No again, but secretly you think yes but don’t want to jinx it
As a Swede, I am obliged to root against Denmark because they are siblings and I want them to do well but never that well. As a European, I am obliged to root against England because how can you banter with the rosbifs if they take the Euro championship?

I am now legally obligated to post my favorite shots fired in the ancient war between the Danes and the English.
The thing I love most about this is that the names of the days of the week in English all come from the Norse names: Moon day, Tyrs day, Odins day, Thor’s day, Frey’s day, Sun day.
Why is Saturday missing? Because in the Norse languages that day is “lögardagen”, or the day of bathing. So the English were fine honoring the Norse gods, but don’t you dare try and make them take weekly baths.
(I’ve not actually confirmed this in any way, but it feels right)

Regarding the danish rainbow flag. Apparently the UEFA wouldn't even let VW use rainbow coloured ads in the stadiums in Russia and Azerbaijan.
I wish some of these companies that are supporting Pride by using rainbow colours should show solidarity by removing all advertisements from countries and events that refuse. It would show far more of a statement on intent to support for the LGBTQ+ communities in those countries if the world watching stadiums in Russia and Azerbaijan with no sponsorship.
Anyhow, Italy Spain is going to be tight. Normally Id say Italy all the way but Spinazzola injured is a massive blow for Italy and I can see Spain being Spain and scraping through.

Yes, if “it” is absurd pre-tournament over-hyping of a team followed by under achievement
So, England/Italy final the most likely outcome of the semis? Spain don't look great and even though Denmark are probably the best team England have come up against so far I don't think they'll have enough to win.
But also I can see Spain sneaking it and Denmark finally finally tripping the lol fail button that is always in the England manager's dugout.

Switzerland knocking France out was a shock!

It was certainly shocking at the time, but the French have their own tradition of sporting implosions, so it forms part of that rich Bayeuex-esk tapestry.

I think I'll watch Spain Vs Italy and just keep an eye on the England Vs Denmark game, just incase something amazing happens like England go two goals down within twenty minutes.
I have an costco sized bag of popcorn ready, just in case.
Edit: Oh, they're on different days, Never fucking mind then.

I predict Denmark will score first, Pickford will have a meltdown, and we'll scrape through in the 89th or something.
