England produced a fantastic performance against Ukraine on Saturday night in Rome in the Euro 2020 quarterfinals, and the scary thing about that 4-0 victory is that the Three Lions still have two or three gears to move up into.

England had the luxury of resting players with the match secured, and kept its game-changers Jack Grealish and Phil Foden on the bench, so they are totally fresh for Wednesday’s semifinal match against Denmark if called upon.

At the same time England was resting players and easing to victory, the Danes were hanging on against the Czech Republic for a narrow 2-1 win in their quarterfinal.

It has been an emotional tournament for Denmark, and that raw emotion following the Christian Eriksen cardiac arrest incident in their first match has carried them through (especially in Copenhagen). But in the second half against the Czechs the Danish players looked totally exhausted — and that is encouraging signs for England supporters.

Wednesday’s match will be played in front of 60,000 fans at Wembley with only 2,000 Danish fans in the stadium, which is obviously a massive advantage for the Three Lions.

I was at England’s match against Germany and in 31 years of watching sport at the highest level, I have never experienced an atmosphere like it; now with more fans allowed into the stadium, it will be just as raucous an environment, if not more so.

Denmark has started off matches in a very quick, fast tempo and although England hasn’t conceded a goal at these championships, this will be its toughest test by far. For Denmark, the big concern is that Harry Kane is back amongst the goals following his brace against Ukraine. I think this match could see some goals scored, but the over 2 goals on the Asian line has moved to 2.25 — that was going to be a play but at the current line it looks about right.

England is -140 at BetMGM to win the match in regular time, and despite Denmark’s 1-0 victory over England at Wembley last October, this is a very different meeting.

In that Danish win, England was reduced to 10 men following Harry Maguire’s sending off after just 31 minutes, and it had another red card late in the match with Reece James’ departure seeing England end the match with nine players on the pitch. Denmark won thanks to a penalty kick by Eriksen (who won’t play Wednesday), so it’s tough to use that match as a guide to this one.

England sides in the past have frozen on the big occasion, but this young team doesn’t have any fear. The majority of them have played in big European finals at an early age, so the magnitude of the match won’t faze them.

With the partisan Wembley crowd behind it and a resurgent Kane, I just can’t see how England won’t win this match against a Danish side which looked really leg weary and had to make the long travel back from Baku to London.
