club captains) in the starting line-up. Rice and Saka can sit on the bench.

    Pickford, Shaw, Stones, Maguire, Walker, Phillips, Mount, Henderson, Sterling, Grealish, Kane
