He owns a club on the road back to greatness and it plays in a country where football could be on the cusp of a double boost of post-lockdown return to going to games again and the national team generating a massive feel good factor about the game. Win/win for him tonight whatever the outcome…which will be England 3-0 Denmark
Nervous for the game. Ukraine was an easy game and we just needed to stay focused.
This one will be a real test. After the first game you'd probably say they've been the team of the tournament. 4-0 against Wales and beating Czech Republic is nothing to turn your nose up at.

You’re backed by 60k at Wembley. Big advantage and you’re certainly favourites.

Wales got ahead of themselves for that game and forgot the basics they’d employed so well before that and if plan A and plan B was Gareth Bale they were always going to be vulnerable at some point. They probably should have played a L1 player in that game who could have put them right. Beating the Czech Republic is no big deal apparently

True. We are definitely favourites for the game don't get me wrong, just think Denmark will be no mugs and have come to win. Also have a lot of goodwill and motivation because of their opening game and Eriksen's situation.
Interesting to see how big the home effect actually is over the course of a season.
This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall,
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England …
I feel exactly the same way I did 3 years ago for the Sweden game. If we turn up and don't do anything stupid we will win.
Watching the game last night it was so open and ragged from so early. The lack of any extra time and the half hour we had the cigars out for against Ukraine could make a big difference.
Really relaxed about it, which is a horrible feeling, as you all know for an English Charlton fan!
Off to Guys with MsAA who's having a Basal cell carcinoma removed. I won't be thinking about the football until just before kick-off and not even then if there were any complications. So, here's hoping for the best on both fronts.
I believe we will win but bizarrely it's possible we go a goal down to a mistake before hitting top gear and winning well as the tired Danes are put to the sword. If both teams were fresh then a close contest as Denmark have some seriously good Tournament players in Dolberg and Damsgaard, who because of the plight of Eriksen and the 1 match injury to Poulsen have taken their opportunity with aplomb. Their captain kjær is a captain on and off the pitch and with Christensen and Vestergaard, they are resolute at the back and flair going forward in Christensen case with that cracker of a goal.
Braithwaite surprisingly has looked decent compare to his time at Middlesbrough and Mæhle has played well with his runs forward. Højbjerg in the engine room has been consistent and Schmeichel continues to be a massive influence for Denmark, similar to his dad Peter for the Danish team.
I’m a massive England fan but for some reason not feeling any buzz or nerves for tonight.
I think it will be a very tough game, Denmark will play deep and compact and make it frustratingly hard for us to break down. May take the game to open up in the 2nd half for us to get some momentum.
Heart is saying it’s destined to go to penalties, head is saying that over a potential 120 mins and a more effective bench we should have enough to break them down.
Understand why England fans would be nervous but I don’t think there is much reason to be.
Denmark have had a great run and it’s a fantastic story but England have been very assured (without being cocky), haven’t conceded a single goal and scored four in their last match. I don’t think England will underestimate their opponents which could have been a factor with previous squads, intact if anything I think this England team/manager are perhaps guilty of over-estimating their opponents.
Add to that it’s going to be played at home in-front of a massive support I can’t really see how it will go wrong for England.

I think it’s going to be tough and that first goal is important.

So can't see anything but a win for England. Even if we go behind the options on the bench are formidable and we are dominant in the air.
It's coming home

We will be too strong for them at home, 3-0
Lucky enough to have a ticket so I'll be at Wembley with my CAFC flag. Tempted to wear my '98 playoff final shirt as well for good luck!
