Like Bernie Sanders posted up at a presidential debate, Euro 2020 offered the world a chance to turn into vociferous fans of Denmark. Christian Eriksen’s collapse was numbingly tragic, but the way the Danes responded in the moment and the days after was the sort of archetypal hero story usually only reserved for myths.
England fans have grown accustomed to seeing their team fall at the final hurdle. The last four times the Three Lions have reached the semifinals of a major international tournaments, including the World Cup three years ago.
But not this time.
COPENHAGEN - European football governing body UEFA has invited Denmark international Christian Eriksen and the paramedics who helped save his life during an on-field cardiac arrest to attend the Euro 2020 final at Wembley on Sunday.
The brilliant Danish midfielder was resuscitated in front of shocked fans and a massive global TV audience during his nation's first match of the tournament.
MANCHESTER, England - Four teams head to London for the final week of Euro 2020 and as well as promising close battles, the two semifinals present a fascinating clash of football styles and tactical approaches.

Joakim Maehle ha estado fantástico durante la Euro 2020. El lateral izquierdo de Dinamarca lleva dos goles durante el torneo y hoy, en los cuartos de final ante República Checa, sacó una trivela que es imposible no considerar como la mejor asistencia de la competencia.

Given everything that has happened to Denmark during Euro 2020, only Czech Republic supporters will complain about a crucial call that went against them early in their quarterfinal match. Denmark was bafflingly awarded a corner in the opening minutes, setting up Thomas Delaney’s fifth-minute goal that sent the Danes on the way to a 2-1 win on Saturday in Baku, Azerbaijan.
This could be the most underrated quarterfinal game of Euro 2020. Denmark and the Czech Republic have surpassed all expectations and have nothing to lose. The Danes have outscored their opponents 8-0 in the past two games and are a runaway train that no one can stop. Meanwhile, the Czechs have become the dark horse of the tournament and have no intentions of bowing out anytime soon. Read on for our Denmark vs Czech Republic prediction, preview and guide.
The18’s renowned data scientist introduced the team to an API (application programming interface) that gave predictions for games in the European Championship.
