Playing at Wembley Stadium in London. (England v Denmark in the same stadium, tomorrow — doubt there will be much office work accomplished in the UK Wednesday… )
Italy seems to be the logical favorite, but Spain might be classed as beloved underdogs?

Playing in Baku Olympic Stadium, for what I’m sure are reasons. Czechs seem to be the favorites, but of course the Danes have sentiment on their side this year.
Then and now ?
Four and a half years since @tomassoucek28 made his senior national team debut in a friendly match against Denmark in November 2016. It finished 1:1.

Proud dane alert ?? With the unity of Denmark and what they’ve been through as a team, I believe they can go all the way. Give my latest column with @guardian a read to get my take on the #Euro2020 so far. Hope you enjoy it! https://t.co/7A8fsK815J

Playing at the St. Petersburg Stadium, which I assume means there will be mordant humor on Russian expat twitter. Spain seems to be the favorite, but as ever, what do I know?

When a match ends 5-3 in extra time, 99% of the world can’t shut up about what a glorious affair it’s been.
The 1% is us, goalkeepers, who silently listen to pieces of our souls fizzle and dissolve in the boundless oceans of bubbling hate.— Slava Malamud (@SlavaMalamud) June 28, 2021
