Denmark fans are predicting a steep victory over England in tonight's Euro 2020 semi-final as football fever grips Copenhagen and thousands of fans pack out pubs and bars in a sea of red and white.
Football fan Oscar, 21, who was the first to arrive that the big screen set up in the city's Lumskebuksen pub garden this morning at 8.30am, predicts that Denmark will win 3-1.
Oscar said: 'We had to show up super early to get a seat. We arrived at 8.30, and we got the last seats - we just did what needed to be done.'
Speaking to Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet, the gap year student went on: 'The atmosphere when sitting at home cannot compare to watching on a big screen event with hundreds in red and white.'

Fellow fan Simon Lysholm told how Denmark fans who'd been prevented from travelling to Wembley to support their team were instead scrambling for seats in pubs to make a night of it in Copenhagen.
He arrived at Lumskebuksen at 1pm and says he was relieved to managed to get seats such was the demand.
'People try to block places for friends, but I was just lucky,' Simon told Ekstra Bladet.
'The only annoying thing is that I have had all my beers confiscated, which I brought from home!'
Among the thousands of Danes there will also be some supporting England though.
They are expected to gather at the 'Old English Pub' - a pub in the centre of Copenhagen. The barman there is confident of an England win.
Damian Kaminski, 22, told the Mirror: 'There will an incredible atmosphere at the match'.
