The build-up started on Twitter long before ITV’s pundits came on air, and here are a few of the things people were saying ahead of kick-off.
Got a good “It’s coming home” tweet lined up for if England win.

Why are we playing the Danes at Wembley, where they beat us last time, and not Stamford Bridge, where we have a near 1000-year history of beating them?#ENGDEN

I've just checked in with Jordan Henderson to make sure he remembers his shin-pads tonight. He said the kit men sort all that out for us. I said Oh yeah, I remember now. He said Ok James. I said Cheers Jordan.

The party atmosphere took a hit early on, when so-called England fans booed during the Danish national anthem and the England team taking the knee.

As far as I'm concerned it's time to let bygones be bygones, let history be history, let the past be left firmly in the past. It's time to support our fellow Northern European compatriots. The viking age was a long time ago anyway.

It might very well be coming home, but it seems to be broken down in Crewe at the moment. #ENGDEN

I feel like England should hold and give but do it at the right time, they can be slow or fast but they must get to the line.
They'll always hit us and hurt us, defend and attack. But there's only one way to beat them, get round the back basically.— dan le sac 🦄💣 (@danlesac) July 7, 2021
