Pompeyboyz Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Having suffered 1990, 1996 and 2018 you would think I would be prepared for another crack with failure just being another day. But I am nervous as all hell. Maybe we can look at the omens. We exorcised the ghosts of 1990 and 1996 in the 2nd round against Germany and did 2018 in the group stages against Croatia. Could tonight be the exorcism of the Nations League? Is it too early to start drinking? Officially I am still working 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pearcey_90 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Easy 2-0 win tonight. It’s bloody Denmark at home. Easiest run to the final, but dispatching sides with minimal effort which is great. Save those legs for what will be a monumental game in final, against an ageing Italian defence that’s had two extra time games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFuller Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) Like London buses, you wait ages to watch the England men's team in a major Semi Final - and then two come along in back-to-back tournaments. We might have had a relatively easy run here, but make no mistake - Denmark will be the most difficult team we've played so far. Even without Eriksen, they've still got quality in many areas, and like our group, there seems to be a strong sense of togetherness with no big egos. I think it'll be a struggle, and I think Denmark will score... but I'm going for England to win 2-1. The home crowd and our greater strength in depth might just get us through this battle. But even if it doesn't, I will wish Denmark all the very best against Italy on Sunday. Edited July 7, 2021 by CFuller Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFuller Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I don't think this England team cares that much for the past when it comes to their opponents. This Denmark team right now is probably at least equal to Germany's. I've mentioned it a few times on here, but I actually predicted before the tournament (and before Eriksen's health scare) that Denmark would get to the Final. Of course, I also predicted that we'd get spanked in the Last 16. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
