Summary
Hugh Woozencroft is joined by Gregor Robertson, Matt Lawton and Henry Winter.
Italy are into the final after one of the best matches of the tournament against a revitalised Spain. Is Spain’s problem the lack of someone to put the ball in the net? Can Italy be beaten or are they destined for glory? (00:00)
Denmark stand in England’s way if they want to join the Italians in the final on Sunday at Wembley. Is this arguably a bigger moment than the same stage at Euro 96? (21:50)
What’s different about this England team? Is the change in culture down to Gareth Southgate alone? We make out final predictions ahead of tonight’s semi-final (39:10)
Tonight’s result:
Italy 1-1 Spain (Italy win 4-2 on penalties)
