We knew with the legs we have, the aggression and the power, wed eventually break them down. On our way to @wembleystadium! We expect it to be no earlier tonight.
He hurls it to the near post where it's cleared out to Phillips. England's defence retreated, opening a gap between them, Rice and Phillips for Braithwaite and Damsgaard while Dolberg occupied the centre-backs with his running. That needs to be reflected on the pitch. A mixture of joy and relief. England are disjointed. Saka tries to haul England up the pitch and is fouled for his initiative. England have started with impressive, positive intensity, pushing the full-backs high and Mount popping up all over the central third with his hand grenades a la Keegan. Vestergaard fouls Kane, inducing the push in the back. The most pleasing thing isthat we have given our fans and our nation a fantasticnight and the journey carries on for anotherfour days. Read our, {{#verifyErrors}} {{message}} {{/verifyErrors}} {{^verifyErrors}} {{message}} {{/verifyErrors}}. So England did not relent. We have to think of the way we performed in the last game and bring it into this one. Weve played at home in big matches already, we've had to deal with the expectation of being at home and weve coped with that. The one change they have made in the subsequent four games was in pushing Braithwaite and Damsgaard higher in the rout of Wales until they were virtually level with Kasper Dolberg but we would expect them to be tucked behind this evening in a 3-4-2-1. Phillips wins the ball in midfield by the centre spot, shifts it 10 yards up to Kane who flicks it to the left for Grealish and Wass runs across him to bring him down. That can wait for now. They got there after coming from behind, after digging deep and never relenting. Corner for Denmark after good work from Dolberg to spin off down the right wing. When you're euphoric and on a wave in sport or life you can have that feeling it's never going to end and something becomes your right. We rely on advertising to help fund our award-winning journalism. England have made only one substitution to Denmark's five. Gary Neville and Ian Wright are joining in. !Should this have been an @England penalty? Henderson hits the deck in the area when the ball is worked over from the right but the referee signals for him to get up. Kasper Schmeichel who was outstanding thwarted Sterling but as England ferociously won the ball back Kane played a wonderful, defence-splitting pass to pick out the fit-again Bukayo Saka,the one changed from the quarter-final, who calmly slid the ball across the face of the area.

That is what led to the goal. Mount and Saka diddle Maehle and leave him on his backside with a slick one-two that sends Mount into the area but his cross is quickly closed down by Vestergaard and rebound out for a corner. England were always going to suffer adversity in this competition at some point. Ideally he would do what Chiesa did last night and bend it in to the far corner but instead he scuffs it straight at Schmeichel who falls forward to gather. Substitutes Lossl, Ronnow, Andersen, Skov, Skov Olsen, Mathias Zanka Jorgensen, Norgaard, Wass, Wind, Poulsen, Cornelius, Jensen. I love this team!! England have Denmark kettled in their own half. Earlier they asked him whether it was true he had seen Neil Diamond in concert: "Yeah, about 10 years ago. Twice in a minute Vestergaard beats Mount on the ground and Kane in the air. Crackling with anticipation, lots of singing and very obvious delight in the faces of the people here. Its about past glory & the perils of missed opportunities.Most importantly, its about hope hope that, despite the pain, never disappears.#ENG.
There will be no more semi-final heartache although Denmark, a team riding a wave of emotion of their own and who gave everything, made it excruciatingly fraught until Kane scored. England under the cosh here when Denmark break and go through England's midfield like it isn't there. FWIW it was soft but I think Jensen did catch his leg. England knock it upfield, Sterling hangs on to the ball on the left of the box, waits for Shaw on the overlap and he prods a cross through the six-yard box that strikes Hojbjerg and goes out for a corner. Braithwaite drills a right-foot shot from 22 yards that takes a nick off an English foot and Pickford opts to turn further round the post. The replay of the 'penalty' and the punditry consensus is that 'it could have gone either way'. What we really need from the first whistle is the players using the energy of the crowd to their advantage. And it was even more tender when Denmark scored. There is no need for dreaming or pained cries of what if?. How he deserves it. Not this time. The free-kick is 25 yards out, wide right. Schmeichel clawed away a Maguire header and, in added time, Kane swished a foot and failed to connect with Grealishs cut back. Excellent from Walker to read Dolberg's run when Maguire and Stones were suckered upfield and left themselves exposed to the long ball over the top and the centre-forward springing off Maguire's shoulder.
Maguire fires a pass up the left that Shaw turns round the corner first time but Denmark turn it away. Obviously it wasnt the penalty I wanted to execute, it went lower than I thought but it bounced back to me. Henderson is leading the pressing from midfield, trying to hold Denmark at arm's length as they try to work an opening. That's almost a lifetime in fact it's almost the span of this author's life the point being that these opportunities are remarkably rare for England and have remained, so far, stubbornly unfulfilled. Huge cheer. Back come England against a bank of Danish 5-4-1 clustered in the final third. I thoughtwe coped well and showed a goodteam spirit to win the game. England substitution: Kieran Trippier replaces Jack Grealish. Dolberg shoves Maguire as they go up for a header. "You can argue that the penalty shoot-out is better than the flip of a coin, but it is a very cruel way to lose matches.". Tonight England have the chance to reach their first major final for 55 years and with each step along the way through the knockout stages Gareth Southgate's team have looked more assured, clinical and savvy. Free-kick. Possibly cramp, possibly a twanged hamstring. Twice Sterling is put down the right but the first time he can't find the cross, the second time the ball is worked back to Phillips who takes on a shot with his left-foot swinger from 22 yards with predictable results. Mount takes and Maguire meets it at the back post, unable to get a proper run at it so he has to shoot up like a salted razor clam and can only steer it towards the bottom corner and Schmeichel snaffles it. A bit like Southgate. Two thirds full but the stadium looked packed in a baying, swaying mass. Seldom are the times when sport lifts a nations brow born a year too late for 1966, only 1990, 1996, and perhaps 2018 stand out in this lifetime. So good.
He has been here for othergames at thisEuros. He sees Saka as the right man for the job tonight, so there must be a reason for it. Last night Spain were the first to blink and released theirs at 6.48. But then maybe it was always going to be like that. It was never a penalty, so we can at least stop accusing other countries of gamesmanshiptodecide a game! "My main hope tonight is that the game won't go to penalties," he added. Denmark are down to 10 because of an injury. England probe down the left with Shaw and Grealish, switch it to the right for Sterling, Vestergaard stands his ground, winds Sterling and the cross comes over to Shaw whose centre is blocked out for a corner. England free-kick 30 yards from their goal. No changes. Its the first time we conceded in the tournament and I thought we showed good spirit to come back and win the game. That is an absolutely incredible save from Kasper Schmeichel :clap:#ENGDEN | #ITVFootball | #Euro2020 pic.twitter.com/guzEdhhoHP. Pickford scuffs a clearance into touch and from the throw, Poulsen arrows over a cross that Shaw hacks away and Denmark come again. Now it's about winning onSunday. The team bellows out God Save the Queen, the crowd flying ahead of the music and finishing a second early. Sterling was destined to bundle it home and Denmark captain Simon Kjaer had to intervene but could only send the ball high into his own goal. :astonished:#ENGDEN | #ITVFootball | #Euro2020 pic.twitter.com/kZdBM3deRe. It doesn't work like that. There is no need for tears, except for those shed in joy and relief. England knock it up the left for Foden who is squeezed out of space before he can do anything special but runs down the clock, too, as he earns a throw-in. He is here - possiblyat the invitation of a broadcaster.

Just as Jordan Pickford achieved a record for England, of not conceding for 723 minutes, he was beaten. Mount has to dig the ball out from his feet after a good run by Saka down the inside left but he can't get any purchase on it and chips it straight at Schmeichel. Rice makes 20 yards but his pass out to his left while dribbling is picked off by Hojbjerg and Denmark switch but Phillips wins a tackle, slips it up the right to Saka who is obstructed by Vestergaard because he didn't want him running at him. Playing with a back four was done only with Christian Eriksen in mind and since he was ruled out of the tournament after suffering a heart attack on the first Saturday, Denmark have reverted to a back three.

I think when you have waited as long as we have to get through a semifinal, the players,considering the limitedinternational experience, some of them, they have done an incredible job. They have to keep their width.
It certainly looks like the former Spurs player, and most recently the club's interim manager, Ryan Mason is here with the Kane family.
