To think it’s coming home

[Ostryga]

I mean, I definitely am

But 4-0 in a quarter and no goals conceded?

There’s a little glimmer! (I know MN hates football, but just this one time!)

There was a reason Germany was in with France and Portugal, they were ranked low and not seeded first or second for the group phases, so whilst not being shit, they weren't very good either.

England just have to beat Denmark, hopefully Pickford can keep a successive 6th clean sheet

I don't know if you're an Everton fan or not, but I am and I wish Pickford played like that for us. He's been great.

I am an Everton fan Pickford has been playing like that for us since he came back from his injury so since Dec/Jan. Long may it continue.

What does ABE mean?

Anyone But England

Oh ok

@FriedTomatoe

I'm happy for the team just hate the mentality in the UK. Domestic abuse rises by 50% when England play so I can't fall in love with it and wholehearted support it.

OMG is this true? That's terrifying!! I do think it's great how football organisations are tackling issues like racism and homophobia (long overdue) but I wonder why I've never heard this mentioned in their initiatives!

Anyone But England

The prevailing attitude on MN towards anything English but especially football which is considered revoltingly vulgar unless of course it is being played by a country in the EU because all their football supporters are super lovely and progressive which shows just how little they know.

@PlacidPenelope I had Portugal in the sweepstake so their fate was sealed

@SorrySoldOut

nah.....rugby is all stop start stop start....doesnt flow.

Totally agree. And brute strength often rather than silky runs and ball control.

Husband had France he was thrilled until.....

I had Switzerland, my hopes rose then dashed!

I just can't see it I'm afraid 😞

Next match is going to be extremely hard. England have had a great run, missing out all of the very dangerous teams.

Denmark are consistently on form, and England… well. We know what England are like! As much as I want us to win.

I’m praying for no penalties. I think I’ll have to quit football if they go out like that again.

Let’s gone Spain beats Italy somehow!

It's not in the bag on Wednesday at all !
I think it's going to be so tough

I agree and England need to prepare hard for the game.

Yep, the Danes are up for this tournament big time. The England ' big up ' is too much now. All over the tv, the news, local news, radio..
then it's disappointing if they lose!

Agree the80sweregreat, the news outlets need to dial it down. The Danes are not going to be a pushover, it will be a hard fought game and if England go into it with any other mindset then they will come unstuck rapidly.

Any particular reason for that?
Because they're xenophobic

ABE = Xenophobia

The tv always do this to the teams.
Then it's all a misery fest if they lose.
It's so depressing and predictable.

Dear me this is tortuous and many of us are being proven right with our comments.

England will win against a resilient Danish team, unless penalties…..

@ResIpsaLoquiturInterAlia

I am not sharing your optimism at the moment Res, I hope you are right and I am wrong though

I’m having a small panic atm. Where’s Grealish

Come on Grealish! Super sub for last quarter of the match, eleventh cap perhaps first and winning goal!?

Looks to me like it's going home to Denmark, who tbf have won it before

It could well do.

The team and Southgate have done so well, fair do’s to them. The attitudes amongst some fans has, as always, left something to be desired.
