I'm too old for all this shit.

England and wolves will be the death of me

I guess, with that, Southgate gets to pick when and if he goes. Another semi booked. Hardly inspiring but the end result is there.

Did Toney pop over to Greece and shit in your olive oil?

I kin hope not,
I just don't rate him.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

I’m feeling ridiculously stressed after that!

5 great penalties though.

Half a viagra helps?

Felt quite emotional seeing the beaming smile on Saka's face when he scored, you can see that was a bit of a weight lifted

Soithgate gets a lot wrong but 3/4 of his tournaments he’s been at we’ve at least reached the SF

Southgates tactics all along, take every game to penalties

 

[Jack Regan]

As soon as Switzerland missed the first I felt any tension went and fancied were were always going to score them.

 

[jlo]

Right, Luke Shaw is fit. He plays in the next game surely

 

[Tuco]

Why is Shearer praising Southgate? They won in spite of him IMO.

Yep the fawning over the performance in the studio has been fairly pathetic also. With the players on the park we have we should beating Switzerland fairly comfortably not relying on having better penalty takers than them.

Dunno about that. Swiss are well organised and play quickly on the break. Not an easy team to beat but you do get the feeling we play with the handbrake on at times. We don't move the ball fluently on the attack and having a statue in the form of Kane doesn't help. So, on paper, yes we should be better and beat them in 90 mins but we have a coach who wants to reign them in. For me, we lose Kane and go with Toney or Watkins as they are more mobile and look much hungrier for the ball.

I’d back us at penalties against anyone these days.

 

[pagey]

Never want to see the ref again, he was fucking clueless.

Think he's an imminent retiree anyway

 

[jd1981]

1990,96,98,2004,2006, 2012, 2021 all times we’ve lost on penalties so forgive me if I don’t care if people call us lucky

Netherlands and Turkey already far more open than any of the other three QF.
