Thought it might be fun to have a thread for the match predictions. Although I am not a Slouthgate fan, I am an England fan, that said I still believe we have been playing just good enough to see off bang average opponents. Denmark should be treated with respect, but are no world beaters.
Therefore my prediction is 2-1 for England, maybe after extra time.

4-0
Kane (2) Sterling Foden

Are the italians one up yet?

So the experts are saying Saka is playing. And Foden and Grealish benched again.
That I don't understand.

Foden wont get a look-in until we are losing with 5 minutes to go..........and if he doesn't score he will be labelled a failure.

Denmark 2 - 1 England

England 2-0, Raheem to get the opener.

That said, i have just been for a couple of pints with my mate before i put him on a train back to London, one cannot talk about England and tournament semi finals without considering penalties!!!

So I looked at stats for both keepers

Kasper who we know, 34 now (God that makes me feel old) has defended 90 penalties in his career, saved 22, not saved 68!

Pickford 27 yrs old has defended 46 penalties in his career, saved 11, not saved 35

So honours roughly even percentage wise, that said so far Pickford has had a very good tournament fingers crossed, England have conceded no goals to date opposed to the Dane's who have conceded 5 goals

Head to head we have played them 21 times, England 12 wins, 4 draws, 5 wins to the Danes

In Tournaments we have only played them twice, winning 2-0 in Japan and 2002 a draw (don't know when).

So my prediction stands 2-0 no penalties needed for once (fingers crossed)

England will win despite Southgate being an absolute shithouse totally out of his depth . The guy is a fucking fanny lorded by a disgusting media .
Yeah I want England to win but it should be so much better than the dross this soft bastard churns out . Also feel sorry for the exceptional young midfield talent missing out big time , Grealish, Sancho , Foden and Bellingham. They deserve and the fans deserve so much better !!!!!!

I’m Going 2- 0 In Ger Land

Now confirmed

And we are sure to see Rashford and Henderson coming on at some stage, whatever the state of the game

Fuck me, I didn’t think anybody could articulate my exact feelings, totally agree 64, you know your football.

Foden not to play another minute in this tournament.

Bellingham has a slight advantage in that I'm led.
to believe(?) Hes only 18]. Tongue from cheek, that said, that swampy look a like from Leeds is only 25 and Rice cannot be much older so fuck knows when he will get snother game?
Strength from the bench may be called for tonight
