Watching that BBC video .

That bit of skill from Sterling to play in Shaw for the kane goal was so sweet

Last night was a very professional performance and I love that Southgate has shushed the naysayers. Three semi finals in 3 years, that's huge.

We will win , I feel quite comfortable about that .

Denmark looked tired yesterday , and England looked fresh .
We have a squad able to replace like for like personal where Denmark don't have that ability .
We are also at Wembley , its a big deal .

The only way it goes tits up is if WE play below par .. if we play well the games over before it kicks off because we're a better side

Agree. I reckon we’’ll need a couple more gears than last night, but expect to win.

Sterling was involved in 19 England goals before this tournament in a row. He was always a must pick on the team sheet

He has been magnificent in this tournament, but if you cannot see the difference between how he is playing for England now, and how he was before this tournament generally, then I'm afraid I can't help you.

If we win it ..and Argentina win the copa America, we will be world number 1 ?
Brazil are above us currently but if they fail to win the copa America they will go below us ?

I’m too stubborn. I’ll admit I was wrong about Southgate when everyone accepts Harry Kane is World Class

I look at that Denmark side and feel it should be no harder than the Germany game, even if it is a semi final. Do what we are meant to and we should be in the final. I really hope Spain do Italy though.

Although I wasn’t completely blown away by their performance against Belgium I still think they are stronger than Spain. Spain play really passive football, and the way we pressed Ukraine last night would be really effective.

Why is anyone admitting they were wrong about Southgate? We all knew we could beat a poor side like Ukraine. We have to be winning this tournament and anything else is a failure

I think for me it's less about managerial ability that's winning me over , it's more to do with his man management, bringing the squad together ... for example putting spotlight on unused players last night and they all seem to really like him .

I think sometimes you can make up for managerial shortcomings if you have a group of players that will run through a brick wall for you .

Ofcourse Southgate gets things wrong and I don't always like our style , but we are progressing as a nation on the international stage .. who am I to say it's wrong I suppose

We can argue we should be winning, and we've had some luck with draws but fuck it who cares ..we still have to win

He's also a very nice chap

* 3 tournaments, 3 semi finals, 1st time ever
* Zero goals conceded, 1st time ever
*Only one England manager ever has a better record
* best team spirit I’ve ever seen in an England team

Just a hunch but maybe that’s something to do with how he’s managing to win people over

If I was England manager we would have beat Scotland and would win the whole tournament with a record amount of goals scored I would also start myself at right back as I have no right foot and I’m still better than Kyle Walker.

I assume as England manager you would ban @CJ_covblaze from attending any games?

Boosh you are ok. A bit infantile sometimes but definitely one of the better ones

Walker has been ok, but Shaw has been much better... imho

If we lose to Denmark then it is a failure, we certainly concur on that, however at this stage I don't think anyone could possibly say a negative word about the tournament & Southgate

100%. Also after my performance at the euros no doubt City would offer me the job and I would then ban him from attending our games too (not that he makes many of them anyway).

He could still go to Wasps games I wouldn’t want to half the amount of paying customers they have by banning him.

As much as most of us favour club over country, we can’t deny ourselves how much it actually means to us. Think some people are still struggling with that.

Clapped the Wasps top brass at that protest and openly admits he’s England over City.

England, Wasps, Coventry in that order
