Danish goalkeeper reminds English pundits that the Three Lions have never won Euros, so there's nothing to return. A perfect intro for Wembley showdown (22.00)
"It's coming home''. It's probably the most repeated parole in the last few weeks, thanks to a series of much-deserved and outstanding victories of Gareth Southgate's side at the EURO 2020. England is only two steps away from reaching a continental glory for the first time in a decade-long history.
A chance to make history.

However, that is the reason 'it's coming home' is indeed inaccurate. And that's something a Danish goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, a son of a legendary Peter Schmeichel, pointed out once English journalists asked him about tonight's game (22.00).
What would it mean for you guys to stop it coming home?

"Has it ever been home?" responded Schmeichel Jr. confidently at a press conference in the aftermath of the Wembley game.
His side lost the maiden tournament game following a shocking Christian Eriksen's cardiac arrest on a pitch against Finland. But what followed in the next few games was a divining set of performances that saw them advance to the semi-final, deservedly. They trashed Wales and the Czech Republic, but what's even more important - their level of play looks impressive, and the ball movement is pleasantly fluid, more likeable than any other team in the competition.
Still, the home court will be a massive advantage for the Three Lions. Pushed by their fans, Kane, Sterling and co. are capable of every achievement, which was blatantly apparent in the Germany tie. Even their bench seems terrifying for the opponents with the likes of Mount, Rashford, Grealish, Sancho and the others.
Neutral fans would love to see plenty of action (and goals, of course), with everything except England win will turn into a surreal outcome. Italy are waiting in the final. Who will join them on Sunday night in a chase for silverware?
