Good match. Spain were better than I expected and used their substitutions well.
Italy seemed to tire quite badly in the second half, which was a bit surprising bearing in mind London is so much cooler than Rome.
The quality of their substitutes (or lack of) could be a problem in the final.
Nevertheless they are there... and that is all that matters.

Fair comment Piglet.Originally Posted by Piglet_Phoenix
Mancini generally seems to have been making his substitutions relatively early, so maybe their legs will benefit from the rotation in the final.

Well, this one’s close. Unfortunately, as we all know, we never win a semi-final on the ITV.

Reverse psychology - works every time.

Denmark showed England far too much respect in that match, that's not how they played in the rest of the tournament. It's a shame really.
It's also a shame Sterling had to cheat to win the decisive penalty, I'm a bit perplexed why VAR didn't overrule it, but all in all Denmark didn't play well enough on the night.

Irony. The English think "foreigners" cheat.
Cheating English *******s.

Kane's probably the most blatant diver in the competition, puts the Italians and Spanish to shame.
I can't really complain about the hand of God for 25 years and then sit here condoning the cheating to win a penalty tonight. I do prefer to win fair and square.

A cracking game which I hugely enjoyed,it's going to be a tough game against the Italians,felt sorry for Grealish being subbed though,when will he get a decent chance to prove himself?
