Frustrating tourney which they need to change for next one, games started out fine with teams having a go, after that it was dross on the whole as teams realised they needed a point or sometimes no points with 3 teams going through, back ro 16 teams or up it to 32

Yesterday was better. We have by far the best set of individual players imho - but a manager who is clueless in how to get them to play great football as a team. We're in the semi largely in spite of him, not because of him. He has his favourites that he will play anywhere just to get them in the side - Walker has had a poor game every one but he's still there. Thought the pens were great, Toney's I've never seen the likes of before! I was worried for Trent as I could already see the media headlines crucifying him and hanging him out again. Thankfully he smashed it...

watched the highlights of Spain Vs France, my thoughts wereif we beat Holland, we won't beat Spain, and from what I saw wouldn't deserve to.Spain looked like they were having fun playing football, it was an important match, but there was still creativity and flair, and the new next big thing in football scoring a great goal.

Indeed. Even after the flurry of the first 26 minutes was over, Spain was still playing as if they had a game to win. If we do go up against them I'd probably agree we don't have much of a chance, but then again, I'd never thought I'd live to see the day England got 5/5 on a penalty shootout, so you never know.

Quote: Pete-MK says... "Spain was still playing as if they had a game to win." In the unlikely event that we go 2.1 ahead vs Netherlands, much less Spain, can you see Southgate telling/letting us push past the halfway line.
We may reach the final, 50/50 I reckon, but Spain will do us or the Dutch in the final.
Delighted to be proved wrong but if I am it won't be because of a dazzling display in the final.
