JAKARTA - Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes England will advance smoothly to the Euro 2020 final on the grounds that they are more qualified than Denmark, who will face the Three Lions in the semifinals.
England thrashed Ukraine 4-0 in their quarter-final clash in Rome thanks to a Harry Kane double, and the other two from Harry Maguire and Jordan Henderson.

Wenger believes the quality factor is the determining factor in the England versus Denmark match, and England's quality is above Denmark.
"The important thing for me, for them (England) they didn't concede," Wenger told beIN Sports.
"As long as you don't concede then the team is focused on defending well. That will be an important quality to reach the final and win the final," Wenger continued.
Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has managed to keep five clean sheets during the Euro 2020 finals which no other goalkeeper in European Cup history has done.

That advantage, according to Wenger, is still coupled with the advantage of appearing at home at Wembley Stadium which will smooth England into the final.
"I now believe they will be difficult to stop," said Wenger. "They're back in London and will play the semi-finals at Wembley."
"It will be difficult to stop them from reaching the final," Wenger said as quoted by the Daily Star.
