Denmark looking v good against Serbia but it's still only 1-0. No room for mistakes, and ideally Denmark need to boost their GD if they can. 

I'd love for us to go in for Nelsson at CB from Midtjylland.

2-0 Denmark. Serbia switch off at a corner and Rasmussen taps in. 

I really thought Serbia were a dark horse for this whole thing, but they've really looked consistently poor.

Agreed. If they don't play for a draw it would foolish on both sides. Guaranteed semifinal berth is too sweet to chance. 

But that's what UEFA gets for using a crumby tournament format. Look at euro 2016: Portugal won it by winning just 1 game in regular time.  Letting the best 3rd placed (or in this case 2nd placed) teams leads to this type of end

besides the decision of the "best" 3rd placed team is relative at best. If a group has a "also ran" which everyone beats handily, that gives a huge advantage versus a group of death   

Obviously FIFA does not care about this as the 2026 World Cup will feature groups of 3!!!

We've blown three leads here. We just can't manage games at all.

Nine conceded in three games is shocking.

France vs Romania. Both teams need only a draw to progress. There have been 0 shots on target.

The stupid format of this competition has well and truly been exposed.

Nice hit by Jonjoe. Still made a horrendous cock-up last game. Hope he absolutely smashes it at Schalke this season, there's no reason why he shouldn't, but if he has an average season he'll be pretty much resigned to a career in the shadow of Alexander-Arnold and Wan Bissaka.

Ends 0-0.

That draw looked pretty dodgy indeed. This is something you can't stop happening though due to the format and it's been going on forever. Still, very entertaining semis on paper and that Romanian side looks brilliant.

I'm rooting for Romania too, but Germany is the more entertaining side.

After watching the second half of the semifinal I agree and add they're the better team aswell.

Not a great game at all. So many mistakes that costed us. With a bit attention, we could've win it, but that is. However, before tournament the odds weren't favourable for us to qualify from the group, but we did it from the first place. I am happy what boys achieved, heads up lads. We lost, but the journey continues. Next destination: Tokyo 2020.

Reine-Adelaide the difference maker again as he bursts into the box and wins a penalty. Mateta puts it away and France lead against Spain.

There's a massive difference in class between Spain and France. France are simply a physical side blessed with speed (again the physical). The manipulation of the sphere and the football is being played by just one team.
