The penalty was so soft, and it's classic Sterling to go down like that. With that said, if you sit back and invite pressure like Denmark did in extra time, you are asking for trouble. The final should be fun. I have really enjoyed watching Italy this tournament, and I think they will win.
I am excited to watch the key battles in midfield. Specifically how Rice and Phillips will try and contain Verratti and Jorginho. The speed of England's attack may give Italy some issues. Spinazolla would have been ideal for this match, but Emerson looked lively for moments against Spain, and I think he will do just fine.

Lol, I am indeed. You'd think I'd have watched this Euro 2020 match with England and Denmark but I actually forgot it was on yesterday. Okay, I didn't realize Mount played, good deal. Hopefully he played a decent game. He has really come on strong this past season for Chelsea. Oh and by the way, if you take a look here in the Sports forum you'll see that I'm a Chelsea fan, lol.
Well I'm not going to predict who will win the final between England and Italy (my sports predictions failed me recently as you know) but it ought to be a good match. Yeah I noticed the Azzuri have played well lately.
On a side note, I'm also hopeful the USMNT becomes a force. They've got a great group of young players that are playing for high caliber clubs, particularly in Europe.
