Nuff Said 5,131 Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) I didn’t see all the match but thought that was harsh on Spain. Probably better result for England though? Edit: or Denmark! Don’t want to jinx anything. Edited July 6, 2021 by Nuff Said 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More worried about Denmark 😂 On that performance I would have been more worried about playing Spain tbh. Bring on the Danes 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGoogler 324 Posted July 6, 2021 Well. That was a game for the ages. Superb match. Spain can feel aggrieved, but I think there was a whisker's width between them. Hoping for a more straightforward win for England tomorrow! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Hairy 3,772 Posted July 6, 2021 Morata is a bit of an enigma, clearly a talented player, but just has zero confidence, it was written all over his face that he was going to miss that penalty. Reminds me of RvW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,227 Posted July 6, 2021 Spain had chances to win but Italy finished the stronger and relished the penalties. Italy are the best all round team in this tournament and I can't see England or Denmark having enough to beat them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree with most of that but Italy aren't perfect, they've conceded goals and struggled to deal with Spain's attack at times tonight. If Spain were more clinical they should have won as they created some good chances. I think England, should they beat Denmark, stand a good chance of causing Italy problems. Remember we've not conceded a single goal yet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm totally the opposite, Italy don't have enough up top, and have looked more beatable as the tournament has gone on. I fancy the winner to come from tomorrow's semi.

paddycanary 539 Posted July 6, 2021 I fancy the Italians to have just a little bit too much for the Danes on Sunday & bring it home. You can't buy experience. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted July 6, 2021 That’s the thing with these top sides, even when Spain were going for it in extra time first half and looking better on the eye, Italy just have that grit that ensures even when they’re not doing well, they ARE doing well! I hate that my gut feeling is that they will win the final, but can only hope England keep stepping up as they have done in these last couple of games 🤞 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I read somewhere the only top team they've played in that period is Belgium and they conceded a goal there so I still think there's hope for England IF we do get past Denmark. They'll both be tough games, but they should be to become the best in Europe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
