That was a semi-final to live up to all that Euro 2020 had to offer. Two top teams — Italy and Spain — slogged it out over 120 minutes before Italy triumphed on penalties, with brilliant goals and so many chances going a-begging. It really had everything we hoped it would have to put a stamp on such a thrilling tournament.

00:00uh we needed extra time we needed penalties to find a winner and in the end it was the italians
00:06that held their nerve and got through
00:12good morning and welcome to golf news kicking back the chat show all about football i'm imran
00:17and i'm joined by my guests matt and shamsir and sahil uh okay let's start with some quick
00:23bits of transfer uh rumors that are doing around at the moment uh man city and england star raheem
00:28sterling is open to offers to leave the club but apparently pep guardian wants to keep him
00:34despite interest coming in from real madrid so that would be an interesting one uh barcelona
00:40are set to offer chelsea the chance to sign anton griezmann and that's because they're trying to
00:45offload as many top stars as they can just to keep messy at the club which seems like a bit of
00:51a risky move i mean they have to get rid of i think two or three more to to be able to afford
00:56to pay messily once and just finally liverpool have now jumped to the front of the queue to sign
01:03killing a mapping from psg imagine him up front with most sarin and money that'd be
01:10dangerous thing to think about anyway let's move on to yesterday's semi-final between italy and
01:15spain what a great game this was it was such a great game i can't remember every single detail
01:23but chiesa gave the gave italians the lead with such a great goal uh but then murata all people
01:29came off the bench got the equalizer uh we needed extra time we needed penalties to find a winner
01:35and in the end it was the italians uh that held their nerve and got through and i think we're all
01:41really happy that they did because that means we get to watch them one more time at euro 2020 because
01:47they've been the most entertaining team of the lot haven't they yeah it was uh it was a wonderful
01:51thing to watch yesterday um the scoreline didn't tell tell the story whatsoever it was chance after
01:57chance you couldn't take your eyes off it um and it was it was like it was like a rocky um
02:06boxing match you know it was going one way and then momentum was going with other ways spain
02:11had their chances to win it outright in 90 minutes um both teams had the chance to win
02:16extra time um but penalties is probably a fair result and um and italy conceded a goal that's
02:24breaking news um that was a big stuff um good and uh i did does that count as them not uh
02:32keeping up their win streak because they didn't win in 90 minutes people will debate that one as
02:36well um because that was uh that would have been 14 and it would have equaled the record
02:42um but i think they probably count it um but yeah i think it i don't know because
02:49spain was so good in that second half as well um but i
02:53it's definitely it's definitely a great result for italy the great result for the neutrals but uh
02:58spain will be absolutely gutted because it was there for the taking yeah what a game what a game
03:05you know it was a great advert to the to the euro 2020 and i was fairly surprised with uh with
03:11spanish side you know they were absolutely brilliant you know we have been mocking them
03:16and sahil has been calling them a funny team or and they were actually a funny team but yesterday
03:22they just turned up they i think they played their best football in the tournament yesterday and it
03:26was incredible to watch you know they take the things in into the ground and i think that they
03:31won the midfield battle in the beginning and they just marched italy in the midfield and the
03:36busquets and the little man pedry and koke all were playing their football and and stifled that
03:43italian midfield especially they didn't allow giorgino to play uh verati was struggling to get
03:48into the game barella was still you know he was trying his best but you know spain were controlling
03:54that midfield and patrolling it brilliantly and they were creating chance after chance and italy
03:59were in the back foot from the right in the beginning but then uh they just held on and uh
04:04we have seen ks is scoring a beautiful goal which came actually against the run of play you know
04:10spain were brilliant in that game and you have to mention one more guy olmo what a player he is man
04:15he has been one of the breakout players in this tournament you know he has been absolutely
04:19brilliant everything that spain did came through pedry and olmo they lacked a striker which is the
04:26thing you know spain is having and but but you know we are fairly surprised i i could say that
04:31because i i thought this italy could could smash uh spain but that was not the case you know spain
04:38with a better team yesterday but uh italy held on to their nails and they were showing all the
04:44dirty tricks in their armory to to just get through the line and you could see
04:48chelani being a leader on that italian side he was absolutely immense and he was showing
04:54character man he was showing cold-bloodedness i would say that you know right before the penalty
05:00kick you know the way that he was laughing with jodi alba where jodi alba was actually shivering
05:06and this guy was just being a bro and just taking the chill pill you know like he was absolutely
05:12incredible and you could see uh even even uh georginio's penalty you know if you if you thought
05:17that uh uh chelani was cold-blooded you saw the hop skip and jump from georginio man that was the
05:24mother of all cold-bloodedness unbelievable this this italian side you know overall for the
05:30tournament like they they deserve to go to the final but for yesterday you know like spain were
05:35absolutely brilliant you have to give credit to enrique and and the boys you know they gave it
05:39everything and uh the the future is looking bright for spain if they can find a striker
05:43from somewhere like with the likes of for lewandowski or someone you know they could do
05:48a lot better and we're all happy that it was such an entertaining game
05:55yeah i mean i gotta say first of all that thank god i don't support both teams because i just
06:00enjoyed the 120 minutes without any pressure you know so i so but what a game of football man okay
06:07yes italy won but the game was just wow you know i was entertained throughout not even one minute
06:12was boring for me but i felt bad for spain you know this was the first time you know they played
06:17good football like you know and i gotta say i don't know what happened to danny almo yesterday
06:22this guy was on fire it turned into prime iniesta prime whatever i can think of in this legendary
06:29spain prime chavi it was a mix of him you know and you know i've got to say you know the two of
06:34the best players on the pitch alvaro morata came on and made a huge impact not only because of the
06:39goals some touches he had was also brilliant and danny almo ran through the game and you know this
06:44funny how funny football is those two missed the penalties so you know it was just so like sad you
06:50know and i gotta say spain played better than italy but as shamsher had mentioned quite a while
06:55before that it's all about it's all about getting over the line and italy just did that and they got
07:00something special from chiesa it's his first major tournament right and what a goal that was and
07:07you know i just feel bad for spain you know this was such an organized performances like
07:11the first half i saw the first 45 minutes in spain which is brilliant like donnarumma but
07:17i have a question like whenever like of the penalties were happening does donnarumma
07:21intimidate the the penalty kicker like he's so tall and does the spot kicker like get intimidated
07:28like oh this guy's huge how am i going to score past him yeah i mean these things do happen the
07:34keepers you know they practice they study each and every player they know which way you know
07:38some of these players are going to put the ball similarly the strikers and the people taking
07:42penalties know what the keepers tend to do whether they stay in the middle of the goal
07:45dive left or right they leave it late they come back a yard or forward they study all these
07:49things i mean we do call it a lottery but to be honest a lot of practice and effort goes into
07:55taking the penalties but you're right he's a huge guy his physical presence i mean he probably fills
08:00the entire goal when he's standing there uh but just going back to italy there uh they're 33 games
08:06unbeaten now which is a tremendous effort ever since mancini's uh been in charge that are
08:11disappointing uh you know that didn't make the last world cup but ever since then he's actually
08:16transformed them but uh like you touched on i mean they were really made to work hard for this result
08:21yesterday i mean it could have really gone either way it's a shame in a way that it needed penalties
08:26to decide such a game because i mean you know if they both could have gone through i don't think
08:31anybody would have been upset about that yeah well uh then was um both teams had the woodwork i think
08:39and i think um italy had the woodwork at least twice um so the game could easily be decided before
08:45penalties the one thing that um really stood out for me in the game other than its end-to-end action
08:52was the uh the support and unity that the teams had for each other um before the penalties they
09:00were but honestly they were giving each other mental support they know they've been through a
09:06battle it was like the heavyweight fighters hugging in the final round you know um and uh you saw the
09:13way that um donnarumma um consoled simon after the he went straight to him everybody was celebrating
09:19he was straight over to see monks he knew that they had both been through such a battle and uh that
09:25from from the erickson moment and the unity you've seen it's been amazing for football because people
09:32think about these teams being rivals cheats diving being namar um but actually throughout this
09:38tournament you've seen it they've all had each other's backs and that's what the game's about
09:43as i said on the um the live chat last night this isn't a war after all this is this is just
09:50a sport at its finest and to see that sporting spirit it was just brilliant that's a really
09:55good point actually i mean i think uh purely maybe possibly i'm just thinking out loud here that after
10:00the erickson incident i think everybody all the teams have really come around and you know put
10:04the differences aside there hasn't been any kind of malicious fouls or dirty games or any sort of
10:09you know really reckless tackles and yesterday i remember one incident uh i think just before
10:14it's on about to start enrique and kiaza on the touchline having a real laugh and a joke just
10:18before the game's about to start this is the opposing manager and one of their best players
10:22i mean you would have thought you know they'd be keeping their distance but uh and also what
10:26difference it makes to have 60 000 fans back in a stadium to support both teams i mean it was uh
10:31what an incredible atmosphere if you were still living well we still are but if we still had
10:35restrictions for covid and it was maybe you know five thousand or a thousand people there it would
10:39have been a it would have been a totally different uh evening wouldn't it have been
10:46the fans make a difference obviously you know like uh i think there at wembley i think italy
10:52had more fans than spain i think you know uh but you know like the fans definitely make a difference
10:57you know we have been waiting to watch these guys you know roaring for the teams that makes
11:02definitely a difference man and uh for spain you know i thought you know they lacked a leader on
11:07the pitch uh because you could see the difference in both teams you know italy uh they were trying
11:12all the dirty tricks like i mentioned earlier and they had a leader like many leaders were there
11:16but they had a leader of the leader who was georgio cheleni but spain didn't have anyone
11:20to pull them like you say that okay even even you could see their captain was shivering when
11:25the penalties were going on you know like uh just right before the penalties you know i think
11:30enrique missed a trick by not taking sergio ramos to the tournament maybe you know like that could
11:35be a talking point because sergio ramos is made up for these kind of situations you know like he
11:40has that that kind of an aura within him you know he's such a character i think spain missed someone
11:45like it would definitely have been more dirty tricks exactly that's a really good point actually
11:53you know when he was omitted from the squad it was the first time in i don't know how many years
11:57that there wasn't any real Madrid players in the spanish team but having someone like that purely
12:02in a situation like we were in yesterday i mean you're right it could have helped the team it
12:06could have made them you know calm a few nerves like before it was hilarious just before the
12:10penalties were about to be taken uh chelini he got alba in a massive bear hug he was literally
12:17just grabbing the guy i mean that takes the pressure off the rest of the score when you see
12:21you know your captain doing these sort of things and that sort of uh you know spreads into the
12:25squad there's a bit less pressure there okay well look at telly missed the first penalty but still
12:30after that you can see that uh italy is really just generally a really happy camp they are they
12:35are you know they're playing with a lot of spirit you know like uh spain i would blame the manager
12:40for giving him the kick you know like he's such a mentally weak player and you are giving him
12:45one important crucial penalty kick in the in the shootout is an absolute disaster from
12:50the manager himself because knowing him you know we have seen him how he misses easy chances you
12:55know he he has got all the abilities in the world don't mistake me you know like he has all the
13:00abilities in the world because he's a technically good striker his problem is psychological he's
13:05mentally very weak and to put him in such a situation uh that was wrong from enrique you
13:10know and he had to pay pay the price for it you know i noticed one thing uh just when the after
13:16extra time was over they were deciding who's going to take the penalties uh murata in the
13:21group i can't literally i can't speak spanish either but he clearly said i'll take one and
13:25enrique looked at him raised his eyebrows and i think he said are you sure it looked like it was
13:30a comment like that in spanish obviously but uh i think you're right i mean uh it was you know
13:36let someone else take it we know what he's like in that same game yesterday okay he's got a really
13:40good goal but there's another moment he ran through down the left flank and you know he's
13:44got past i think it was bonici and he's a really heavy touch and he just kicked the ball off i mean
13:49that could have been a chance they could have gone two one up but uh yeah the penalties do you think
13:55he should have taken one so he'll honestly guys i i gotta say yes he should take one you know he's
14:00the leading striker you know on a day cristiano ronaldo can miss a penalty leonel messi can miss
14:05the penalty so i can alvaro murata not miss you know so but that's the thing we we all feel that
14:11he can miss more often than not it's nothing wrong you know he yes i can agree with shamsher that
14:18there is you know he's mentally a bit weak you know he doesn't have that like that hunger of
14:22like you know the mentality to like yes i'll do it but it's nothing wrong you know he took the
14:27penalty and he got it's it's saved now by donnarumma he can't do anything about it anybody can
14:32miss on the day so i'm not gonna blame him you know he played well unfortunately he had a good
14:38game and a bad game indian he turned out to be the villain unfortunately for spain i just feel
14:42very sorry for him because he made a brilliant impact and like i said this is football you know
14:47you can turn into a villain anytime yeah yeah i was just going to say you'll see him go on and
14:57have an absolute stellar season now in fact when he hit 20 penalties because that's what can happen
15:02um you know the the transition from club to country as sometimes it's one way from being a
15:09pogba to uh sometimes it's you can be like a maratha and uh it just uh it just doesn't click
15:16because you've only got three weeks to get it right it's not like you've got nine months um
15:20and players during a season can better form for you know four four to six weeks everybody and
15:26anybody um so i think it's uh it's a bit of a shame if we have to pin the blame on anybody
15:32especially after it was such an entertaining game and i i just uh congratulate them all i mean
15:38italy knew that they were they were dead on their feet after 120 minutes they knew
15:44that they were they were staggering off players were cramping up they'd left it all out there
15:48both teams and that's what will live in the memory for me yeah it was a really good game it was a
15:55brilliant game i mean from the very first second right till the end drama all the way just how we
15:59wanted it to be the other one today the second semi-final is uh england against denmark and if
16:05if england win it will secure their place for the first time in a major men's final since 1966 and
16:11i really hope we do it not just to get some fun but i'm just so sick of hearing about 66
16:17the most annoying thing all the time we've been unlucky several times after that we all remember
16:21italian 90 losing to penalties in the semis against germany and then six years later euro
16:2796 again penalties to germany uh you know they've come close a couple of times there but uh this is
16:33the best chance that england's gonna have we've you know we've been saying it they've been lucky
16:37with the draws they had ukraine in the quarterfinals they've got denmark now tonight uh you know no
16:43disrespect to denmark they've been brilliant they've been really good and we've all wished
16:46them really well especially after the ericsson incident and uh but they've got this far they've
16:51got this far they can they can bow out now with their heads held high so do us a favor denmark
16:59getting onto wishful thinking there as well and we've all we've all seen what denmark can do
17:03and we all know that they can uh punch above their weight as they've done throughout this
17:08tournament and they'll um they they'll know how close they are as well they'll be speaking you
17:14speaking to his dad peter schmeichel who was in that 92 team that went all the way and won the
17:19euros they'll be getting advice left right and center so how to do this and keep the momentum
17:24going keep the spirit there and uh yeah um you would never have predicted i don't think anybody
17:31would have predicted i'm getting this far so i don't think we can count them out of getting to
17:35the final either you know um but on paper and heads over heart
17:44i think there will be keen's got his touch and sterling's been great all the way through
17:50maybe southgate i'll get the message about greelish and they'll they'll they'll just um
17:56come out barnstorming 60 000 fans or well maybe even more if he's sneaking um behind them
18:05there's not going to be an equal split it's going to be mostly yeah
18:09so i think it's like the sound the sound tonight is going to be a astounding you know especially
18:14given that we've all been missing it for a year it'll be up there rivaling budapest which was an
18:19amazing atmosphere um but i think that uh that you know like they won't need that 12th man the way
18:25that hungary rode on their uh support um they'll uh they'll be too strong and denmark will get
18:32applauded off the pitch but probably at the wrong end of a 3-0 result
18:38before touching to the to the england game you know i have to mention about one thing
18:42about alvaro morata you know like matthew mentioned that he could go on and have a
18:46great season now but you know we all know that his problem has been mental thing you know like
18:50now after missing that crucial penalty i don't know how is he going to affect him psychologically
18:55you know he has been scoring goals for spain i think he has surpassed even fernando torres but
19:01i don't know man how it's going to affect him uh may the god bless him but the next thing uh
19:06next thing coming to the england thing you know like yes denmark have been surpassed everyone's
19:12expectation they have been absolutely brilliant you know yesterday there was in the press uh
19:15uh one of the journals asked um schmeichel that is it coming home and he gave a fitting reply
19:22to that you know whether it has come home anytime ever before you know like that was a good question
19:27that was a good banter you know from from schmeichel like like matty mentioned uh
19:32casper can take a take a leaf out of his dad's books and win the euros because he has already
19:39won the premier league and fa cup like his dad so the only thing is that is uh left in his
19:45armory is the is the euro and uh he you know you can he can do that denmark are playing brilliant
19:51football you know they're not like uh sitting back and absorbing pressure or defending like
19:55greece or portugal you know they are playing some scintillating football you know like so they they
19:59could uh they could play without without any fear they could just you know at the home of at the
20:05home of football it's the temple of football like what you call uh uh wembley you know they can just
20:11fly without wings you know i don't know what i'm saying so it's it's it's that kind of a it's that
20:19kind of a moment for them you know like they can without any pressure they can play their football
20:23but like like maddie mentioned on paper england should should progress because this is a golden
20:28chance to break the semi-final hoodoo like imran mentioned you know like three semi-finals they
20:33have lost ever since their 1966 semi-final the recent one was world cup semi-final loss against
20:39croatia uh this is a golden chance for them to to get into the final and meet an italy who have
20:46played most of their games against the tougher opponents and uh they have given it all even
20:52yesterday they had to play the 120 minutes it was mentally draining you know it was that kind
20:57of a game if england can get their job done in 19 minutes it'll do a world of good for them and they
21:02are playing as a team they haven't conceded a goal you have to give because we have been uh
21:07criticizing garrett southgate for all this while but we have to give him credit for for taking
21:11england to the semi-final without even conceding a goal but now this is a real test i believe
21:17because with the pressure i just want to see how england are going to perform i'm going with a
21:23denmark win okay i mean first of all i'm just praying to god that it doesn't go to penalties
21:34please not for england not for england no penalties just win it in the 90 minutes
21:40try to get through by scoring one funny goal like i don't know i don't know just anything goes in
21:48oh harry mcguire's bottom
21:53because pickford's got five and that's the most in the tournament uh the closest one team was
21:58done rumor but because he conceded the goal yesterday the most he can now get is four
22:02in the final you can see i mean pickford's done really well uh but so has the rest of the defense
22:08how good has pickford and the defense been for england in this tournament they've been they've
22:12been really good haven't they yeah i mean that's been a solid um i was um quite an open critic of
22:18harry mcguire um but uh he's come in um after he's um he missed the first couple of games through
22:24injury but uh he uh he's really steadied him as well stones have been great um and uh pickford is
22:31we keep saying when's the blooper coming when's the blooper coming um because um but he's he's
22:38been rock solid his confidence is through the roof he saw the way that he was screaming and
22:41shouting and celebrating just when he's coming out to uh save a save a corner and uh you know
22:49collect the ball saying he's really marshalling those defenders well he's found his voice um
22:55and uh he's uh they're good uh in a way that we've not really seen um even up through qualifying
23:03english defense wasn't really like this uh you know this unit and um even there was even debate
23:10as about which goalkeeper should be starting for england you know and the team selections for
23:14southgate but uh you know the southgate's been proven right with uh his selections so far you
23:20just have to look at the last game when he stuck with cane and he just he just uh really found his
23:26shooting boots and uh right the way through uh kieran davis uh another masterful stroke by
23:34bringing him in um and uh fordham has been uh in and out and great maybe greelish is the only
23:42criticism because he's not really been uh getting enough game time in my opinion um but uh sterling's
23:48been great he's been relied on to step up when cane wasn't firing but now they've got both of
23:54them it's just going to they're going to be great fun to watch yeah so what about the team selection
23:59tonight it's going to be interesting to see obviously he's going to start with kane and
24:02sterling but does he give uh the southgate give greelish like you mentioned him at uh does he
24:06start the game or does he come on like he's been doing after after an hour or does he uh stick with
24:11maun or does he give fordham who've you know completely forgotten about since after that
24:15first croatia game he's really been uh he's been on the fringes there there's rashford sitting
24:19around sancho made his first start he only played because sacca was injured is he going to be back
24:24is he fit again to start uh i mean there's plenty of things that he can do but uh bearing in mind
24:29whatever he's done up until now has worked really well so you know it's hard to question any decisions
24:34that he's got to make or he's made so far so i think southgate credit to southgate i was one of
24:38his uh not biggest uh critics but uh i always felt like if there's going to be a weakness in his team
24:44it could just be with the manager making a you know making a silly decision or something that
24:48just doesn't seem right and uh well on paper he did them but they've all come right so you really
24:54can't really criticize anything that he's done so far what do you think he's proven himself
24:59hasn't he at the top level yeah uh this is what i've been telling you guys you know like he has
25:04made these guys you know play two for two formations you know comfortably that that's the credit to the
25:10manager you know like he can switch the formation anytime he wants so we don't know what formation
25:13is going to play tonight so that's the thing you know even the managers the opposition manager
25:18casper heumann will be thinking what what what formation england is going to come up against i
25:22don't know so that's thing whether it's a four at the back or three at the back i don't know because
25:26both the formations england are playing brilliantly that is a credit to the manager but some of his
25:30decisions are still dubious i don't know why grillish is not starting many games because
25:34he is the one player with the magic in him which we have already discussed about
25:38but you know i have to say one thing about this england team you know like
25:42which is completely different from the from the england english teams that we have seen
25:46in the past you know like they play as a unit which is which is a great thing which you don't
25:51see normally because the club rivalries and everything that usually takes the toll on on
25:56these players you know usually the manchester city players will have that animosity with the
26:01united players the arsenal chelsea rivalry the arsenal tottenham rivalry all this comes
26:07into the team and they don't really gel well together but the new boys the new generation
26:12boys they don't really care about that when when the when they wear the where the english national
26:17color you know like they just want to play for the pride the club animosity they're just keeping
26:22it aside which is a good thing for the for the country and you can see even gareth southgate
26:28being very bold in his decision making you know he's playing calvin phillips instead of jordan
26:34henderson which is a great thing you know like you need to play people on merit and he's doing
26:39that so you have to give credit to southgate for picking up the players for not the stature of the
26:45club they are playing for who would have thought you know like at the heart of the midfield you
26:49could see a player from leeds united playing for england you know so this is this is great you know
26:54so they are playing as a unit uh you have to give them credit for uh for reaching to the
27:00semi-finals without even considering a goal i think i think on paper uh england have all the
27:05quality to go through but i have a thing that mental it's it's a it's a physical it's a
27:10psychological thing playing in front of the fans with a huge expectation i think they could crumble
27:17crumble oh god i thought you were gonna that's a complete that's a shocker this
27:24storm to a three or four nil win but crumble good point i mean it's a good point there's
27:28a lot of pressure you know the press and the media everybody really tipping them really
27:32heavily now because they've got this far they've got the home advantage they've been playing very
27:35well not conceded a goal like we said you know it could all fall apart fingers crossed it doesn't
27:41but uh i think it'll i don't think we're gonna see as an exciting game as we saw yesterday obviously
27:47italy and spain play a different brand of football england and denmark are kind of very similarly
27:52matching it might even look like a like a premier league kind of a game you know very similar sort
27:55of game uh i just want to give a quick mention though to luke shore who i think again back four
28:02and pickford he's been tremendous for war for england he's made that left-back position his
28:06own there was competition in the squad for those positions but he's looking solid in defense
28:12i think uh imran i have to mention uh luke show they're calling him sober to carlos now
28:18the english teams you know it was the mention actually he has been their player of the
28:22player of the tournament for me you know like people talking about sterling but i think show
28:26has been absolutely immense in that left-back role and he has taken his form from the premier
28:31league to uh to the euros you know he has had a wonderful season with united and i think he's
28:35having he's playing his best football uh and with all the criticism jose marino is giving on
28:41about him you know he's just performing brilliantly he he's got that nickname
28:47carlos and i think he's doing well next go on imran
28:54yeah all right what's your predictions again you've mentioned them already let's go around
28:58again i'm gonna go i'm gonna go with a two nil to england the dames have been really good but i
29:03think uh i think the semi-finals is as far as they're going to get matt what did you say three
29:06nil yeah three nil um the the the one worry for england is um if he doesn't start if southgate
29:14doesn't start greelish um you might find the fans start getting on his case a little bit and that
29:19could be reflected on the field and the players start getting a bit more cagey but i think that
29:25like we saw that the last time out at the wembley um when england were there was the uh the fans
29:31were getting a little bit flat um but england just raised their game and um they they went on to win
29:39uh so yeah like i said three nil and i think that they won't need that 12th man they'll do it quite
29:43usually so what was yours uh on paper you know like uh like we have mentioned england should
29:51cruise cruise the game with with harry kane peaking at the right moment and like soberto carlos is
29:57playing so well uh but uh i'm i'm going against the the runoff you know play or whatever you call
30:06i think uh the pressure will take the toll on these guys the expectation will take the toll
30:10on the english boys and denmark with full freedom i think they're gonna win two one
30:16oh semi-final heartbreak again and uh so he'll just get over the line man i said to score one
30:24goal and just go to the final and give you a hundred percent just get over the line you know
30:28because denmark are a dangerous team um it's gonna be tough for england for sure it's not gonna be
30:34and yeah i agree let's hope that happens uh okay that's all from us for today uh we'll be back
30:44tomorrow in the meantime head to gulfnews.com for all the latest news and we'll see you later
