Glad we're ahead but if I was a Danish fan I'd be fuming that wasn't overturned

Replay looks like it was for the 2nd foul by Jenson. Anyway who cares

 

[Floval Flyer]

This is exhausting

Good job you're not Danish then.

Let's face it we've been on the awful end of decisions over the years- Maradona, Lampards goal v Germany, sol Campbell's v argies.

 

[Supershrimper]

Inviting far to much pressure for my liking. Why bring on a defensive player. Everyone sits a little bit deeper then

 

[Cricko]

Not sure why we have our game plan so much.

 

[Supershrimper]

Dare I say it but 1 minute, 1 minute.......

 

[RHB]

Euro final here we come. Not pretty but who gives a ****!! Woo hoo

 

[Cricko]

Yesssssss!

 

[GNH]

Deserved win, i feel physically dreadful.

I had my 2nd jab today so not sure if it's that or the stress or both. I don't really care either way!

We made hard work of that..

We're in a final, so happy days.

 

[southendkid]

I was impressed how we saw the game out, Denmark barely threatened after the goal.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Denmark weren't mugs.Italy are better.

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

we kept the ball better than any England team I can remember. We put teams under so much pressure. It was a pen, but it was the result of the pressure. Superbly well done England

 

[Medway Blue]

Good win. Thought the first half was pretty even but felt England were in control from the start of the second half onwards. Should have been out of sight after 90 mins and not needed ET, but can't complain. The penalty was the correct call.

Main thing for me is the character, the grit, the fight and the togetherness. Arguably I'd say we had better individual players in that 1998-2010 generation but this is a TEAM.

To be fair it was a semi-final of a major championship, it should never be easy.

Sterling was my MOTM, what a player he is.

VAR did exactly what they should do, look at the pictures that show it was a clear penalty.



Lots of nasty xenophobic comments on the usual social media platforms just because we won a football match and 'robbed' the Danes a place in the final apparently.
