we are not takg denmark lightly, by any means.ve some great players, a great unit of a team, as well. kasia: denmark have already had a tournament they will ner forget. the team was shaken in the first game atheir star player, christian erksen, collapsed on the pitch and then went into cardiac arrest. it is still not clear whether he will play again. he is the goalkeeper asking -- when asked about the idea of foball coming home to england. >> what would it mean to you guys to stop it from coming home tomorrow night? >> has it ever been home? have you ever won it? >> 1966. >> was about the world cup? >> the whole thing about a national tournament coming home finally, what would it mean to you to stop that from coming home? >> to be honest, i have not given any thought to what it would mean to stopping, than what it would do for denmark. i have not been focused on the england national team. kasia: here is an author explaining the similarities between him and southgate. >> england really connected to the country in a way that we have

who are the dangers up for denmark? , ., ., �* ., ., denmark?d, but when you analyse the squad in depth, england have got by far the better individuals, we always question whether they can put it together in a tournament, we have seen it in the world cup at last, they had three years ago, time to work together and you see the fruits of that and have a stop denmark are similar, they have kasper schmeichel, he is a leader, he got —— there are other players with a fantastic season, thomas delaney also. there is no coincidence they are where they are, they are a good player, and of course, they have the added incentive to do well, the terrible tragedy with christian eriksen, so they have that in the back of their minds. they will be really up for the game this evening. you mentioned whatjordan henderson is doing in the background, but every player who has come in or only played little bits, they are all making a contribution, aren't they? grealish, sancho, henderson, bukayo saka, etc. is that quite a key to the success so far? it saka, etc. is that

of course with denmark as well players familiar to us, the captain who has been a real leaderfor denmarkr. and mikhail who is been expression of figure, he is, to replace christian eriksen following his collapse in the opening match. it will be interesting because we saw england able to give some of those players that have not been involved in this tournament so far some match time in the comfortable win in ukraine can be wonder whether will be as comfortable again and just how will and can respond if they are put under pressure? let's say they concede early in this match. england will show their mettle and we'll see what they're made of the weather they cannot and this and see if it's a christmas cup up this and see if it's a christmas cup up the semi finals. they have lost the last four of them. if there are put under pressure tonight what can they do? we will find out shortly as we edge closer to kick—off around an hour to go before things get under way here. hour to go before things get under wa here. a , hour to go before things get under wa here. , :, :, , way here. many thanks for

denmark will get 16 —0! trouble for denmark, maybe. so, conscious of england's clean sheets, but perhaps they can capitalise on their dual nationality. some of the children here have one english parent and one danish parent. so where do the loyalties lie there? oh, i don't know! i think you have to ask them! what are you going to do? who are you supporting? well, i'm going to have to support denmark because i'm going to go to wembley in the danish section! so you've got no choice! but if england still win, yeah, i'll still be cheering for them. a win—win then for these kids tonight. whether it's the white and red flag or the red and white. luxmy gopal, bbc news. let's speak to lucy williamson in copenhagen. and what's the mood in denmark itself? the fan zone is starting to fill up but support for the team tonight goes well beyond the normal football cycles are not just goes well beyond the normal football cycles are notjust because this country of 5.5 million has a team in the semifinal but because they did

denmark and if we get knocked out i will be so sad.mark fans had a different take on things and had no intention of being just sacrificial lambs before lions. obviously if denmark win today we will replicate what we did in 1992 and get through to the final and hopefully be back here on sunday. and that idea did not seem too far—fetched. when the danes took the lead on the 30 minute mark. a stunning freekick from mikkel damsgaard making it1—0. but within ten minutes england were level. a danish own goal sending wembley into raptures. we had to to wait until extra time for a winner. raheem sterling going down in the box, penalty. up stepped harry kane whose shot was saved but then he tapped in the rebound. england had done it. maybe football is coming home after all. i've not heard wembley like that ever and to be able to share that with everybody and share it with everybody at home is very special. spare a thought for denmark who have been riding an emotional rollercoaster since their star player, christian eriksen collapsed in their fi

you cannot write off denmark.note that this is a huge opportunity and he has been very good at keeping his players beat on the ground and they created a wonderful culture in that squad and he seems to be making the big decisions both inside the dressing room and on the pitch and he has been able to change players and we have seen introducing players at the right time. he has done really well so far in this tournament. it could account for nothing if they cannot get over the line tonight. all eyes on their way at the moment as i say in the first half at the moment, no goals so far but you wonder what if england are put under pressure tonight? what will they produce? it would be a fascinating 90 minutes of football for sure. fascinating 90 minutes of football forsure. it fascinating 90 minutes of football for sure. it could be more than 90 minutes, there could be penalty. that is hope it is an england victory inside 90 minutes and that us look at some of the pictures around the country of england finds watching and

well, it's denmark against england tonight. you probably say they would rather play denmark given england, will be at home if they get through to the final. but italy don't fear anyone. i mean they're on a recalled on beat and run for italy of $33.00 matches, which is quite incredible. and roberta mancini is in a fantastic job coach because he didn't even qualify for the last woke up and he's got a great blend of youth and experience and also the real team bone. you can tell him when they don't concede to go, they celebrate as much when they don't continue to go when they score one. i mean, i used to work in italy and i left exactly 10 years ago. and the defense central defense partnership, 10 years ago was the, another new jersey, and you're killing me. who is it today? the same to, i mean, they know each of us so well. i mean, they're like a wall, but they will be a little wary of denmark and of history repeating itself after $992.00. we can have a look now watch live. why this is becoming a bit of a special tournament for th

but those ericsson is the focal point of denmark's emotion. that may feel there could have died after collapsing in the 1st match against finland. and liquid denmark were after 2 games of the tournaments without their best player and boston and the group without a single point. many had written them off for they coached, caspar human. there's much to be proud of. the last 4 weeks has been the emotions of a lifetime. it's been, it's been crazy. we have been facing this in a way we. i never hope i should. we almost lost our best player. all best friends, the heart of the team. we thought with emotions like crazy, we didn't know what to do. we didn't know how to get through it. we tried to fight the best we have learnt through. that's these emotions. we have played fantastic football. we have shown who we are and who are they then? exactly. the plucky underdog going all the way against the odds. that really would be something for the football romantics. the. all right, let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. t

and i tend to be answered well, when you're in denmark, does this, does this system work in denmark and can you see it working for the u. k? it is, it is not a system that is working in denmark. it is still just a member of understanding and as i said, there is no such agreement between denmark and one day, yet just simply a miranda of understanding and one's in foreign policy just issued a statement a few days ago to stipulate that there's no such agreements with denmark, to actually set up an auction and the one that took to process these, assign them applications. so i think from a legal point of view, these are very questionable, proposes and statements that are being made. not just by, of course, the danish government or other government seeking to emulate the english statement, not least, austria as well. so sorry. and i was just going to ask you, we heard pretty but to tell calling on european union countries to step up and work with the u. k. but isn't it the case that prior to breaks it, the u. k. had an agreement with you countries or returning migrants which became defunct wh

we saw defender, the denmark captain.ish, anna, as we know he's been instrumental as a game changer for know he's been instrumental as a game changerfor england know he's been instrumental as a game changer for england and some of these matches. it went to extra time as we saw in the semifinal last night with italy against spain. no penalties needed this time, but the crucial goal did come from the penalty spot, it was raheem sterling who was bundled in the box. a soft penalty, you'd say, but harry kane who is usually ice cool from the penalty spot for club and country, it was michael who made the save, but harry kane was able to score from the rebound, reeling away in jubilant scenes of celebration, you can imagine what the scenes were like in the stands, as well, with some 60,000 fans, the majority of them england fans inside wembley, them england fans inside wembley, the increased number attending these semi finals, so that was the crucial goal. england in the end were able to close out that game, after coming through

scoring every knockout match against denmark. i also spoke to - against denmark.who has painted every match of the heart of this really impressive england defence conceding their first goal impressive england defence conceding theirfirst goal against impressive england defence conceding their first goal against denmark when they fell behind. speaking about kane and how impressed he is as a leader and also that there are so many leaders in the england group. saying that every player bring something different to the party and i also spoke about the parties that it only been able to watch on social media which had picked up after every time commitment the fans, i asked if he is aware of these waves of support and everything building now towards wembley. they certainly are. we see reactions after _ wembley. they certainly are. we see reactions after the _ wembley. they certainly are. we see reactions after the games _ wembley. they certainly are. we see reactions after the games and - reactions after the games and watching the big screens around england and it has bee

well, denmark will provide stiff competition.ning of the tournament, as dan mentioned, but since then, they have gone from strength to strength and won in emphatic style. they have won the competition before and they believe they can again. our correspondent lucy williamson reports now from copenhagen. "danish dynamite", some are calling it. this nation has proved before that it can come from nowhere to win the championship. it did exactly that in 1992. it means a lot. i know my parents have been talking about the last time we won it, or the only time we won it, in 1992. so, i think even now, when we just got to the semifinal, this will be something that we are going to talk about for the next many years. back then, denmark won the tournament without their top player, a challenge that's all too familiar to the team today. christian eriksen collapsed from cardiac arrest just minutes into the first game. "let's do it for christian" is now a mantra here. denmark's star player could still help them win tonight without ever setting fo

and can to be answered when you're in denmark, does this, does this system work in denmark and can you see it working for the u. k? it is, it is not a system that is working in the market is still just a member of understanding. and as i said, there is no such agreement between denmark and one yet just simply a member of understanding and one, the foreign policy just issued a statement a few days ago to stipulate that there's no such agreements with denmark to actually set up an auction. and 7, the one that took to process these, assign them applications. so i think from a very legal point of view, these are very question of bill proposes and statements that are being made. not just by, of course, the danish government or other government seeking to emulate the danger statement, not least austria as well. so sorry, and i'm just going to ask you, we heard pretty but to tell calling on european union countries to step up and work with the u. k. but isn't it the case that prior to breaks it, the u. k. had an agreement with you, countries are returning migrants which became defunct when th

three weeks ago today, denmark's tournament began with tragedy.covery, christian eriksen still has a presence and his team—mates have gone from strength to strength. a team full of heart, but able to use their heads as well. at least thomas delaney was, denmark in front after just five minutes. denmark's run to the last eight has seen comparisons being made with 1992 danish side which won the side. peter was their goalkeeper back then and now his son caspar is also playing a vital role. and if the danes are strong in defence, they are sublime in a was not the second arriving in the blink of an eye. even kasper dolberg looked surprised. this is a resilient czech side, led by patrik schick, five goals for him and itjumping ship, no one has scored more. ntcham delete macro time to push for an equaliser. denmark's remarkable recovery continues. fantastic night of football. now, there has been another major tournament going on today, a little closer to home. it was an exciting first saturday at wimbledon, especially for one british player on her senior

however, it's denmark on wednesday.me last night because if things continue to go england's way, this has been a vindication for gareth southgate, his very controlled, calm, considered tactics on the pitch, initially people were rather sceptical. sceptical about his methods initially. his name was being cheered on the terraces last night. and as we were meeting fans coming out of the stadium, they were all paying tribute to his professionalism. but also the way in which he has respected and looked after the 23—man squad throughout this tournament. so a testament to the manager here as well. but yes, if you were watching last night, if england win against denmark on wednesday, then we could very well be looking forward to an italy—england final on sunday. and actually, just as pope francis is speaking behind me at st peter's basilica, among his words, "when we allow the convenience of habit to have the upper hand, it's difficult to open ourselves to what is new and allow ourselves to be amazed." well, england's fans were

as this team heads back to wembley for the semifinal to come against denmark.he final on the 11th of july. it is a case of england maintaining its focus on trying to get thejob done. maintaining its focus on trying to get the job done. playing maintaining its focus on trying to get thejob done. playing on home soil in front of 60,000 fans back at wembley now for the semifinal, there might not be a better chance for england to enter the long wait. about one the biggest stage. it is back to back semifinals at major tournaments for gareth southgate for the first time since 1968. he has called it his everest, getting through to the final. they are getting place, one match away from reaching the final for euro 2020. sarah raynsford has been speaking to ukraine fans. the fans we have been speaking to all day were massively enthusiastic, as you might expect, going into the game. they were ignoring the statistics, the facts of course, that england was a firm favourite and letting their hearts rule their heads to some extent. they were telling me all day they felt ukrai

so denmark will be hoping not sticks around for a little bit longer. i'm sure they will just a couple of matches left until the final who is going to make it through finance sunday, putting me on the spot. i think england, that professionalism that i mentioned from england, i think that should see them through against them or they should be able to hold the danish juggernaut. but the game is hard to call italy and spain to very good seems quite evenly matched a lot. depends only have been playing, they have been playing fantastic. they, they have the quality, they have the mentality, they have everything you need, and spain quite unpredictable when it comes to their finishing. they place in lovely football, they control pretty much every game that they play. the question is how often they can actually put the ball in the net. i think it's really have the edge, i think is going to be england against italy at wembley next sunday. they had it here and the to, to france last year that run iraq, pretty much bra glitch has pulled out of the falling well behi

denmark have also made it through after beating the czech republic, but they are under dogs. do they stand a chance? well, if you want to talk about a month and then let's talk about then lately. yeah, look another great result for them yesterday to goes in the 1st off. i really nicely for this one to go to showcase their strengths very well. say a government that based on delaney putting ahead to a way to open the scoring and then some excellent women back play from your model. and one of the stars of the tournament for me as to setup cost it all day to make it to $1.00. you know, it's strange now looking back at the opening gains of this tournament and thinking about how bleak it looked for denmark, you know that the trauma, of course, that they will suffer with christine erickson's cardiac arrest and simply the fun. they lost the 1st 2 games of the tournament. they were on the brink of going out. now you look at them, this momentum is game changing the medicine they have is still there and that's something that can disappear very, very quickly. but if they can keep that go
