CHRIS SUTTON'S BIG MATCH ANALYSIS: Panicky Jordan Pickford was caught flat-footed for Mikkel Damsgaard's 解放する／自由な kick... but all-rounder Harry Kane stepped up again to 解雇する／砲火／射撃 England to the Euro 2020 final

• e-mail

Jordan Pickford had been England’s Iceman at Euro 2020 - so 冷静な／正味の, so composed and forever in 支配（する）／統制する.

There was that one sliced 試みる／企てる at a 通関手続き／一掃 against ウクライナ共和国 but other than that, we’d not seen him flapping or making daft 決定／判定勝ち（する）s. Yet for a period in this first half, Pickford looked all over the place.

One careless moment after 15 minutes saw him give the ball away, 主要な to a good chance for ツバメ Braithwaite which deflected wide.?

From the resulting corner, Denmark placed so many players on the goal-line that you could have thrown a coat over the lot.

Jordan Pickford has been ice 冷静な／正味の for England but was caught out for Mikkel Damsgaard's 発射

They 手配中の，お尋ね者 to （人が）群がる around Pickford and make life difficult, perhaps having identified England’s goalkeeper as someone to 的.?

Certainly there was a 焦点（を合わせる） on making 始める，決める pieces count from the Danish 訪問者s at Wembley. Pickford managed to punch that corner （疑いを）晴らす, but will have been disappointed with how he was beaten by Mikkel Damsgaard.

It was a 広大な／多数の／重要な strike from the 21-year-old, in the way he got the ball up and over the 塀で囲む. But it didn’t 飛行機で行く into the 最高の，を越す-left corner. When a 解放する／自由な-kick finds the postage stamp, you think, ‘Fair enough’. But this didn’t.

This was central. Maybe that earlier mistake, and 譲歩するing this goal, 傷つける Pickford’s 信用／信任. But he had to remember what an excellent tournament he’s had さもなければ.

He had to refocus, 特に when England got themselves 支援する into the game.

The 解放する／自由な-kick was a 広大な／多数の／重要な strike but Pickford will still be disappointed after 存在 beaten by it

Harry Kane 強調d what a wonderful 万能選手 he is, after all the flak he received earlier in this tournament.?

Denmark’s 支援する five were making themselves difficult to （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域, with space 厳しく 限られた／立憲的な, but it wasn’t that Kane was dropping 深い into his own half to receive the ball from his centre 支援するs.?

Instead he was 選ぶing up pockets and doing 損失 from there. One 早期に cross from the 右翼 for Raheem 英貨の／純銀の brought 支援する memories of that Euro 96 moment when Paul Gascoigne couldn’t やめる stretch far enough to 得点する／非難する／２０ against Germany.?

When England 設立する themselves 1-0 負かす／撃墜する, the first time they’d been in a losing position at this tournament, Kane created the equaliser. Kyle Walker had the ball, and Kane 需要・要求するd it.?

Harry Kane 論証するd again what a wonderful 万能選手 he is during the 半分-final

Kane had netted the late 勝利者 for England but also showed what else he brings to this team

With his left foot, he controlled the pass. With his 権利, he passed for Bukayo Saka, who then crossed and England made it 1-1 (儀礼 of Simon Kjaer bundling the ball into his own 逮捕する).?

Kane was 存在 大打撃を与えるd when he was going through that goal 干ばつ. The sight of him occasionally popping up in his own half 誘発するd calls for him to be （法廷の）裁判d!

Once he’d finally 得点する／非難する／２０d, everybody was behind him. But here, in this game, Kane showed what else he brings to the team.?

He is such a clever player - someone who brings much more to England than mere 発射s - and that’s why Southgate was never going to be dropping his captain.

Not everyone agreed with Southgate calling up Harry Maguire for Euro 2020, but aren’t you glad he did?

He 苦しむd an ankle ligament 傷害 against Aston 郊外住宅 in May but the Manchester 部隊d defender has been such a 命令（する）ing presence in central defence と一緒に City’s John 石／投石するs, ever since he made his first 外見 in the final group game against the Czech 共和国.

Southgate knew his importance. Not only at the 支援する but from 不快な／攻撃 始める，決める-pieces, too.?

As he did against Sweden in the 2018 World Cup, Maguire got his goal in the 4-0 victory against ウクライナ共和国 - and he （機の）カム の近くに on a couple of occasions against Denmark here.?

Harry Maguire was able to stamp out the 大多数 of problems from Denmark and starred again

Trying to 示す him in the box must be like trying to get around a 玉石! Denmark have some very handy 攻撃者s.?

They managed to 得点する／非難する／２０ against England through Mikkel Damsgaard’s 解放する／自由な-kick but Maguire was さもなければ able to stamp out the 大多数 of problems.

It helped that in 前線 of him he had Declan Rice, who enjoyed another excellent 業績／成果 in midfield. The West Ham 持つ／拘留するing midfielder doesn’t always get the credit he deserves.

But the 首相 League’s biggest clubs are looking at him because he does that dirty work like few other players can. England have felt in 安全な 手渡すs with that spine.??
