Euro 2020: English FA charged with offenses after semi-final win

UEFA has charged the English Football Association with three offenses from its European Championship semifinal win over Denmark. The disciplinary cases were opened over the use of a laser pointer by fans, fireworks being set off and for disturbing the Danish national anthem. England won the Euro 2020 match 2-1 in extra time at Wembley Stadium.

Counting the cost: England fans gear up for Euro 2020 final

There are no doubt a few hangovers across England on Thursday after a night of wild celebrations in the wake of the national soccer team's victory over Denmark in the European Championship semifinals. There will likely be many, many more on Monday morning if England manages to beat Italy in the final, its first in a major tournament since winning the 1966 World Cup. The worry is that beyond the headaches and the grouchiness, the outpouring of joy will worsen rising coronavirus infection rates, particularly among younger men. "Whilst association does not necessarily mean causation it is difficult to escape the conclusion that celebrations around the Euros have been an important factor in driving up the epidemic in the U.K.," said Paul Hunter, a professor in medicine at the University of East Anglia. It's clearly difficult to rein in the enthusiasm associated with England's march to Sunday's final. There's a lot of pent-up frustration out there that has been further fueled by the ri

Spain, Italy take unbeaten runs into Euro 2020 semifinals

Luis Enrique thought for a couple of seconds, looked straight back at the questioner, and gave the curtest of replies. No, said the Spain coach, with the blankest of looks on his face, after being asked if he had seen a better team than his at the European Championship. An answer out of blind loyalty? Perhaps. Or was it the fact that Spain was the leading scorer at Euro 2020? Maybe. Or the fact that La Roja is on an unbeaten streak stretching back to October, a run of 13 games? Quite possibly. Spain's opponent in the European Championship semifinals on Tuesday might have something to say about all that. Italy, another of the continent's traditional powers, brings an even better run of form to Wembley Stadium a national-record 32 matches unbeaten, going all the way back to September 2018.
