You are, of course, technically correct. But my anxiety and superstition are at peak levels today and even though I’d seen England level the scores you just made me question my sanity, look up and ask if it was actually 2-0.
WIN £10...another competition from me :D

Congratulations @ActuallyDenz - winner of the main competition following the 90 minute score of England 1 - 1 Denmark.
@Vergaro98 - similary well done, but unlucky - if only Denmark had scored a second goal in the 90 minutes. You have still however won £5 for a charity of your choice.
I will ask for your charity nominations after the final on Sunday / Monday sometime as will consolidate all the requests following the result of the secondary competition which at the moment looks like this.
The secondary game finishes with 6 of you on 1 point and @VirtualDevil failing to score so far so its still leaves everyone with a chance to win the £5.
@SpyderTracks, @DISCOSPARTA, @VirtualDevil, @rouchie, @MrWilson, @Bigfoot, and @ubuysa - please await instructions regarding the Final game predictions as there will be a tie break question as well coming. The instructions will appear here by this time tomorrow. Predictions AND the tie-breaker will be by PM's to me - for an exciting Live evening during the final

Please can you PM me your score predictions for the 90 minutes result:
England v Italy
As this is close, and can still result in a draw the tie breaker question is:
How many games will there be in the Wimbledon Tennis Mens Single Championship Final on Centre Court on Sunday?
If the tie breaker is used, then it will be the person that is nearest to the total but without being under the actual number ... - so if you guess 25 and someone else guessed 30 and 26 games was played, the person with 30 wins - if 24 or 25 games played you would win).
PLEASE PM ME YOUR SCORE PREDICTIONS AND YOUR TIE BREAKER PREDICTION - DO NOT POST IT HERE. This round will be 'blind' until the final
(for those that do not know tennis, there could be up to 5 sets of tennis played and each set is the best of 13 games although if the match goes to the final set, a player has to win by two clear games so could end up 14 to 12 or something higher/lower...the lowest number of games played would be 18 - 6-0 6-0 6-0 someone winning the match 3 sets to 0.)

We. Are. In. The. Final.
Never thought I’d see it happen for England. I was blooded to semi-final disappointment as a seven year old at Italia 90, reintroduced to it as a teenager at Euro 96, and given a healthy dose of smelling salts at Russia 18.
It’s an unbelievable feeling to finally break some long lasting jinxes. Well done Southgate and the lads 👏👏👏

Ah, please can I reenter my tennis prediction following the semis on Friday then?
@Bhuna50 - Much like the England team capturing a certain feeling amongst the nation, you’ve enraptured a section of the forum with your silky skills, close control of the ball, an eye for a sexy spreadsheet and combining the beautiful game with a bit of fun and a charitable soul. On behalf of us all, I salute you 🙌

OK so if I interpret this correctly, thats a 1-0 win to England but you only get the points if its scored by a header from someone that is under 5 foot 6.
and that you are hoping that in the final match of tennis, it pours it down with rain and the roof fails to close so only 1 game is played on Sunday
with the final being postponed until Monday...

Whilst deadline for the predictions (and tie breaker prediction) is not until 23h59 Saturday, this is a reminder to @SpyderTracks and @VirtualDevil who are the only ones that I have not yet received anything from.
Everyone else has already predicted and it is of course acceptable if anyone wishes to change their predictions before deadline tomorrow as well, especially when you do finally get to see who is in the Wimbledon Mens Single Championship Final.
Reason for this reminder now is because I do not know how much I will be on tomorrow to chase you up, so at least you cant say that you were not reminded at least once LOL
Dont forget - PM predictions please.
