What's the Italian goialie like? And chance of a howler?
Schmeichel has probably never played better. On another night it would have been a calm 3-1.in normal time.0 -

I do think maybe Sam Matterface could do with upping the nonsense commentary a notch.0

Denmark played so negatively...
England have a few like for likes so just motored on.
I kind of agree with RC that both teams lack the extra needed to beat Italy. But then the Italians have had a couple more extra times so they aren't unbeatable. Who knows.
For a day or so let's enjoy winning the first semi final after 3 losses on the bounce.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Not least as apart from the regular pen takers guys like Henderson etc only really practice doing one penalty and doing it well.tailwindhome said:England can be glad I think that never went to pens
Do it once in a tournament and everyone knows - look at Switzerland.0 -
Now the Danes know what it feels like to be English in a semi final - arguably the better team but didn't get the run of the ball or the key decision.

Shining a laser pen in Casper Schmeical's face whilst he was facing the "penalty" is a bit low!0

The match stats don't reflect that. Something like 20 shots to 8, 60:40 possession etc. They could have won, but on another day, Sterling would have had a brace and McGuire would have scored.

Or to use a rowing analogy, anyone can win the first 1000 metres.0 -

Every time sterling got the ball and went forward, it felt like something was going to happen. He's been the best player in every match.0

Sweet Caroline as far back as I can remember was a Northern Ireland anthem. In all the games following Wales I have been to at Windsor Park it was always sung by the GAWA.verylonglegs said:When did Sweet Caroline creep into so many sporting events?

Watching highlights on the beeb. Two things to note
1) they're using ITV's commentary. They normally have their own commentators.
2) Lineker, Shearer and Jenas are all wearing the same trainers.0 -

Not even arguably. The pen was fortunate as was the goal but England were the much better team. Did you watch the match?DeVlaeminck said:Now the Danes know what it feels like to be English in a semi final - arguably the better team but didn't get the run of the ball or the key decision.

England by far the better side over all, though Denmark had some good spells. England totally dominated in extra time.
Best two teams in the tournament have reached the final.0
