Italy were scorching against Belgium and for all of Spain's fancy football will be no match for them. The only thing I didn't like seeing was the antics of the Italians in the last 15 minutes against Belgium.

Italy V England final, I hope.

I’d like to see that too, Ozy. Long term retribution achieved against the Krauts, 2014 WC Italy beat us in the opening group game (watched by c.20,000 on the second stage at Download festival, which was utterly awesome apart from the result), so we could get the chance to exact revenge in the best way again.

But yes, Denmark will have exactly the same hopes and expectations.

Last night's semi final was a corker of a game. I was surprised how Spain came out and went for the jugular, although once they got to the 18 yard box it sort of peetered out. Dan Olmo was the man of the match for me but his penalty was piss poor.

Looking forward to tonight.

We got our wish Mikey. Could be an excellent game Sunday or the Italians could sit back and take the flak but would be dangerous on the break. I'd like to think it's going to be end to end, excitement. As long as they don't start rolling around pussying about.
Like to think England will be above all that in letting the Italians get to them and beat them with a solid performance.
Knew that Denmark would be a different game from Ukraine and Sunday will be something else entirely to Denmark.

Sticking my neck out and say England will win and it won't be as close as everyone may think. I'm going 3-0.

And well done for not mentioning the match. Thought Italy played very well.

And I thought they could/should have had several players sent off for violent conduct, e.g. for stamping on Grealish's leg and for nearly strangling Saka, etc.

And isn't deliberate shirt pulling a la Chiellini a red card offence in the Premier League?

It probably is, In the Premier League.
