Completely agree

Fair play particularly as the media here is going to be pretty unbearable for the next few days at least.

Looking forward to the semis. Spain Italy ought to be a cracker, the winner will certainly be favourites to take it all.
Would see us as slight favourites over Denmark, think we've offered a bit more. That said, the emotion of playing for Eriksen and the way that they have handled themselves so far is beyond reproach. Would be gutted if they win but wouldn't begrudge them it.

I have a feeling that the Danes are gonna win the whole thing

I think England should be better than them but destiny is a powerful thing and I think it's on Denmark's side.

I really don’t think that a last-gasp 1-point win, thanks entirely to what World Rugby subsequently acknowledged as a refereeing error, is quite the clinching argument you seem to think it is.

If Scotland had been good enough they would have won it. But they werent. This wailing about referees that seems to be endemic in the North is most unbecoming. Shouldnt be surprised i suppose coming from a bunch of wendyball supporters.

Knackers one and all......

Says the man wailing about a whole sport.

I'm wondering what a footballer did to you to make you so insecure.

I think England will hump them. They seem to me a much better team and I think the Danes may have spend all their emotion already.

Also think England would beat Spain but Italy will be too much.

My last post on this, but I really don't know why Zapp doesn't step in as has been requested before. The child adds absolutely nothing but trolling and abuse, literally nothing else. We don't want it here.

They're not the Denmark of Laudrup(s) and co, but their last two results against England have been a 0-0 draw in Copenhagen and a 1-0 win at Wembley...

The problem is, if they win it, we will hear nothing but for the next 40 years until they win another trophy.

Rugby club is Lions only and being neither a teenager or a 40 year old in a suit on the edge of the dance floor I don't fit the Winkers demographic...

To be honest for big football games I always want to be in London itself. Have always said if we won the RWC I'd obviously want to be at the stadium, think I'd rather be within walking distance of Trafalgar Square if we won the Euros.

Please don’t take this as a dig at you personally, it’s not intended that way.

But the idea that England ‘should’ beat so many different teams (in some peoples minds it’s everyone except Germany, Italy and Brazil) is one of the reasons everyone hates them.

I won’t actually begrudge England winning this tournament, as I’ll be able to watch gammons heads spin by pointing out that all England needed to win after all these years was a little injection of Marxism. And there would still be eight countries with a better record at the Euros than them (currently there are 12).
