Rafa's not the world-class manager of 10-15 years ago tbf. He's quite good - hella better than Bruce and McClaren, of course.

Was fun reading the 20-odd pages from during the match - a reminder that England were pretty bad (especially Kane) and the game could've went either way. But the route is sensationally 'easy' now, it really should be a spot in the final. The overhyping of Grealish really winds me up, mind.

I've seen parked buses that are more attacking than that England XI. I heard a rumour that Southgate hated last night's matches. Pass it on.

Are you Peter Walton, by any chance?

So, so, so up for this Been a day of Spotifying the England songs and watching highlights of the Euro 96 semi. Proper love redemption stories, me. Let's destroy them.

He'll be rubbish, yeah?

Just a phenomenal evening of football, I won't be sleeping for ages. Is this what being high feels like? Gutted for France and Mbappe tbh, I like the best teams staying in but I knew that's a minority opinion. Switzerland were very good though.

Good. Justice.

He's done a Dubravka/Paul Robinson. Poor defender is going to get the 'own goal' label for that.

Rafa won't last 18 months at Everton but it won't be his fault. Step down from Ancelotti, though.

Unimpressed with Belgium tonight, apart from human wrecking ball Lukaku. Second half was quite enjoyable though.

Yeah I know that, I mean in general. People seem to go beserk for them.

So - big arses, what's that all about?

So maybe we are getting Rafa after all

Extra time was great fun, fair play to Austria. Italy were poor but maybe it's good for them to get one of these difficult wins. Be a huge match against Belgium/Portugal, which I still can't belive is a Round of 16 match - two of the four pre-tournament favourites.

Howay Denmark, you can do this

They can have Rafa, we'll be fine.

More CATs than Carole Baskin in here

I'm torn because away goals suck but the extra time/penalties alternative sucks more. I like the thought of both teams removing 2 players for extra time. More space to force a more open period.

Bit of a dick move from Favre but glad because Palace would be overachieving. Mad how these clubs are still searching.

Is willing to? The guy has neglected him for a year

Maybe they need to sell a certain young English midfielder in order to fund him

I'm already hyped for this Germany match, like. The country is going to go beserk over the next week - sometimes good, sometimes bad (Gattuso). England, Germany, Wembley. Southgate redemption. Bring it on.

They have to unload a lot of baggage first

As well as Rashica, Norwich are seemingly about to sign Ajer and loan Billy Gilmour. We can't compete.
