    Not sure how this one is going to go

    Fun fact: Denmark are the most recent Nation to win at Wembley against England...

    Line up predictions?

    Can't see him changing it from the Ukraine game personally but then he has kept us guessing!

    I think Grealish will start.

    4-3-3 (similar line up to previously - possibly Saka back in for Sancho?)

    3-0 Eng, Kane / Sterling / Mount

    It's coming home

    I can't believe we've never invaded Andorra  Monaco and Chad.
    I reckon we could have done em easy.

    My girlfriend has indicated that she knows for a fact that Danes have big sausages.  I didn’t know how to respond to that.

    We could have taken Vatican City with a couple of platoons - missed a trick there !!

    I don’t know what he’s gonna pick selection wise, but formation he’s got to stick with the 4-3-3 he’s been playing. Denmark usually play a the same way but I can’t see them trying to match us up man for man. 

    I’m excited. I’m nervous. 

    Cmon England.

    Denmark are a galvanised team after a horror start to their campaign and created a good few chances against Czech Republic in their QF, but England have a great team dynamic and self-belief currently, a solid defence, with blooming confidence going forward, and seem to be peaking at exactly the right time.

    I am normally very nervy with predicting England wins but I reckon we sweep aside this Denmark side with relative ease. I'm going to guess 3-0. Kane, Stones, Grealish.

    I feel sick for this already

    In my head, i can handle the disappointment of losing to Italy/Spain in the final, but will struggle to get over losing this semi final

    The Vikings came over here for the first leg and it was a bit nawty, so the return match was cancelled

    Will just copy my post from the Ukraine pre match thread because it still applies.

    Easy win tonight. We won’t concede until we play Italy in the final. If Spain manage to knock the Italians out then the final will be a doddle too.

    Could be very tricky and very tense.

    I wonder how much our players experience in major European club football this season will help tomorrow. Looking at Denmark’s side I can’t see anyone that’s gone through that. 

    Tbh I’m looking at every positive at the moment I’m so nervous 😂

    I can’t see many changes - if any.  I’m sure our run of consecutive cleans sheets will come to an end before this tournament is over. Wouldn’t be surprised if it is tomorrow. But we have so much in our locker - we’re still not playing at full throttle yet.  If Walker can keep maehle quiet, we will nullify their best attacking threat. 

    One thing to note - Kane does enjoy a goal (14 in 11) against Schmeichel.

    Denmark are full of players with European top flight experience
