⚽UEFA EURO 2020 Discussion Thread | Winner: ITALY!

[KTChampions]

Just woke up and saw the Semi - finalist line up as



Who do you think is favorite now to win the title ?

The second pair of teams makes me very happy. I will be rooting for Denmark, but even if England make it to the final it will also be a good outcome as England deserves some achievement in such a long number of years. It would be especially good if the teams from the first pair exhausted each other and in the final the winner of the England - Denmark pair became the champion.

The only remaining underdogs are Denmark, against England it looks like they won't be the favorites to win. I also doubt Denmark's potential for the Final, because in terms of players, England can be said better. However, if Denmark can win it, it reminds me of Euro 2004, where Greece won the title, even though they are not the favorite team to win for most people.

It seems that even though England can beat Denmark, it won't be easy in the final because England have to meet Italy or Spain.  I beat Italy in the match against Spain but did not rule out Spain who would win it.  Both teams did very well in executing the game, they deserved to get into the top 4. Kane' team has good performance and they should keep their performance to final.

LOL.. I don't agree with your classification of Denmark as the "underdog". If Germany and Netherlands had qualified for the semi-finals, would you call them as underdogs? I am asking this, because Denmark is ranked higher than these teams. But I agree that against England (and that too at the Wembley), the Danes are clearly the underdogs. But the other semi-final match is going to be more exciting (the one between Spain and Italy). It is a battle between two equal sides, who have fielded squads made predominantly of younger players this time. And out of the 4 teams, England is the clear favorite.

Maybe we have a different point of view regarding the "underdogs", I mention Denmark as the Underdogs, because they often stop at the group stage. Even in the previous competition (EURO 2016),  Denmark did not participate, CMIIW. That's why I call them underdogs, not because of their FIFA rankings. Even though, for example, Germany is ranked in the FIFA 100, I wouldn't say they are underdogs, because at EURO they have won several times.

Well, England fans, are youg going to rub Harry's balls? be honest

Come on guys, rub the balls. Can't wait to see the final now but we have an explosive semi in Italy and Spain. I have BOTH teams on my outright so one of them has to go, big shame. but if just one goes and beats England in the final I'll be really happy so go go! Harry, get your balls rubbed and bring your team to the final:)

I have a feeling the italy will make it this year. Or England... they kind of deserve it after all these tournaments over the last decade..  

Italy versus England for the final will be a great final if we are looking at how they perform in this tournament so far. England is the only one team which is still hold the clean sheet record for this tournament. Italy on other side shows a consistent performance.
Do not mean to underestimate Denmark and Spain. Although they can go this far, but I do not see that their performance are better than England and Italy.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm more inclined towards the final Italy - Denmark. Italy shows a pragmatic game tailored to the result. And Denmark is my sympathy for this tournament. I would like them not only to reach the final, but also to win Euro21. It would be a loud sensation and a great gift for me.

How sure are you that England and Italy will make it to the final, what if it was the other way around, to be honest I'm not sure they will meet in the final.

I actually believe the opposite, Spain will meet England in the final, UEFA EURO 2020 Cup this time, I'm willing to bet on that.

Don't you miss July 7-8 next Wednesday, we will see them in the semi-finals to the finals.

I have always felt a special appreciation for Italy, in fact the player who left due to injury hurt me a lot, the truth is that footballer played with his heart, on the other hand Denmark put up with CZE a lot, I think Denmark is one of the countries most tough guys in the world at the EURO, and Spain, what I don't like is that Luis Enrique didn't want to bring players from Real Madrid and they are excellent players.

England is much stronger, it reminds me of David Bechkam's England, for many it is the favorite to win the EURO, and at this point in the tournament it is very difficult for me to predict a possible champion.

[hahay]

The rest of this match will be held at Wembley and of course it will be very good for England who will play against Denmark, I personally feel if the match is not at Wembley maybe Denmark will win. But yes, because England will be playing at home then of course England have a better chance of winning the match and qualifying for the final it looks like it will be against Italy.

VAR doesnt check wether it was a valid corner or not.

In my opinion, that is wrong. I have seen goals being cancelled in the Italian league because the ball passed the throw-in line during the attack that lead to the goal. If the referees can cancel a goal because of a throw in, they should have the ability to do it because of properly given (or not given) corners. As we saw from the Denmark - Czech Republic example, the referee's mistake f**ked the Czechs really hard.

I fully agree with Pmalek. If an immediate situation preceding a goal was clearly wrong, where there is no doubt, the goal shouldn't count. It's hard when there is a semi clear foul, but this was just blatantly factually clear. It was no corner, period. There is not even room for discussion. As the corner immediately preceded the goal. I would say it's fair to not count the goal. Again, it is a harder with a free kick, but when it comes to corner you can easily check it. Such a wrong corner shouldn't decide a European Championship final round game.

England played very well yesterday against Ukraine and i was expecting them to win this game.
Little bit surprised about Czech Republic that they lost there match as i was expecting them to win there match against Denmark.

For the coming classic game Italy vs Spain i will go for Italy to win this.
England vs Denmark i dont know how to bet there.

[nelson4lov]

I'll say it over and over again with full Confidence,the Italians will clinch this Euros.
And I see Jorginho and Emerson of Chelsea adding a major trophy to there name again this Season.
Italy for the Euros 2020/2021.
Its gonna be a strong finals between the Italians and English Side.

Yeah, England vs Italy for a final euro 2020 game will be a tough and well contested fixture but that's only going to happen if none of them loses in the semi-finals round. While I don't expect either team to lose, the game of football is not always certain. If it was, teams like France and Germany would still be in the tournament. There's a possibility of Spain winning the Italians or the Danes might triumph even though England is the bookies and everyone's favorite.

The rest of this match will be held at Wembley and of course it will be very good for England who will play against Denmark, I personally feel if the match is not at Wembley maybe Denmark will win. But yes, because England will be playing at home then of course England have a better chance of winning the match and qualifying for the final it looks like it will be against Italy.

If the venue is at Wembley, then England might benefit on it since they're playing on home soil compared to Denmark/Spain or Italy.

england reach their first European championship semi-final since 1996 after big win against ukraine , England played well , the goals of match Kane 3', 49', Harry , Maguire 45', Henderson 62'  , England are the first team in Euro history to start their campaign with five clean sheets in a row congrat for england , the next round or next match will be very dificult for sure whatever the team some say denmark is an easy team, but Denmark can make a surprise , personally i think england cannot win before 120 minute in best case

you're absolutely right. the video assistant comes in for every little decision. but for such an important decision, nothing happens.
that's the biggest joke of this european championship so far. but this european championship is very strange anyway.
many favourites are already at home. if I'm honest....... i'm already looking forward to the next european championship.
then in front of many thousands of fans and without corona fear.......i hope so

I support the Spanish soccer team.  I recently read the book "The Adventures of Captain Alatriste". 

I am very impressed with the character of the Spaniards.  This is a nation of born fighters - stubborn, aggressive, unyielding and proud.  I think in the game with Italy they will demonstrate their national character. 

At the same time, the Italian national football team is also a very professional and bright football team. 

The game will be very interesting!

My vote goes to Italy, if they play like they did against Belgium, they will be very difficult to stop. Spain, on the other hand, has not really impressed me yet this tournament.
For England vs Denmark, the clear favorite is England but if they underestimate the Danish team, than we can see a surprise!

Probably 80% sure but of course it is just my own opinion and prediction based on what I see from their overall performance during the tournament so far. Yes, you may have different prediction. It is normal in any sports prediction discussion and I believe there must be also some people who have different prediction than us, they are those who predict Denmark will be able to beat England and goes to Final.

I don't think Spain is doing very well. They are performing average quality. Italy's squad is much more experienced than Spain's and they are almost irresistible. Spain's win against Switzerland was almost uncertain. In the match between Italy and Spain, I will definitely put Italy ahead.
