England to bring your predictions back down to earth

I'll take 1 out of 8.

Germans were very fortunate tonight. Perhaps slightly the better team, but I think Oliver gave them a lot. I can't see them beating Spain, assuming they get past Georgia

Disagree, tbh. Thought Germany were far the better team. Denmark were holding on for long periods and Germany had numerous chances to score.
Penalty was a little harsh, and obviously that was key but it felt like a goal was coming anyway.

Not so sure - this isn’t a great Germany side, but being hosts could carry them through

Germany certainly started brightly but after 20 mins or so, Denmark started to come back into it. In such a match Germany are expected to have more possession and Denmark would have periods of defending, but they were more than holding their own after the opening period. Den were both unlucky with having their goal chalked off and then the Germans getting the pen.

After that the Danes ended up slightly chasing, and so more prone to giving a second away etc, but things certainly went for the Germans. Final ball occasionally let Denmark down and Hojlund snatched at his chances.
Overall Germany deserved to win, and of course having the tournament at home helps, just got a feeling they won't do it.
I'm not English, but I almost feel Eng are going to do 'an old school Italy type win', where they don't play that great early on, come into it and end up with the trophy.
I expect if Mainoo starts, it will coincide with a better performance and win against Slovakia and give the fans an all round better feel

The best was saved til last. Cracking game between Türkiye and Austria and what a save to win it!

The game with the Dutch should be another cracker. Spain vs Germany obviously massive, and France vs Portugal.

Was an amazing save. Turkiye fortunate to get through but defended great. Austria would have been a tougher test for anyone I think but the Dutch like to make hard work of it generally so who knows. England look like coasting to the final playing awful football to be honest.

Spain hopefully beat Germany or we are gonna end up with some very disappointing teams in the last four.

I'm boldly predicting both France and England to go next round, final to be Spain v Netherlands.

And that save was incredible.

As I have said for weeks. England win the tournament.
