You just never know, we've been shite like but so were Man Utd and they pretty comfortably beat City in the FA Cup final so freak results can happen. Very rare a team wins all 7 games as well. Think whoever wins tomorrow has a chance.

Football in general just isn't as entertaining nowadays across the board. It's become so tactical and analysed to death with sports science etc that so many games are just like chess. The lower down you go the less you see it and it results in better games, but at the top level the great games are fee and far between. It's no surprise some of the best games of this tournament have involved some of the lesser fancied nations/players. It's the same with the Prem, the big games are pretty much always shite, it's only really Liverpool/Man City against each other that produces top quality. I can count on one hand the amount of great games in the Prem last season and I probably wouldn't get to 5. There's too much football, it's far too tactical and there's far too much of the shit scared to lose so play for a draw attitude. It's just getting more and more boring in general.

Spain Gareth Southgated it

Surely at this point they just ban drinking in the stands and taking the cups out for the rest of the tournament? Can just steward it like over here. It's happened in most games so fans can't be trusted.

Don't mind the odd Ed Sheeran song like, but being forced to watch him like that in an environment with my work colleagues sounds like hell on earth. Fuck that.

Turkey will be a good shout to reach the final now like, don't think the Dutch defence will cope with them and would fancy them to beat Switzerland or England too.

Uefa investigating Bellingham - that'll be him banned for Saturday

What gives you that feeling/confidence? I'm not sure we'll even beat Slovakia tomorrow let alone Switzerland. Switzerland have looked much much better than England all tournament so far, and given the noises from Southgate it's doubtful that'll change much. Switzerland will beat England.

Hilarious how he said we improved second half and the highlights showed that play with Gordon and Palmer...both of which won't start tomorrow. Clueless

Switzerland/Austria could be a hell of Semi Final like, two good attacking sides, be a great game

Well this is fucking dreadful. Atmosphere is shite, commentary is as dull as ever and hardly anything happening on the pitch. Italy are so dull, if they get through and play England next week it could be the most boring game ever witnessed.

Big game this, would say whoever wins this will definitely be in the Semis and have a good chance of making the final.

We've failed to beat Slovenia and Denmark, scraped past Serbia. I wouldn't even say the red carpet has been laid out, all the teams on the side of the draw we're on have been better than us, aside from maybe Slovakia, but they did beat Belgium. No way can we be considered favourites based on that. If we end up winning Sunday, we'll lose next Saturday. The tournaments done for us, it's never been this negative under Southgate, there's clearly divisions in the camp and the harmony between fans and players has ended. You get the feeling the players are resenting the fans now. It never ends well.

If Gallagher is the only change tomorrow then we may as well not bother, nothing has been learnt and we'll be home by this time next week anyway so there's just no point.

The Wenger one makes the most sense surely? If any part of your body is onside then it's not off. Would cut down on it loads as the tight ones are always wheres he's off by a toenail or some other shite when most his body is onside.

Worth noting as well that we were dreadful in the group stage at Euro 2020 and ended up getting to the final, playing really well against Germany, battering Ukraine and a good perfowncne against Denmark in the Semis. So yeah, it's all about getting through and hopefully getting better from there. Win tonight and we've won the group too (I'm assuming we don't lose to Slovenia) which is important and can rest players/try a couple new things on Tuesday night and crack on from there

If Gallagher is the answer then I don't want to know the question- not winning a tournament with him in the side

He was fine pre match like, either been going mental during the first half on the tabs or he's coming down with something like, be home by next week

I didn't think it was a pen either, however Rodri and the rest of the players didn't contest or anything either so Rodri must've felt he did something

Scotland have no chance against either of these, another tournament with zero points/1 point at best

Trent in midfield is a horrendous decision. He's just not very good there. Thankfully it's very rare you keep the same team throughout a tournament etc so hopefully by the group stages it's changed, but Southgate doing this and thus meaning Foden is chucked out on the left doesn't fill me with confidence. If you're chucking Foden on the left he may as well not play, it's got all the hallmarks of an early exit this, not playing the best players in their best positions is often the undoing at this level. Fuming this squad have ended up hamstrung at another tournament by Southgate.

Eurgh, this is literally a carbon copy of what all of our group games will be like, low blocks and sitting back and us just knocking it backwards and forwards for hours on end before the odd chip hoping for something, going to be soul destroying watching if we don't get early goals

Defence and Foden inevitably being played out on the left is what will cost us and stop us winning it unfortunately.

Anyone got/tried on the cheaper one yet? What's the sizing like? I always tend to go a size up to what I am

Gazza is on good form like but was embarrassing that podcast from Linekar, Shearer and Richards. Pissing themselves every time he says anything and telling him how amazing he was etc, was a bit too forced for me.
