The English can already see themselves in the final. Schmeichel teased them with a cruel fact

England face a European Championship final match tonight. The unpleasant Denmark is in her way, but they are not seen as a rival in the Islands and they are already in the final. The underdogs’ goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has responded.

England already see themselves in the final of a major tournament. Fans have no doubt that their footballers will beat the paper-weak Danes. Given Wednesday’s daily press, it sometimes looks like they may not play at all. Judge for yourself.

Even England’s icons believe in England, for example Rio Ferdinand said that if England were ever to win a major tournament, it would be this year. “I feel it will be our tournament. Everything is falling into place.”

“If we’re ever going to win the Euros, it’s now. There will never be a better chance,” agreed Alan Shearer, one of the best strikers in football history.

The players are not lacking in confidence either, with Jack Grealish pointing out the strength of the offensive line in one of his post-match interviews. “We have six players who can play alongside Harry Kane. Me, Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, Raheem Sterling, Phil Foden and Bukayo Saku. It’s scary how good we are.”

England’s confidence has not escaped their northern opponents. Danish goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel poured gasoline on the fire when he prodded the English with the fact that they have never advanced to a Euro final. “Have they ever been there? I don’t know… Have they ever won?”

This has outraged English fans, but it’s a bare fact. The English have only played the World Cup finals so far, they are still waiting for success on the European stage. It was the Danes who won Euro 1992.
