Apart from Germany, England has had the easiest path so far to the final. Germany has been a shadow of themselves for a while and probably all this arrogant confidence will hurt them.Italy rolled over the Swiss who took both France and Spain to penalties. Italy also played Belgium while England played Ukraine to make the semis. England are still impressive but they haven't really been challenged much in their bracket, other than Germany who are a shadow of their former selves.CanaYouDoIt wrote: Sun Jul 04, 2021 4:29 pm The England team do not have arrogant confidence, I guess from Italy it may seem like that but dismissing their run as the easiest when its been at the same level of the Italian run is just dumb. Italy played Turkey , the Swiss and Wales in the group which I'd argue is around the same as the Czechs, Croats and Scottish .
Time to give England their respect.
And England easily dealt with Croatia who then gave Spain a hard game, you can dismiss Germany but at the end of the day its Germany and England have historically never done well against them that was a huge game for the English. You could just as easily dismiss Austria like you've done to Englands opponents.Plako wrote: Tue Jul 06, 2021 3:54 pmItaly rolled over the Swiss who took both France and Spain to penalties.

Well, Denmark lost two of their 3 group games ad they were playing at home. I can picture Southgate walk into the dressing room and just say "Lads it's Denmark"CanaYouDoIt wrote: Tue Jul 06, 2021 4:41 pm And England easily dealt with Croatia who then gave Spain a hard game, you can dismiss Germany but at the end of the day its Germany and England have historically never done well against them that was a huge game for the English.

Next up you'll say its "just Denmark"
I think that's slightly unfair to Denmark considering what happened to them, since then they've been dominant.Plako wrote: Tue Jul 06, 2021 4:53 pmWell, Denmark lost two of their 3 group games ad they were playing at home.
