France being knocked out was a surprise because who knocked them out, but tbh once they came up against a good side they were likely to lose. Both Portugal and Germany were poor too and the group of death between them all kinda stopped any of them hitting their stride. I can see England winning it. I wouldn't be bothered by that if it wasn't for the fact that we'll not stop hearing about it for 100 years. |

must admit i didnt expect us(England) to make it as far as we had and really feel we could really be in with a chance of winning it or at the very least making the final which i expect us to beat Denmark. Though way italy are playing will be our real first test during the tornement. but i guess we will soon find out :) loved what ive watched so far for the most part though alot of the players i been looking out for havent really been performing but hopefully it will actually come home this time. |

Think the referees have done an overall good job during the euros, and the use of VAR has been a step up from some of the leagues I've watched. |

The Dutch are out, but at least our refs are doing a stellar job!! Where we have failed to be motivated, really determined and putting up all the effort to be at the top of our game as a squad, our refs have done the opposite. Our pioneering efforts in doing the VAR domestically is finally paying off! Kuipers for the final! YAY |

I see all of your points about Denmark and Italy, valid points... But you clearly haven't heard.
It's coming home. |

I'm not very into sports or anything, but I've been semi following the tournament. Kind of hard to avoid hearing about the results when you're a Dane. People were standing on top of buses and blocking the roads when we won the last time. Can't wait to see what crazy things us Danes will do if we win again tomorrow :D |

Today is the day! I'm feeling extremely confident that England will beat Denmark later today and meet up with the Italians in a cracking final that could go either way. Score prediction. England 3 - 1 Denmark. It's Coming home.... |

Maybe Spain deserved the win more, but we stayed cold and lucky and yeah, we're in the final! Whoever will win tonight, we're going to go play against someone very determinated. Hopefully they'll have a play that will make us suffer less than Spain! :D |

Waiting for the masses of cheating claims by Italians about the Sterling penalty. I can see how from different angles it looks like a dive but the VAR angle shows clear contact. |

Anything said about cheating on that front perhaps a nod in the direction of Immobile would be in order? What he did was outrageous! |

I think the final's going to be really interesting. Both teams have prided themselves on their defensive stubbornness. Which is strange as I thought it was England's weakest area before the tournament but it looks like Phillips and Rice have done their jobs in protecting the back line. Italy are amazing at the back, they always have been and just love to defend. That being said, if Spain had a decent striker, Italy might not have made it to the finals. England will have their work cut out with a really good Italian side that Mancini has got scoring goals now, which they've struggled with in the past. If England want to make the best use of the ball going forward, they need to make sure Kane's coming deep to get the ball at his feet and that people like Sterling and Saka (if he starts) are running behind so he can play them in. Kane will have a nightmare of a game being marked by Bonucci and Chiellini, so he needs to wander a bit. It's going to be a really close game. I just hope I have a hangover of joy for a change, rather than the usual hangover of hurt and pain! |

It was interesting to see how England reacted when going a goal down the other night. Wasn't the best of performances and they will need to up their game in the final against Italy. I can see this going all the way to Penalties. |

| England have been good this tournament probably underachieved over the years with the players they have had, but can't see anything other than Italy winning in the 90 mins. | |

Whoever wins is irrelevant, because the real competition, THE GOLD CUP, is about to begin! The most prestigious tournament in all the world, featuring: Mexico! USAs B squad! Jamaica! Alphonso Davies and a bunch of friendly dudes! Joel Campbell playing like Ronaldo! Qatar! Wait..what? Qatar? They're not from North America...oh they have oil? TOSS EM IN! What an intense competition this will be! Fuck sake |

haha social media is already full of people lining it up that England will have only won as they haven't had to travel, that it's all a conspiracy. Even though the venues were drawn a long time before the matches started! |

| I find it rather amusing that our European brothers and sisters and the mongrel Scots, Irish and Welsh seem to think this is some form of arrogance. It’s not it’s a statement of celebration. The arrogance will come once we have it in our clutches :) | |

Italy are the champions. Love to see the goalie be most valuable player.
To bad to sad England, it almost came home, but went to Rome. |
