In a combined XI, no Danish player gets in the team.

Really, England should win this easily if they play well, or scrappily if they play poorly. Elimination would be unthinkable
 
DCL taking a cold shower is a good shout.. really shouldn't find ourselves in a position where we need to chase the game late on
 

This might not be an exact parallel, so bear with me. But I view the position of England's football team in this tournament as being similar to the predicament the Brazil team of 1970 and the Argentina team of 1978 found themselves in: knowing that any succss would be used as an affirmation of a regime.

You can be sure if England reached the final on Sunday and won it the government would exploit it to the full and the about to be massively out of control Covid19 infection rates thereafter will be lost in an avalanche of jingoism.

As said, not an exact parallel, as we dont live under a military junta. But it's not so much of a stretch to be dismissed out of hand.

Of course, Jan Molby, squeezing Liverpool onto our screens wherever possible.
Granada did most of its 15 minutes at 6 on local NW players at the tournament. No mention of Jordan Pickford.. clean sheets or otherwise. I didnt expect DCL's cameo to be mentioned and he wasn't. Yet...the grinning idiot on there managed to shoe-horn in ex RS Coady "even though he hasnt been on the pitch". Good job were used to it.
