A thrashing of Ukraine in Rome saw the Three Lions make the last four at the tournament, as they did at the World Cup three years ago and last at Euros in 1996. Denmark have overcome near-tragedy following Christian Eriksen’s on-pitch collapse to sail into the semi-finals with little trouble. Can they stun Wembley on Wednesday and continue the fairytale?

Intriguingly, that was their first win by 3+ goals in a major tournament knockout match since 2002, when England beat Denmark 3-0 in their last competitive H2H win. England have conceded an average of one first-half goal per match across their last four games vs sides ranked inside FIFA’s top ten (W1, D1, L2).

Date: Wednesday, 7 July 2021
Kick-off at 20:00 UK/ 21:00 CET

Jubilant scenes back home – coupled with endless renditions of Baddiel and Skinner – both demonstrated the pride of England supporters for their team as well as a much-needed release following the events of the last 18 months.
