Completely impossible to defend against that.

The guy is completely out of control going into more or less a 50/50 with his studs at 90 degrees that high.

Red all day long man. It’s a miracle he’s not broken his leg.

I get the argument for wanting more attacking football given the forwards we have but we have literally got to the quarter finals without conceding a goal. We haven’t looked threatened by the opposition in most games and this is a tournament where France lost to Switzerland etc. Even tonight Germany’s main chance was due to Sterling making an individual error in an attacking scenario. We’ve had bags of attacking talent in the past and gotten nowhere. We just beat Germany. In a knock out game. 2-0.

I think so

Spot on. I think a lot of us might’ve gotten a bit too used to moaning about the team we support . If you couldn’t enjoy that performance - knocking Germany out of a tournament 2-0 - I think it’s probably time to consider whether watching football is a healthy lifestyle choice for you.

For me, the defiance against the racists has made this team a whole lot easier to get behind too. I’ve never wanted an England side to win more despite feeling extremely disconnected from football at club level.

We’re all Newcastle fans here. I know what it’s like to support a genuinely dull team. England aren’t dull. There is attacking purpose behind the tactics. We exploited their wing back system without ever letting them get in behind ours. The displays from the likes of Sterling, Saka, Phillips, Walker, Maguire, Shaw and Grealish weren’t dull imo.

Mostly agreed although I honestly don’t think we should be classed as dull as fuck after that game. Calculated sure, but I don’t think we were dull.

Positive energy guys, come on.

If, and it's a big if judging by this tournament so far, Kane turns up I don't see anyone in that German line up being able to deal with him tbh. If he can drop in and play passes through for Sterling and Saka I think we'll be fine.

Decent line up tbh. Coming home.

What an incredible day of football, man. This tournament has been awesome. Inevitable that we bring it home too imo.

Should’ve brought big Fab Schar on to take the penalty.

Doesn’t matter who we get in the next round tbh. Football coming hone is inevitable.

They’ve given him the freedom of that side as they’re shitting themselves about Grealish/Sterling tbf, but yeah he’s doing well.

Luke Shaw’s all over them.

This pretty much, but if he’s MOTM tonight there’s no doubt he should be starting the next round imo. Especially if Mount’s going to be out.

Gah. Would’ve liked a Finland equaliser as Danes have probably done enough to qualify in third.

Would’ve been a sensational gol

We could do with a couple of goals and at least one from Kane, for the sake of confidence. Hope Southgate sets the team up accordingly, regardless of personnel.

He’s ridiculous. At least Lawro was accidentally funny sometimes.

That combination of Robertson/Tierney will give pretty much any side a headache. It's a shame for Scotland they don't have a forward to match.

Foden was pretty much the only player who looked like he was going to cause Scotland problems imo. Every other player was happy to just pass the ball sideways/backwards in front of Scotland’s block (or in Sterling’s case yesterday simply just be incapable of controlling the ball).
