England made their own luck by winning the group.

I still very occasionally get a whiff of a particularly pungent brand of tobacco. It always transports me back to the Riverside seats in the late 70s/early 80s.

What’s the difference between last season and this?

36 goals in an hour is an impressive strike rate

This has a familiar whiff

I was waiting for you to big up the next opposition straight after another England win. Anything to detract from Southgate’s latest triumph. This was your description of Switzerland straight after the Slovakia win. For such an amazing team we pretty much kept them at arms length for most of the game. The mistake you and a few others make is to ignore what Southgate is good at which is limiting the opposition to few opportunities and always giving the talented attacking players in the squad the chance to win us matches. Compare that with Turkey who were fun to watch but ultimately couldn’t defend. Southgate has done a phenomenal job as England manager. He knows how to win matches and progress in tournaments. That’s literally his job.

As we should. It’s another SF

I think someone’s overtired😉

That’s not a vintage Dutch team by any means. I think it will be another even contest if we play them.

Totally agree. People think we’re Brazil 1970. We’re getting to semi finals consistently now. This is unheard of for England in 100 years of major tournament football.

Pickford’s water bottle with list of which way to dive for each Swiss player during penalties

The BBC panel actually thought we were playing well, which is even more bizarre.

Impressive stuff. Who was the last England manager to get to 2 major finals?

Gareth Southgate, despite the negativity and noise, has a fantastic record at major tournaments

Get in. Fantastic penalties!!!!

Get in! We’ve finally got a few more players in attacking areas due to the subs.

What the fuck is Kane doing tackling on the edge of our box in open play?

The BBC hype men will be scratching their heads.

Hope so.

Saka has played well, Kane has been anonymous. Everyone else has done ok.

We’ve dominated the ball and done nothing with it. It’s easy passing around at the back.

BBC are hilarious. They’re hyping this performance and Foden in particular ‘best no10 in world football’ Foden hasn’t done much and neither have England.

I should hope so! At least Gregg used to tell us what the budgets were.

Still no word what kind of budget they are working to? Was Eustace asked?

I bet you do, you little minx!
