UNSUNG HEROES
Gareth Southgate has paid tribute to the England stars who have yet to feature at Euro 2020.
He said: “It’s enjoyable but immediately I’m thinking about the players that I didn’t get on the pitch because the likes of Conor Coady, Ben Chilwell, Aaron Ramsdale, Sam Johnstone, Ben White.
“We’ve had 21 on the pitch but those guys have been as important. The spirit that they’ve created, the togetherness.
“I regret not getting them on the field and I hate this thing of having to leave three out every match.
“It takes more energy from me than anything else because none of them deserve to be out of the 26.
“The fact that the guys have shown the respect that they’ve shown is why we’re in the position that we’re in.”
NOT DANE YET
England will need to be at their best to get past Denmark in the Euro 2020 semi-final, Gareth Southgate has said.
The Three Lions boss commented:
“They beat us in the autumn, we only drew to them in Copenhagen [in the Nations League]. They’re a very underestimated team.
“As a football nation they’ve done incredibly well, they’ve produced so many good players considering their population.
“This is going to be a really tough test and we’ll have to be at our best to get through it.”

SOUTHGATE PRAISE
England manager Gareth Southgate paid tribute to all of his players, including the substitutes.
Southgate told BBC One: “The players have been fantastic. To play as well as they did in a game with so much resting on it was impressive.
“It’s a strange feeling. I’m thinking of the lads we didn’t get on the pitch – Conor Coady, Ben Chilwell, Sam Johnstone, Aaron Ramsdale, they’re the ones making this team successful. The spirit in the group is phenomenal.
“Whoever comes in does the job, wheoever isn’t in – it is really difficult to leave three out of the matchday squad – the squad mentality is fantastic. That’s uppermost in my mind, looking after those guys.
“I’m spending more energy worrying about the three I have to leave out because they’re all good players. None of them deserve to be left out. They’re all giving everything in training. None of it is because I don’t think they’re up to the level but we have to make the decisions. We have to make the right call for the right game with the right system. All of the players have been brilliant, tonight all the way through the group they’ve been fantastic”

SANCHO REACTS
Jadon Sancho is on his way to Manchester United but right now he is only focusing on England.
Sancho told BBC Radio 5 Live: “I’m feeling over the moon. Today was must-win and I’m just happy to have got an opportunity to play. This is a special moment for me.
“Every time I haven’t been playing I’ve been going back to training and been giving it everything.
“I’ve just been focusing on myself while I’ve been at England. I’ve always been ready if I needed to come on.
“We knew today was going to be a big game, Ukraine are a very good side. I’m delighted.
“To be fair, I don’t want to talk about Manchester United. Right now I just want to focus on England”

KANE SPEAKS
England superstar Harry Kane admits the team is on the right path but insists the job is not yet done.
Kane told BBC One: “What a great performance in a big game.
“We were favourites, there was a lot of pressure and a lot of expectations. The performance was top-drawer. Another clean sheet, four goals, it was a perfect night for us.
“We’re building on [clean sheets]. We have a great unit here from front to back. It’s a vital part of winning games and tournaments.
“We’ve got a big semi-final coming up. We’re on the right path.
“It’s where we wanted to be. We set out a vision before the World Cup of what we want to achieve. We are knocking it off step by step. The World Cup was great but we fell short, we had a good run in the Nations League. We’re in another semi-final.
“Now it’s about getting over the line, the next step that we have got to do on Wednesday.
“We have more experience [than 2018]. We’ve been playing for our clubs in big games – Champions League finals, Premier League title races. We’re looking confident. Hopefully we can continue that.
“The job is not done yet. There’s a lot more football to play.
“It’s always nice to score early in a game. It’s a great feeling to help the team. There was a lot of talk about me and my performances. But I’m just ready for the next game and try to lead this team to the European final”

SHEAR THING
Alan Shearer praised Harry Kane, who equalled him on international goals in major tournaments after scoring his ninth cracker.
Shearer is also impressed with England manager Gareth Southgate’s decisions.
The Premier League Hall of Famer told BBC: “It is incredible the difference in Harry Kane. You can see he has a spring in his step.
“In the first minute of this game he picked up the ball 40 or 50 yards and pinged it and you thought, yes that will do. Then he scored soon after.
“Another tick for Gareth Southgate – he has come up with another formation, he has put in Jadon Sancho and all his decisions again have worked perfectly.
“He is not influenced by what goes on outside the camp. He is making all of the decision and he is making all of the right decisions”
HENDERSON BUZZ
England star Jordan Henderson is ecstatic with the big win over Ukraine that sent the Three Lions through to the semi-finals.
But Henderson is also over the moon with the fact that he finally scored his first ever international goal after 62 attempts.
The midfielder netted the fourth goal of the night and had no doubt it would ultimately happen one day.
Find out what the Liverpool ace had to say:

FERDINAND REACTION
Rio Ferdinand hailed Manchester United star Harry Maguire’s performance and claimed he is a special centre-back.
Ferdinand told BBC: “Harry Maguire looks so comfortable at international football.
“In an England shirt he looks like a man mountain to me. He comes out with the ball and picks the right passes.
“He always tries to come out, bring someone to him and then play the ball and that is the difference, he wants to commit someone and that is the difference between him and other centre-backs”
MAD REACTION
Leicester star James Maddison didn’t make the England squad but that hasn’t stopped him from supporting his national team from afar.
Maddison claims Tottenham star Harry Kane is the “best centre-forward in the world” after tonight’s performance against Ukraine.
Kane scored twice on his second consecutive match for the Three Lions after a long goalless spell.
More below:
Harry Kane… best centre forward in World football for me. People tried to talk because he didn’t score for a couple of games but goes back to that old saying, form is temporary but class is permanent 🤝— James Maddison (@Madders10) July 3, 2021

RICHARDS REACTS
Micah Richards sang England manager Gareth Southgate’s praises.
Richards claims a lot of the Three Lions’ current success comes down to Southgate’s worl.
He told BBC: “Gareth Southgate… What he’s done with this team, the belief and the way he’s changed the whole mentality.
“The belief he gives the players, it’s a joy to see, and they’re repaying him with performances like these”
MAGUIRE REACTS
England star Harry Maguire is ecstatic with tonight’s result but warns there’s still work to do.
Maguire told BBC: “It’s a great feeling, back-to-back semis is a great achievement. I don’t want to be a party pooper but we don’t stop here, we want to go further than we did at the World Cup. It’s big progress we’re making as a country, long may the improvement continue.
“We have great belief in the dressing room. The first half was tough, but I think the second goal settled us down a lot. We deserved the third and fourth on the night.
“We have to recover for another big one coming up. It’s hard to soak it all in when there’s another big one coming up. The dressing room will be great tonight, but tomorrow we’ll wake up and be focused again, because this group of players won’t settle for a semi-final”

England have thumped four past Ukraine in Rome tonight and they’re pretty much through to another semi-final.

80. Southgate gets a lot of stick, and a lot of criticism for his line-ups.
But he’s guided England to back-to-back major international tournament semi-finals. Phenomenal achievement.
And he’s got an incredibly young side to work with. Bellingham, for example, just turned 18 the other day.
The likes of Rice, 22, Sancho, 21…. the list is endless!

But the Three Lions look incredibly comfortable to sit off the men in yellow, and wait for the right opportunity to win the ball back.
Maguire, in particular, has to stay disciplined for the final ten minutes or so.
He is one booking away from a suspension and he’s been pivotal for England at the back.

GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLL!!THOMAS DELANEY HEADS DENMARK IN FRONT!!
CZECH REPUBLIC 0-0 DENMARK
4. Moments after Coufal registers the first attempt of the game, a shot blocked by Delaney, Denmark go up the other end and win the first corner of the contest.
CZECH REPUBLIC 0-0 DENMARK
2. Maehle takes an early whack from the Soucek battering ram in the Czech midfield, and needs a moment or two to regain his composure.
In the meantime, it’s worth pointing out that today the Danes are in all white, the Czechs wear red shirts with blue shorts.
CZECH REPUBLIC 0-0 DENMARK
1. The game begins with Clive Tyldesley quite rightly pointing out the absurdity of playing this match in Azerbaijan, close to 2000 miles from either Denmark or the Czech Republic.
However, for whoever wins here, Euro 2020 glory will feel a hell of a lot closer.
PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!HERE WE GO!
HERE COME THE TEAMS!
The now-customary giant decorative shirts are removed from the pitch, the Danish one emblazoned with the name of Christian Eriksen, and then it’s over to the players.
Simon Kjaer, the heroic leader of this Danish side, brings his teammates out to a warm welcome from fans and weather alike in the Olympic Stadium in Baku.
Simultaneously, Tomas Soucek, Czech Republic’s captain this evening, leads his team out on to the pitch, where they line up for the playing of the two national anthems.
CLOSE TO KICK-OFF
It’s nearly time for the third of Euro 2020’s quarter-finals.
Will it be Denmark or Czech Republic that prevail in Baku?

LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON?
Goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel became a legend for his integral part in helping Denmark win the 1992 European Championships – and now his son is hoping to follow suit 29 years on.
Kasper Schmeichel will earn his 70th cap this evening, and it could well prove to be the biggest game of his international career.

CZECH OVERHAUL
For a supposedly smaller footballing nation, the Czech Republic have a fine record at the European Championships, having qualified for every tournament since splitting from Czechoslovakia in 1993.
And in their very first competition, at Euro ’96, the Lokomitiva were a golden goal away from emulating the Czechoslovakian side that lifted the trophy in 1976.
Since then, the Czech Republic have reached the semi-finals in 2004, and the quarter-finals eight years later.
Now their head coach Jaroslav Silhavy has the latest generation of Czech talent on the brink of another memorable tournament following a major overhaul.
Only three members of this year’s Czech Republic squad — goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik, captain Vladimir Darida and defender Pavel Kadarabek – remain from those that flopped in France at Euro 2016.

FOUR-MIDABLE DANES
Having begun their Euro 2020 campaign with one goal and a pair of defeats from their opening two games, Denmark have really hit their stride at these finals.
Sealing their place in the knockout stages with a 4-1 victory over Russia in their final Group B game, the Danes followed it up by thrashing Wales 4-0 in the Round of 16.
In doing so, Denmark became the first team in European Championship history to score 4+ goals in consecutive matches at the competition.
Of course, how much their shaky start was to do with the awful scenes surrounding Christian Eriksen’s hospitalisation in their opening match against Finland, we are unable to say.
Eriksen’s teammates have done him proud since, and their nine goals so far at this tournamentt are second only to the ten they notched at the 1986 World Cup.
DENMARK SUBSTITUTES
16 Lossl, 22 Ronnow, 2 Andersen, 7 Skov, 11 Skov Olsen, 13 Jorgensen, 15 Norgood, 16 Wass, 19 Wind, 20 Poulsen, 21 Cornelius, 24 Jensen
DENMARK XI
Kasper Hjulmand sticks with the same starting XI that swept Wales aside in Amsterdam. It means captain Simon Kjaer is able to continue in the back three despite suffering with a muscle problem in the latter stages of Saturday’s win. Kasper Dolberg hit a double against the Welsh, and is selected again to play up top of Hjulmand’s 3-4-2-1 shape with support coming from Martin Braithwaite and Mikkel Damsgaard.
1 Schmeichel; 6 Christensen, 4 Kjaer, 3 Vestergaard; 17 Stryger, 23 Hojbjerg, 8 Delaney, 5 Mahle; 9 Braithwaite, 14 Damsgaard; 12 Dolberg

CZECH REPUBLIC SUBSTITUTES
16 Mandous, 23 Koubek, 2 Kaderabek, 4 Brabec, 8 Darida, 11 Krmencik, 14 Jankto, 17, Sima, 20 Vydra, 21 Kral, 24 Pekhart, 25 Pesek
CZECH REPUBLIC XI
It’s one change for the Czech Republic ahead of this teatime’s tie in Baku with Jan Boril, back from suspension, coming in at left-back for Pavel Kadarabek. It means their available-again skipper, Vladimir Darida, must make do with a place on the bench, and so West Ham’s Tomas Soucek takes the armband. His Hammers teammate Vladirmir Coufal plays at right-back, Bristol City’s Tomas Kalas is at centre-half, and at the head of Jaroslav Silhavy’s 4-2-3-1 is four-goal Patrik Schick.
1 Vaclik; 5 Coufal, 3 Celustka, 6 Kalas, 18 Boril; 9 Holes, 15 Soucek; 12 Masopust, 7 Barak, 13 Sevcik; 10 Schick

THE TEAMSHEETS ARE IN!
SLICK SCHICK
After enduring a difficult spell at Roma in the last 2010s, everything has fallen into place for Patrik Schick over the past 18-months.
While the world began to get to grips with the global pandemic, Shick made the move to the Bundesliga and hasn’t looked back.
Having flourished for both RB Leipzig and, now, Bayer Leverkusen, the 25-year-old has continued with his goalscoring form on the international stage.
Schick has scored 15 goals in 30 appearances for the Czech Republic, and has netted four goals in four games so far at Euro 2020. Only five players have ever scored 5+ goals in their first European Championships; these include compatriot Milan Baros in 2004, and, most recently, Antoine Griezmann five years ago.
Shick also finds himself one goal behind Griezmann when it comes to left-footed strikes. The forward has notched three times with his left peg at the finals, and is only one off the record for left-footed that was set by the Frenchman at Euro 2016.

GREAT DANE
Danish wonderkid Mikkel Damsgaard celebrates his 21st birthday today, and he will be hoping to end his special day by also celebrating a place in the European Championship semi-finals.
The Sampdoria playmaker has certainly lived up to his reputation since breaking on to the international scene last year. Damsgaard has been directly involved in seven goals during his six appearances for Denmark, scoring three and providing an assist for four more.
In Demark’s 4-0 thumping of Wales in the Round of 16, Damsgaard created more chances (3) than any of his teammates.

BAKU AND BEYOND

HAVE SOME PRIDE
Uefa has asked its main sponsors, including carmaker Volkswagen, not to display advertising banners in the rainbow colours of the LGBTQ community in Baku and Saint Petersburg for Euro 2020 matches, citing compliance with local laws.
The German manufacturers said in a statement: “Due to Uefa’s concerns about the legal framework for venues in Russia and Azerbaijan, the association informed us it wouldn’t be possible to use rainbow-coloured advertising on billboards in Saint Petersburg and Baku.”
A spokesman said that while Uefa “fully supports” messages of “tolerance and respect”, it asks sponsors “to ensure that their design complies with local legislation and this was not the case in Baku and Saint Petersburg”.
Germany’s gay and lesbian association expressed their fury at Uefa stance.
Spokesman Alfonso Pantisano said: “Uefa’s audacity and deceit are boundless. With this action, it is betraying not only lesbians, gays, bisexuals, trans and intersex people in Azerbaijan and Russia, but also in the whole of Europe.”
LION IN WAIT
Jaroslav Silhavy will tell his players to hit the bottle to tee up a potential semi-final clash with England.
After downing the Dutch in the last 16, the Czech Republic hope to pull off another shock tonight against Denmark.
The tie is at a baking Baku Olympic Stadium, where temperatures could hit 35 degrees, and Silhavy reckons it might be a survival of the fittest.
Win and they could face the Three Lions, their Group D rivals, on Wednesday for a FOURTH time in the Euros after two earlier qualifiers.
Boss Silhavy said: “The medical staff are ready for it and did the same before the last round as it was hot there, too.
“We will need to drink a lot and hydrate. I do believe it will be us. We can make them make mistakes and capitalise.”
NOT A KJAER IN THE WORLD
Skipper Simon Kjaer has recovered from the thigh injury he picked up in the last 16 win over Wales, and just as determined to keep the party mood going in Copenhagen and beyond.
Kjaer said: “All the support we’ve had is something we could only dream about but at the same time, could barely imagine. It’s been amazing.
“It’s going to be hard to experience something like this again. We are just living the dream as much as we can while we are in this football bubble.
“But we are not done yet – we will be attacking the same as in our other games and are just as eager to keep it going.
“We are not thinking of whether we will be European champions or not yet, that’s too far ahead – but we have the hunger.”

PROBABLE DANISH LINE-UP
Captain Simon Kjaer has shaken off a thigh problem, while striker Yussuf Poulsen is also fit after a hip issue.

LIKELY LINE-UPS
The Czech starting XI should have a couple of changes.
Left back Jan Boril is available after a ban, while skipper Vladimir Darida has recovered from a leg injury.

MORE ON SCHMEICHEL
The Leicester keeper said: “There are so many motivational factors…it’s been everything you dreamed of as a kid, everything we have been through as a team.
“We’ve talked a lot about the love the Danish team is getting, and it just grows bigger and bigger.
“We could never imagine how crazy it could go and we don’t want to disappoint anyone now – we want to keep making the country and our families proud.
“And I can tell you we’re not thinking of leaving here any time soon, so we will go on the attack one more time tomorrow.”

What is the team news?
For England, Mason Mount and Ben Chilwell are in contention to play again after ending their self-isolation but Gareth Southgate is expected to stick with Luke Shaw on the left.
Mount hasn’t played since England’s 0-0 draw with Scotland but Southgate looks to have since put his faith in a front three consisting of Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling and Bukayo Saka.
Should Southgate stick with a back three, it could mean another start on the bench for Jack Grealish, who affected the game brilliantly against Germany on Monday.
Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips are expected to start again but are one yellow card away from missing a potential semi-final.
Southgate may look to include Jordan Henderson or Jude Bellingham in the midfield instead.
And reports suggest new Man Utd star Jadon Sancho is set to start in place of Bukaryo Saka, who has a knock.

Head-to-head
England have the superior head-to-head record against Ukraine with four wins, two draws and one defeat in their seven mettings.
However, in competitive fixtures things are more even with England having won twice, two matches ending in a draw and Ukraine winning one.
Last time the two sides met, England held out for a 0-0 draw in 2013, which proved crucial in their qualification for the 2014 World Cup.

KICK-OFF IN BAKU
The game has kicked off in Baku….. who will England be potentially facing next Wednesday?
Denmark have struck first inside five minutes! Delaney of Borussia Dortmund fires the Danes in front.
GOAL ACHIEVED
Ukraine manager and football legend Andriy Shevchenko has stated that his team has already achieved their goal.
Speaking ahead of today’s quarter-final clash against England, he said: “We have achieved our main goal already and everything else will be a bonus.
“Probably, there is a different pressure on England.
“They are seen as favourites but everyone perfectly knows that anything can happen in football.
“We are preparing very seriously and we want to surprise England. We can see the great job done by Gareth Southgate.
“Beyond all doubt, they are one of the best teams at this moment. So we perfectly understand how strong our opponent is and how hard the game will be for us.”

“If we give them space to play, they’ll play, and they’ve got some dangerous forwards.
“We’ve achieved one challenge but that’s not the Everest we set ourselves. We want to push on.”

GAZZA EXCLUSIVE
Paul Gascoigne says England can win the Euros if we throw all our support behind boss Gareth Southgate.
Legend Gazza told fans and players ahead of tonight’s quarter-final with Ukraine in Rome: “If we trust in Gareth, everything else will come good.”
Urging supporters at home and in Italy to play their part, he told The Sun: “The crucial thing is for as many England fans as possible to get to the game and, most importantly, get behind Gareth.
“He’s the answer to everything for us, and we need to believe in him.”
Gazza, now 54, was England’s hero in the 1996 tournament and rallied to Southgate’s side after his cruel penalty miss against Germany in the semi-final.
The ex-Spurs and Lazio ace added: “I know Gareth well and we’re still good mates so I know he’s got what it takes to take us all the way. He’s the key.”

WAYNE’S WORLD
Remember this from Rooney at Euro 2012?

WHEN IN ROME
It is a beautiful sunny day in Rome as we build towards the quarter-final tonight.
Staff are putting the final cleaning procedures in place for the huge tie in just a few short hours.

WE PACK A PUNCH
Ukrainian boxing champ Vitali Klitschko reckons his nation’s footie side can pack a punch, but admitted: “England are one of the best teams in the world.”
The hard-hitting heavyweight turned adored politician spoke to The Sun ahead of his country’s big quarter-final clash against the Three Lions today.
Proudly wearing his blue and yellow national team shirt, the legendary boxing icon insisted last night: “We are dangerous because of our unpredictability.
“Hardly anyone imagined we would make it to the quarter-finals – for the first-time ever
“This is why the potential of our team can come as a surprise to our competitors.”

UKRAINE LOWDOWN
All you need to know about tonight’s opponents for the Three Lions…

ENGLAND VS UKRAINE HEAD-TO-HEAD
Given that Ukraine didn’t have a national football team until 1992, there are no meetings between the two sides before that date.
However, England and Ukraine have still played seven times with the Three Lions generally having the better of close encounters.

REARS FOR CHEERS
Models from Ukraine’s notorious “Butt Squad” – who were jailed for a racy photo shoot in Dubai – posed in Kyiv to support their country ahead of tonight’s Euro 2020 game against England.
Their cheeky balcony snap on a skyscraper caused outrage when it went viral in April – but now four of the women used blue and yellow Ukrainian flags as props to back their team.
Yana Graboshchuk, 27, a trained lawyer, said: “Our team is our pride, I believe in victory. We will watch and support Ukraine.”
Fellow Butt Squad member Diana added: “Only forward, only victory.”

MY PAL SHEVA
Ukraine could have a “home advantage” in their Euro 2020 clash against England in Rome – thanks to their manager’s own glittering career in Italy.
Andriy Shevchenko spent seven years as a hot-shot striker at AC Milan and is still adored by Italians to this day, a close pal and former team mate of the Ukrainian gaffer revealed.
He told The Sun: “Fan factor is a massive advantage. And I think Ukraine just might have a slight edge in that regard.
“Shevchenko still enjoys particular respect and adoration from Italian fans and is a hero there from his time at AC Milan.”
BY GEORGE, WE’LL WIN
England will make a bid for glory tonight in Rome – and fans across the nation are nervously lifting a glass to toast Gareth Southgate’s Lions.
Expats have flown in from Dubai, Spain, the Czech Republic and other EU countries – as supporters flock to pubs to toast players’ fortunes ahead of kick-off at 8pm.

TIME FOR PENS?
Unlikely style-icon Gareth Southgate has been wearing a high-tech limited edition watch at Euro 2020, that among other things notifies him of PENALTIES.
The England manager has become something of a trend-setter, tracing back to the 2018 World Cup when his suave waist coat saw sales of the M&S garment rocket.
For this tournament, he’s been sporting a Hublot watch – one of just 1,000 made – which helps him to follow matches in real time.
The time-piece allows him to view info on any match at Euro 2020, with info displayed on the large screen face including cards awarded, substitutions and goals.

THUMB WARS
The eagle-eyed among you may have noticed Jack Grealish playing with a bandage on his hand during the Euros so far.
And the Aston Villa playmaker has explained why..
Asked about the injury, England’s No 7 said: “[Japhet] Tanganga from Tottenham threw me on the floor and I broke my thumb.”
Though Grealish has revealed not being able to play his PlayStation has been the worst part of the injury.

ENGLAND XI
SunSport’s predicted England XI for tonight, with Jadon Sancho getting his first call up of the tournament.
Not a bad week at all for the 21-year-old, who’s £73m transfer to Man Utd was confirmed on Thursday afternoon.

PATH TO FINAL
The path to immortality has become clear for Gareth Southgate & Co.
Beat Ukraine tonight then it’s Czech Republic or Denmark in the semi-final.
Then Spain or Italy in a mouth-watering final.
Both the semi-finals AND the final take place at Wembley Stadium.
We. Can’t. Wait!
