If anything, Spain has shown how they can totally forget about defense and let anyone score on them.  I think Italy won't have a hard time.   England vs Denmark is probably the closer match between the two IMO.

Yeah Spain are also so inconsistent, they can turn up and smash the opposition or get smashed themselves lol. Personally I believe the only reason they won the World Cup in 2010 is because the Dutch team got complacent and decided to play dirty in the final, that's another team that either shows up or doesn't depending on the weather.

It was closer then I expected actually.   Had Italy not played as risky as they did I don't know if Spain would've tied the game.   Besides, only Spain can control the ball for that long and only manage 1 goal.

England to WIN Final

You're joking, right? England was pathetic in this match, winning via own goal and an invented penalty, then raped by Denmark in ET, playing in 10, while they held the ball as much as they could to pass the time. Italy will score at least 4 against them.

Yeah and already the sour grapes is evident on social media, like only the Italians, Germans and other lesser teams already knocked out are only deserving of such a final.

 

These people forget why football is the beautiful game, because it is supposed to spring surprises like this after a bunch of hard work (England semi final loss at WC2018 for example) but "fans" like you would much rather see the same two teams duke it out for the title every season, like Rangers and Celtic, Man City vs Man Utd etc..  enjoy, if that's what you think is football.

 

England have suffered their own injustices at major finals:

I couldn't care less who ends up in the final, I didn't even start watching this championship till Switzerland vs. France (and that was by accident), by far the most fantastic game in many years. What I do care is about fairness, that decision was obviously biased and I've yet to see someone who said that it WAS a right decision. Also, they pretty much sucked, strugling agains a clearly inferior team, they didn't deserve to win in my opinion. That doesn't mean that I think Denmark was better either. Hopefully justice will be served in the final.

Euro 2020: England charged by Uefa after 'laser' penalty incident

Uefa has charged England after a laser pointer was directed at Denmark keeper Kasper Schmeichel during Wednesday's Euro 2020 semi-final at Wembley.

Television pictures showed a green light on Schmeichel's face just before Harry Kane took an extra-time penalty.

Schmeichel saved the spot-kick but Kane scored the rebound as England won 2-1 to reach Sunday's final against Italy.

England are also charged with causing a "disturbance" during Denmark's national anthem and setting off fireworks.

    • Lexar 8TB NM790 SSD gets 15% Prime Day discount: Great for PS5 and PC gamers by Paul Hill It’s the last day of Amazon’s Prime Day event (which is going on for four days) and if you’re still looking for something to buy, then how about this Lexar 8TB NM790 SSD which is currently available for $573.88, down 15% from $674.99. To get this lower price, you need to be a Prime member, you can get a trial here. According to Lexar, this SSD is ideal for both PC and PS5 gamers. At 8TB, that’s a huge amount of storage and suitable for storing lots of games. As an SSD, it will operate very quickly and give faster boot times for your PC. It’s also a good choice for creators needing lots of space for editing large video files. The NM790 boasts read speeds of up to 7000MB/s and write speeds of up to 6200MB/s. It’s compatible with PS5, desktops, and laptops, but doesn’t come with a heatsink so you’ll want to ensure you have good airflow for maximum performance. It also features Host Memory Buffer (HMB) 3.0 and Dynamic SLC Cache for smooth performance. While you hopefully shouldn’t run into any problems with this SSD, if it fails for some reason that isn’t your fault, Lexar covers it with five years of warranty so you’d be able to follow up with the company to get the issue sorted. This 8TB SSD could easily be overkill for many people, however, if you’re a gamer with lots of games to store, or a content creator that edits lots of large videos, it could make a lot of sense. If you are interested in purchasing it, act quickly as Prime Day sales will soon come to an end. Lexar 8TB NM790 SSD: $573.88 (Amazon US) / MSRP $674.99 This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified. If you don't like it or want to look at more options, check out the Amazon US deals page here. Get Prime (SNAP), Prime Video, Audible Plus or Kindle / Music Unlimited. Free for 30 days.
