the nations and the heat and there was a goalless draw and they also lost england one nail and christian eriksename and scored the winner and of course what the danes are doing here is motivated by that terrible incident, the trauma in their first match of when christian eriksen collapsed on the pitch. they are going out and playing every single match for him. that is what is motivating them. the england players were deeply affected by that as well. gareth southgate cancelled one of his news conference as they waited to hear positive news. he recovered at home, which is fantastic news, but obviously this meeting england are going to have to put all that emotion to one side. they are obviously riding a wave of emotion after what happened with christian as well and that is understandable so it is going to be a fantastic game to be a part of. we have got more experience as a group of those sorts of games and individually the players have got experience of those games, which is definitely helpful, but we have got to do that now on wednesday night. i am conscious it is notjust our country that has be

from that awful thing that happened to christian eriksen in the first match it felt that there very much the danish team in the whole tournament. i think it has something to do with coaching because the team could have fallen apart if they did not have a good leader and team behind them and, especially the national coach was able to bring the team up to an extraordinarily high level and get them to a semi—final. they are a good mix of young and older players in the danish team. experience and youth. what is it about the danish team other than the manager that gives you the edge? you have done very well in this tournament and i think denmark is ranked number 10 in the world in terms of international teams. it is a strong side. and it has been very good. but you have to remember that the majority of these danish international players play in major leagues around europe, italy and spain and england and germany and only a few of them play in the league in denmark. so they do match the english players. it is painful, i know, but what is your prediction for sunday evening? who will win? defini
