Crap, that’s an iffy Red against Freuler. Gonna feel for the Swiss now if Spain go on and take the game, as I think would be easily expected.
The commentator made a great point that not every tackle that looks dangerous actually is/was. Should’ve given the yellow then reviewed for potential red

My kid did her study abroad semester in Copenhagen. She fell in love with the place, as so did we. My Denmark scarf and I are looking for a good place to watch the semi on Wednesday here in CT, preferably with a strong contingent of Danish fans. Suggestions?

Anyone other than Spain winning id be fine with. But Denmark winning would be amazing

Still waiting to hear why Denmark was rewarded a corner kick that led to that 1st goal
Makes no difference - England won't disappoint on Wednesday

I think Italy gets by Spain today. Their #10 is the most individually dynamic player of these two teams. And can't trust Morata

Amazing game. Great goals. Really happy Italy is in the final as they’re really fun to watch.

Italy is a very beatable team - Spain was the better side today
But you have to make the PKs
England is definitely in the drivers seat but have to take care of a Denmark team that really doesn't belong in the semis
One of the better Euro cups in recent memory

Spain is young. This generation will be a good one.
Italy can knock off England.
And we get an Argentina - Brazil final this weekend

Italy looked like crap for the first time in the tourney against Spain and still pulled it out. If England can take care of Denmark I still give Italy the edge over England. The Brits are even better at choking than the Italians on the big stage.

I thought Italy looked like old Italy. Overly defensive minded, didn't look to attack during several opportunities. Maybe that was the strategy. Should be a good match assuming England gets through. I don't think you can judge England based on what prior teams did. Lots of young talent.

Spain doesn't have a striker like Fernando Torres, so they couldn't create chances by whipping crosses in to a target man. Spain was the better overall side yesterday, just one piece away

Insipid, headshaking take

Sucks is obviously message board hyperbole. Look at the results. You don't think they were lucky to get to the semi-final? You think they go through if they get Belgium instead of Croatia? Or even France?
Sweden 0-0
Poland 1-1
Slovakia 5-0
Croatia 5-3
Swiss 1-1 (3-1)
Italy 1-1 (3-5)

Placed 2nd in a weak group and got a very easy draw after that. I know it's historically a strong side, but they aren't right now. Nor are the Germans unfortunately.

What a joke of a penalty. Sterling dives non stop and they go to VAR and still affirm it? Ridiculous.

Agreed. Denmark concedes OG and PK and will likely lose. The game's been played in Denmark's half but England doesn't look very threatening. Italy should beat them
