Englishmen after reaching the final out of control – Danes devastated.
The fans in London, they were out of control after winning the semi-final against Denmark. Buses and phone booths weren’t safe from them either. For the first time in history England have reached the final of a European football championship. The first title since the 1966 World Cup is possible. Those football fans could hardly believe it: “You know, I was born in 1991. We never saw anything like this and now it’s finally here, and guess what? It’s better than giving birth. My daughter was born in 2012 and guess what “It’s a better feeling, it’s a better feeling! Let’s go England!” “I never had any doubts, but now that it happened I don’t feel real, I feel like I’m floating. It’s coming home, oh my god, it’s coming home!” During the game at London’s Wembley Stadium, Denmark took the lead in the 30th minute with a remarkable free kick from Damsgaard. An own goal by Kjaer, who grabbed the ball in front of Sterling, who was ready to shoot, made the score 1-1 at halftime. In the second half, England was the team that determined the game, but another goal was not scored in regular time. Only a controversial penalty kick in stoppage time brought the Three Lions to winning ways. Harry Kane converted to 2-1 for England in the margin. The Danish fans who watched the game in Copenhagen were of course disappointed in the end. But also proud of their team that made it so far at this European Championship. England will now face Italy in the final on Sunday – the game will again be played at Wembley Stadium.
