Night King Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 To be fair all 4 semi finalists played their 3 group games at home so it’s hard to argue that we’ve not been given a huge Advantage. In regards to Italy they do look a very good side but if we do meet in the final we shouldn’t go into that home game worrying about them, they’re no better then we are. Got a funny feeling Spain will knock them out anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreshOwl Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) And actually it is us vs them. We’re going to war these next two games! (In the footballing sense before someone gets offended) Edited July 4, 2021 by FreshOwl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is literally what a lot of Twitter is about regarding fans opinions.. You'll find many opinions on English fans calling the Italians cheats and the Spanish lucky for sneaking through on penalties. People who actually write about football for a living across Europe have praised England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreshOwl Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 I just thought it was interesting seeing the comments and views that’s all. Like sometimes when Wednesday play Huddersfield for example you’ll see a thread in match day on the opinions they have on us on their forum. christ, touchy bunch you lot! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am worrying about the final at this point. Yes I shouldn’t get ahead of myself, but with everything considered we should really be putting Denmark to the sword too at a packed Wembley. So many nations crying about our ‘unfair advantage’ having most games at home. How did that work out for: Brazil WC 2014? Embarrassed by Germany 1-7 France Euro 2016? Lost in the final Germany WC 2006? Lost to Italy in the SF Portugal in 2004 taking it Greek style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The early second half goal broke their back and they had nothing left in the tank. Both teams looked knackered in the Denmark-Czech game towards the end, the heat definitely took it out of them. Denmark are a better side than Ukraine though and will offer a threat to our defensive record. We are favourites but will have to be on it.

They have played some good football and have been quite free scoring. 4-1 and 4-0 victories are testament to that. They will have momentum just like England have at the moment It will be the toughest test so far, similar situation to WC semi when England came unstuck. The home advantage may help swing it Englands way though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Errol Flashman Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 A poor, and knackered Ukraine side. Missing one of their best players and then a critical injury which changed their shape and left more holes to be exploited. Still. Cracking result and performance. You can only beat what's put in front of you as my old gaffer used to say. Denamarks change of shape after Erikkson has made them look a tougher breakdown. Couple of concerns if they can get in round the sides as Ukraine actually did the odd time yesterday. Have enough to beat them. We have a great depth for the first time in my lifetime and players who can say different systems if in game change is required. Should win. Only thing in my head against a decent win is that feeling that Denamrk have somehow been mentally galvanised by what went on earlier. Just a bloke. Being dragged along in a world that moves too quick for it's own good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
