I don't think we have 'no chance'. But I'm a very long way from thinking, 'we're going to do it'.
We've done well so far, but we haven't yet played a very good team. We beat a very inconsistent German team and a Ukraine team that qualified from their group in third place.
We play a very fired up and efficient Denmark next Wednesday. I expect that to be a much tougher task than anything we've faced so far. Absolutely no guarantees we'll win that. If we get through that we'll face either Spain or, more likely Italy in the final, which will be a quantum leap up again.
We have everything to play for, but a steep hill to climb.

But got to beat Denmark first - by no means a foregone conclusion.
The sloppy backpass was Walker, btw, not Philips.Allotment Bantam and Skyebantam like this. -

Can't see the issue with it to be fair. If we're moaning about refereeing decisions come the final whistle then we probably haven't played well enough to progress anyway.

Want to see a final against Italy see what this teams actually made of, worst Germany team I’ve seen in years and the rest have been poor. I think it needs to go back to 16 teams, seeded with only 2 going through so the knockouts have a better chance of having the best against the best. Never a better chance to win a tournament.

As much as Italy are playing great, Spain are winning lucky. I wouldn't be suprised if they get something against Italy. Us against Denmark, on paper should be a win, but I don't know. I'd say we haven't, despite playing Germany, played a fired up team yet. Denmark are doing this for Eriksson and playing with real drive. I thought Philips was a little sloppy last night. He's going to have to be absolutely switched on for the Danish game, as do the rest of the guys. Can't afford any of these stupid backpasses anymore. I'm with @SimonW sharing the viewpoint of constant disappointment regarding England, but this time I'm allowing myself to believe. I can't remember watching a competitive England game so relaxed last night!

I’d have had a few more doubts had Sweden qualified but I feel it should be a comfortable win, it’d be the most England thing to do though to beat Germany and get knockout here. With 6 or 7 defensive players on the pitch I can’t see us conceding.

I'd say the opposite actually. It's not so bad getting knocked out by the eventual winners.
