I imagine we would beat Denmark, nice to see a final and though anything can happen, I can't see us beating Italy.
Still, to consistently make it to the knock-out stages of all major tournaments is very impressive for our fair isle, and 2 semis in the last 2 is awesome.

Agree with all the above. Do I think we'll get to the final now? Yes. Will we have enough to beat Italy or Spain? Ah. Um. Hmm. Fingers crossed I'm wrong
Great victory yesterday I think we probably will beat Denmark but I'm not counting my chickens before they've hatched yet. It will be a tricky game. If we do get to the final, it will be tough. Italy and Spain are great teams. However on our day we can beat anyone but we will have to play well
Who knows? Dare I say it: Footballs coming home!!!
Been great so far although i still have a grudge with Southgate for relegating Middlesbrough back in '09 starting our big fuckin decline since the glory days. A part of me still thinks we'll get to the final and get curbstomped by Italy but fuck it might as well get the hopes high. Think the country might blow up if we somehow manage it, never seen me town so alive with that Ukraine game.

I think the nations will be happy with a final, I have the week of after the game (the hedge isn't going to chainsaw itself) but I might sneak into town if we win to see if anything is open/view the carnage.
We can hope, if we star well and get a couple of goals in the first half we should win (against both Denmark and Italy). Have to see on Wednesday first!
Really not happy with the booing...I won't call them fans, what is the collective noun for an embarrassment to a country? And apparently someone tried to distract the goalie with a laser!
If our 'fans' are banned from the final, I would not be upset.

They're still not as bad as the Iranian fans throwing the nazi salute during the German national anthem. As an American, I was surprised by how some shitbag fans treat the opposing team's players.
Congrats to the English. It was an entertaining match The Danes played well, that is better than what the tabloids had predicted which resulted in a lot of suspense. The booing was embarrassing. Wasn't the king of England a great Dane some time ago? Good luck in the final

I feel its all part of the course for football like, even at a lower league level when i was 10 i saw someone get glassed at a pub during a brief encounter between supporters of two villages nee other cunt south of the river Wear would have heard of. Hatred seems to ebb out of football (lot of emotion innit) can imagine it being surprising to others but God its all I've known in this strange fuckin country lol. The whole England vs The World mentality probs doesn't help things but ah well the peeps who religiously follow England around have always had a rep of being pricks.
Also I cant saw owt about the laser pen cos Boro fans did it to Rooney a few years back and we knocked out Man U from the cup and that was one of the happiest days of my life. The booing shit for the anthems I can go whatevs at but booing our own players is just taking the fuckin piss so aye fuck them lot mind
We started off so well, the opening goal in the first two minutes was a total shocker to Italy
Unfortunately it all tailed off for England, but they managed to hold off Italy all the way through extra time resulting in the dreaded penalty shootout which never goes well for England
To reach the final of a major competition was a fantastic achievement and the whole team should be praised for that
Love you, too
