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.

    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
