Denmark scored after 30 minutes of play from a superb free kick taken by Damsgaard. England had a lucky equalizer after Kjaer pushed the ball into his own net. As the score was 1-1 after 90 minutes, extra time was required to decide the winner. Harry Kane scored the winning goal, following the rebound of the penalty he missed.
Italy v Spain 2-1 after penalty shoutout
Italy looked solid against Belgium and the momentum was maintained against Spain. Chiesa opened the score and Morata equalized to send the game in extra time. No goals were scored and the game was decided after the penalty shoutout.
Italy v England - This match will have no underdog as both teams are starting with equal chances. The EURO 2020 winner may be decided my a small defensive mistake or a moment of brilliance from any of the top players. My personal opinion is that Italy has the capacity to make a better defensive game than England, while on the offence they have more experience.
Top scorers
Cristiano Ronaldo and Patrick Schick are the current top goal scorers with 5 goals, followed by Benzema and Forsberg, Lukaku and Kane with 4 goals. From the above players, only Harry Kane can challenge Ronaldo and Schick. He needs to score at least once to become a joint top scorer or twice to be the only winner.

Wembley stadium will host the 2020 euro finals for both teams - italy & england.
The best team team in the final should win.
The starting of this post reminded me of the Romans invasion of Britain In the 43AD. Will we be seeing another, I guess we will find out on Sunday.
Both teams have really done well to make it this stage. At this point, I can only wish the better team lift the trophy.
It's been a beautiful run, looking forward to the finals
