Fight To Final: Will England Win This?
ENGLAND’s Knight: Gareth Southgate, previously defender or midfielder of Aston Villa (1995-96) and Middlesbrough in (2003-04) won League Cup each. At the age of 35, with more than 500 league appearances, an outstanding resume there. He managed England under 21 from 2013-2016 and then got raised to England national team manager in 2016 and 2nd major tournament after FIFA 2018 with semi-finalist.
Whereas, Ex-UEFA EURO 1992 Champion, Peter Schmeichel passing down to current son, Kasper Peter Schmeichel (Current Goal Keeper Denmark) played 3 Major tournaments so far with UEFA Euro 2012, FIFA World Cup 2018 and UEFA EURO 2020.
Previous matches
Denmark went through lost first 2 games in group match due to without Christian Eriksen involvement and JUST ENOUGH to go through a win with Russia. Tapping Wales easily and Czech Republic to reach final 4.
3 Lions just scored a goal each between Croatia and Czech Republic, and a sneaky draw with Scotland at group stage. Flipped Germany with 2-0 and easy win Ukraine with 4-0 to go final 4, maybe that is why they NEED to have “4 goals”.

Key Players for England
Injury report: Bukayo Saka (no confirm date)
Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling, Jadon Sancho, Mason Mount
Three-ke-teers with setup of 3 Midfielders and Kane as forward, Gunners triumphing Germans with 2-0 and Ukraine 4-0. Since Saka is on injury, combination most likely Dier, Coady and Gomes or Kane, Sterling and Sancho, or Kane, Rashford and Mount.
Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw andKieran Trippers
Beware of Defenders& Back-Forwards of England are pretty good because they are not committing to attack and full of defensive counter-attacks. Holding of Denmark’s Braithwaite, Damsgaard and Dolberg would not be easy at all, they are super-fast runners.
Key Players for Denmark
Injury Report: Christian Eriksen (No date mention)
Kasper Dolberg, Yussuf Poulsen, Joakim Maehle
Based on statistics, Denmark has almost 2 times shots like crosses and dribbling sides, which means more penalty area entry and goals. Danes love to use high energy style to run over English defence and attack with limited numbers. Braithwaite’s pace and power are no joke as well to pass Shaw and Maguire. They are more specialist of midfielders than defence so this is why their line up mostly 3-4-3 and then switches to 3-4-2-1 for attacking quickly.
Thoughts of the Game
This game could most probably lean torwards to England because of Christian Eriksen involvement. Let’s not forget Yussuf Poulsen returning to the game with very high expectation coming from him. Danes plays with fast aggressiveness and pushes win over England’s decent defense.
Prediction to win: Denmark 2-1 England
