England wins against Denmark: The joy, the memes, the tweets and those not so happy about it
The England national team has already made history this year in the Euro2020 competition, having reached five games without conceding a single goal. They unfortunately lost their clean sheet in the semi final but still came out on top in an extremely stressful and eyebrow raising game...
It was certainly full of drama, but this is the first time England have entered an international final since 1966.
The game was filled with ups and downs for the England team but there were certainly a few specific moments in the game that has got the fans talking on social media.
England conceded. They were 0-1 for the first time in the Euro2020. Not long after, a goal would be given to England. A beautiful cross over to Sterling as... Kjaer, the Denmark forward, slides in and pops it in the back of the net.
The player has a strong following and did well in the game considering he had just come back from injury. He was replaced by Grealish in the second half.
Many debates have started all over Europe as to whether the penalty given to England was a penalty or not. Many think the Danes were robbed from their win.
A number of dic¡king memes have popped up describing Stirling's fall just inside the box which gave England that important advantage.
The referee decided to check with VAR that the incident was definitely a penalty or not. VAR called it... but at what cost?
Many think there was an insider in the VAR room that confirmed, what many consider to be a dive, as a penalty shot. Kane took the shot, it was saved, but hit the rebound and scored for England.
The Danish team did their country proud and put up a seriously challenging fight for the English.
But still, fans had noticed that the England fans who were present in the stadium had actually shone a laser in the Denmark goalkeeper's eyes. Schmeichel can be seen with green laser on his face as he prepares to save Kane's penalty kick.
Whatever happened in the game it cannot be denied that England are playing in the finals on Sunday. It's going to be an incredible game.
The manager has proved to be one of the best the English national team has ever had. Will he take England all the way?
Impossible to read these words without singing along. But yes. It seems as though there is a high chance football is, indeed, coming home.
This has so far been one of the best performances (and teams) in the history of the national squad and before the match there was a lot of hype and lead up from the fans online.
The excitement had been building and many had been awaiting the day since the England team beat Ukraine a whopping 4-0.
Needless to say countless fans were nervous and, after all, football is football and no one could really have known how the game would finish.
Despite the nerves, one fan made a good point. A semifinal at Wembley, surrounded by English fans against Denmark, who had been named the underdog in this game.
One fan captured the feeling of Englishmen and women everywhere with this poignant screen still from the famous Game of Thrones TV series. The build up definitely felt incredibly momentous.
Denmark had done incredibly well this tournament and both teams have some incredibly good players that were ready to seize the moment.
Is football coming home? This has been one of England's most repeated phrases these past weeks. There is a feeling that this year is the year and the English team will lift the trophy for the first time ever.
Yes, it's true. England has never won the European Championships and yet Denmark had once.
Due to restrictions, many of England's games have been held at Wembley. Fans have been delighted to have been able to attend and this game is no different with thousands of English fans having made the trip to London.
England lost their clean sheet...
The old age rivalry between the Scots and the English has been raving for years and the hashtag 'anyonebutEngland' has really made its rounds during this competition. The English have some good comebacks, though.
The Scots had bought up all the Ukranian flags and merchandise to support the other team in England's last match. Perhaps they went further this time and bought up full kits for their families?
Fans all over England had been sharing the effort they had gone to in order to make the day completely England themed. In fact, one area of London had completely decorated the streets in honour of the English team.
The National Theatre had published a rather amusing tweet in which they expressed their excitement for the 'performance' of the evening.
Prince Charles and The Duchess of Cornwall had taken to social media to wish the boys good luck. They also had a little surprise up their sleeve...
They invited a marching band to play the anthem 'Three Lions' in the grounds of Clarence House which was filmed and released to the world via social media. It really gets you in the mood.
As many know, the workers at TFL have been known to write many motivating, activist and even just funny phrases and pearls of wisdom on their boards. They wrote a kind letter to Denmark...
Many were already looking to the final, thinking that the England Denmark game will be an 'easy' win. Denmark thought not. Needless to say, England made it.
A lot of jokes have been made about the flags of the two countries. Of course England's boasts a white background with a Red Cross and Denmark a red background with a white cross. The battle of the crosses?
Both countries believed it was their time to shine in the spotlight and the teams had spent a long time eyeing each other up and trying to form the best team and tactics to push forward into the final.
There was a leak before the match in information which said that Saka would be returning to the squad and be playing in the opening line-up. Retuning from a small ankle injury, he took the place of Jadon Sancho.
The English team has culturally done England proud. They have been a face for the Black Lives Matter movement, despite many booing the players as they take the knee before the game. They sport pride colours and they generally campaign for better values and a better world. Loved by so many, even the hashtag 'BorisoutSouthgatein' has made its rounds.
Gareth hasn't put a foot wrong since the beginning of the competition. Although sometimes many have been a little nervous by his choices and doubted them at times, he has wielded a team that shows power and promise. Southgate underground station have temporarily named the stop after the man who has brought hope to so many.
