What's worrying me is that people are already looking at the Final. Too many people are looking at Denmark, pundits, fans et al, and surmising that we'll win easy. Yeah, we do have the habit of doing that after a couple of good results. Still, fingers crossed for the team tonight. Would be amazing to make the final.

I actually fancy us more against Italy than Denmark. Anyway Saka will be playing England have some depth, imagine Sandro could appear later.

I would hope you are correct. but it doesn't take much, a few directed questions in an interview, to plant that in a players head, and for him to lose a little focus. It's for GS to Manage, and to be Fair to him and the squad, there is little evidence that that has happened. Problem is the Fans(and the media) - this is the arrogance that the rest of the world see and is often levelled at us.

I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything. |

I think tonight will be our toughest opponents so far. The Danes have momentum and some of their football has been sublime. Most of their players are technically gifted. Plus they've had the life-re-evaluating moment from the opening game, which takes away all of the bullsh1t pressure some teams succumb to. That said, the preparation from GS had been meticulous and they team have executed every game plan excellently (save for the underwhelming Scotland game). If we do that again then we win and score a couple of goals. But this is football and anything can happen.

In an 'ideal' scenario we'd manage to put a couple past them early doors then be more relaxed in our way. When we get tentative it all tends to go pair shaped. I've no idea how it will go really, but am leaning towards believing that we might make the final!
