Summary of England's 1: 2 victory over Denmark in extra time in the Euro 2020 semi-finals (Sport 1)

A day has passed, and England continue to celebrate the sweet immigration to the Euro 2020 final. Commentators and past players did not know their souls from happiness, when Gary Neville, who has experienced many failures with the team over the years, rejoiced and said: "It's amazing. We thought this day would never come, after "All the pain we experienced in previous tournaments, but we finally got to the final. The atmosphere at Wembley was electrifying, it was exciting. It comes down to these players, for the way they were conducted. Not only on the pitch, but off it as well."

Neville referred to the dubious penalty that decided the fate of the game, with Rahim Sterling doubt-knocking in the open, and admitted: "It's not a penalty for another million years either. "Without that penalty. The goal would have come."

Gary Lineker, however, is convinced it was the right decision: "I do not see what the fuss is about," he tweeted.

"It could have been two penalties here. After being on the wrong side of so many terrible decisions over the years, the England team deserves some luck."

"Before the tournament, I thought a semi-final would be a great achievement for this group. I thought it would be very difficult, that we meet Germany, France or Portugal, but we did it against the Germans and we will try to do it again to lift the trophy. I think the final will be very close, maybe he Will go to the penalties and there England will win. We trained a lot on penalties, so let's hope it was not in vain. I do not think a lot of goals will be scored in this game, the two teams are very strong on defense. I think it will end 1: 1 and then penalties. most".

According to Krager, this tournament is mainly written in the name of one player - Raheem Sterling: "I said after the home stage, he is the best player in England, by a large margin. Usually the outstanding player in the tournament comes from the champion, but not always. In my opinion, he is the leading candidate. Right now for the award. "

He surprises me with how strong he is regarding some of the decisions he's made, I've probably never been to such a lineup, and a lot of commentators would think like me.

It will be a worthy final between the two best teams, Harry Kane is going to produce a lot of problems for Italy. There will be a big thriller. I think several goals will be scored, I Going 2: 3 to England after extra time. "
