Feels a bit corny saying but Saka stepping up and converting that penalty was brilliant and the fact he kept us in it. Not redemption but sticks 2 fingers up to all those arseholes who trolled him with shocking abuse

 

[Lupo]

Think he's an imminent retiree anyway

Yeah. Unless he gets the final that was his last ever game

 

[Jack Regan]

Turkey in front, great ball in.

 

[jd1981]

Türkiye in Dortmund will feel very much like an away game

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

 

[Trips]

First, Southgate is such a lucky fucking manager. Evryone could see after 60 mins we needed subs, he left it until we conceded on 75

Second, his interview after the game "We can't always play well, sometimes we need to dig in" - I get that, but we could try playing well at some point though

You can't knock his record - SF, Final, QF, SF* - but fuck me, if he was more proactive than reactive, we may have won one

 

[Del Woppio]

His record has been a par performance when you look at the routes in each tournament, including this one. You'll give him Germany in the second round as a passed test, but other than that he's failed every one.

We were OK in spells today particularly first half, but the last half an hour of normal time was fucking wank. Once we got to ET I'd have given anybody 5/1 on penalties

I agree that should probably F, Winner, F

 

[AndyWolves]

It's so fucking weird, his record on paper is very impressive but I guarantee when he leaves and the next manager comes in, no one will be pining for the Southgate days.

 

[Del Woppio]

He shouldn't get a PL job in all honesty

 

[jd1981]

His knockout wins Colombia, Sweden, Germany, Ukraine, Denmark, Senegal, Slovakia, Switzerland.
Germany is the big one in there, nevertheless prior to Sweden everyone was saying how difficult it would be today was supposed to be a severe test it was but we got through.
This is all post 2014 & 2016 when we were a virtual laughing stock.

 

[Kenny]

Well this game flipped quickly!

 

[Jack Regan]

Dutch have turned it around. Probably another own goal.

 

[Sniffer]

Did Gakpo just take his leg there?

 

[jd1981]

Should be a relative formality for the Dutch on Wednesday apparently

 

[Tredman]

This is just mad

How have they missed

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

We **should** have beaten France?
