Think there will be more pressure on England tomorrow night than the final should they get there.
People are expecting them to win against Denmark where if they play Italy they could be classified as the underdogs.

Re: EURO 2020 / 2021 CHAT
Whoever are Italy's opponents in the final are in for a very tough game. Unbeaten in 33 games says almost everything you need to know about the Azzurri.
That said, at times tonight Spain appeared to have them on the ropes and must be bitterly disappointed not to have won it over 120 minutes.

Re: EURO 2020 / 2021 CHAT
it's disappointing right now Spain didn't win or won't feature in another Final game tournament, it's the nation I root for in these scenarios, but think if they had got through today they wouldn't have won the competition, fallen at the end game stage etc. Italy should prove a tougher test for the English when they face off on Sundays main event. It's tough right now, disappointed with it, but you got to think of the greater good. Still be pleased enough when the goddamn thing is done with and over.

Re: EURO 2020 / 2021 CHAT
I am sure the Danes might have something to say about that! That will be England's potential downfall.......thinking they are in the final before their semi-final has even kicked offsaint jude wrote: ↑Tue Jul 06, 2021 11:33 pmit's disappointing right now Spain didn't win or won't feature in another Final game tournament, it's the nation I root for in these scenarios, but think if they had got through today they wouldn't have won the competition, fallen at the end game stage etc. Italy should prove a tougher test for the English when they face off on Sundays main event.

Us English know all about disappointment. In the last World Cup, I thought a semi-final against Croatia was winnable compared to a tie against Brazil or France or Italy or one of those truly big football nations, but we got truly shown up.
It’s a funny old game, Saint.

Even when we have a good team, I don’t consider us one of the big gun football nations. Same with Belgium. Even when they are ranked first and have great players, I’m not sure they truly mentally believe they can win it.

I think Denmark will fancy their chances. I’m not sure we’re that solid at the back and we’ve had luck with Pickford saves/missed chances. And I can see us getting frustrated against a resolute defence. Getting an early goal would settle nerves, but can’t see Denmark allowing an early goal like Ukraine.

Re: EURO 2020 / 2021 CHAT
well well - thought Spain were by far the better team and they really should have wrapped things up earlier, but missed 2 easy chances.
Just goes to prove what a lottery penalties can be - I never ever liked the golden goal when it was in operation but now I'm not so sure, maybe an unlimited period of extra time until a goal is scored would be a better alternative to penalties.
Just goes to prove that England can take nothing for granted against the Danes - being the better team is clearly no guarantee of going through.
But - if we DO make it, I think we will overrun Italy in the final.

Re: EURO 2020 / 2021 CHAT
For someone who at the start of this competition said they had “no Godamm interest in it” you seem to be doing the exact opposite. Maybe I’ve missed the obvious but exactly what nationality are you SJ and why do you so resent the success of our National football team ? Maybe it’s just jealousy, or is it something completely different, I’d really like to understand why you think the way you do.saint jude wrote: ↑Tue Jul 06, 2021 11:33 pmit's disappointing right now Spain didn't win or won't feature in another Final game tournament, it's the nation I root for in these scenarios, but think if they had got through today they wouldn't have won the competition, fallen at the end game stage etc. Italy should prove a tougher test for the English when they face off on Sundays main event.

Re: EURO 2020 / 2021 CHAT
The only time I really like seeing this flag is in a restaurant. Love the food but never really taken to the people but that’s one better than France where I dislike both.
This said I’ve had some wonderful times in both Countries but Italy is definitely more special and has it all with Mountains, Lakes and a spectacular coastline and some wonderful Cities too, not least Rome and Florence. Just love the Amalfi Region especially between Positano and Amalfi which takes in your wife’s favourite spot Marko, your lady definitely has great taste. I’ve still never been to the Italian Lakes but it’s high up on the list of places still to visit.
Despite rooting for Spain last night I’ll be more than happy with an Italy v England final which I think would be an interesting contest, but this is far from a foregone conclusion.
Like all of us I’m really looking forward to tonight’s game and think we should have enough in the locker to go through although Kasper Schmeichel may have different ideas, just hope he doesn’t play a blinder.
