How bad was the Ukraine defending today? Answer- very bad. So England has 2 matches at home to win it's biggest trophy in forever, and they get to play Denmark in the first match. Feels like it could happen, which is probably a very bad sign! Yeah, if I remember correctly, the England fans were feeling pretty good going into their World Cup semi with Croatia in 2018. I am starting to think that England might be the best team in the world for the first time in my life. If they win this tournament, they'll likely be the World Cup favorite next year. They won't be the favorite. I'm not sure they'll be the best team in Europe by next year. I think Italy missing the last World Cup proved a big motivator. What they are doing now with an aggressive offense is sustainable and most of their team is young, age-wise, perfectly set up for the next couple cups. I watched Brazil in the Copa semifinal win with ten. I think you're going to see a really good Brazilian team coming up with this next cup. The other issue no one will be able to control is the silliness of hosting it in the persian gulf. Those temperatures are going to affect things in unexpected ways, but I also think it will drain the endurance of older teams quicker than younger one.s

Brazil always has a case, I guess. But we're now getting up to 20 years without Brazil winning a World Cup, and I'm not really sold on them lately. Maybe it was the sight of seeing them get absolutely thrashed at home by Germany in a World Cup semifinal, but I think the mystique around Brazil is largely gone at this point.

Italy will be without Spinazzola the rest of the tournament. 😢

Ok, this was hilarious. I also liked that the guy on Twitter took at shot at that deadbeat Grandpa Joe.

Denmark scored first on a direct free kick, but England responded with pressure to force an own goal. They were tied at 1-1 at halftime.

England has gone ahead 2-1 in extra time on a very controversial penalty.

Glad England is through. That was an iffy call, but on balance I think they were the better team on the day. Good match.
