Southgate man.

He did it earlier this game to Walker.

An unstoppably boring force meets an immutably unboring object. And the force wins.

Morata is terrible

I mean, apply the same standard of using VAR for pretty much any corner kick situation and you'll find eight more penalties per game. It's nonsense.

The big difference for me is that he had an unimpeded shot at goal before there was contact, and the contact was virtually nothing. If the shot goes in, they're not bringing it back. So it shouldn't be a foul. Then to have that as an overturnable (not a real word) decision is a bit mad. Not a clear and obvious error to me. I think England deserved the win FWIW.

He's loathesome. Chucking himself all owa the place.

Playacting got the pen tbf.

Wouldn't want to play Traitors with him, like.

Haha Watkins clearly thinks Southgate is a bellend but knows what not to say.

Agreed tbh.

That's never a penalty Ian Wright's homerism is off the charts

A section of England fans may feel that way.

It's a good point.

I think this game might be the most important of Southgate's legacy - even if they have a subsequent final with Spain. A grim performance here will be the last real chance to overwrite the reality of the unfashionable football he has brought. If they slog through with more Bruce-y football, and go on to win it with another attritional performance against Spain, they will be not unfairly remembered by some as another Greece 2004 (except with world-beating talent ).

Lamal is great for 16 (or any age for that matter), but he cuts onto his left foot a lot. I do wonder why defensive assignments haven't picked this up yet.

Great close up of Deschamps afterwards.

Dembele didn't just shoot from there

The gap between the good and bad teams has been narrower which has lent to more competitive tension, and some of the non-flagship names of international football are playing increasingly attracrice football, but overall it's tough to disagree we haven't seen enough quality from those most capable of producing it. Be a bit of a shame if anyone but Spain won it IMO.

Harsh on Turkey. Not much confidence in the Dutch in the semis.

Turkish tekkers is amazing like. Some of these crosses. Christ.

What a ball from Schar

Konsa in for Guehi. That's it. Of course.
