I thought we were slightly better in that game than previous, without actually creating all that much.

The mentality of the penalty takers was great, all looked proper confident. Are we shithousing our way to a final?

Kane wasn’t great
Bellingham marginally better than in previous games, other than that first half of first game.
Foden still trying way too hard
Saka good
Palmer good
Mainoo good
Luke Shaw needs to stop playing darts in the pub and turn up to some training sessions, but he was decent enough when he came on

Who’s everyone hoping for for semi final? Think Turkey might be more dangerous a tie than Holland

Wondering this myself. Netherlands are more similar in style, but would we cope with Turkey’s audaciousness of getting the ball forward?

Turkey are a mad bunch, definitely dangerous but could easily self destruct. Also fancy there to be loads of bookings in their quarter

If it's the Netherlands, they will create plenty of chances but appear to struggle to score. If it's Turkey, who knows what they will do. Knowing England they will somehow squeeze through on penalties and then get France in the final.

Not sure you can score 5 goals from just one single shot.

Never ever enjoyed watching England less than right now

And it's because we have SO MANY really exciting players.

But it's like they are playing in strait jackets

Because we have such talented players. But Southgate has us looking like a pub team.

The stat on how many shots we have the entire tournament is truly shocking

Honestly think he is just copying Deschamps blueprint. Stay as solid as possible and hope a star does something mental to win it. Done France well for years.

The best thing that can happen here is Turkey go through. The way they play would really suit our strengths.

What game was he watching?

England boss Gareth Southgate, speaking to BBC One: "I thought the players were brilliant, it is the best we have played. To come from behind and shown character and resilience we did... it isn't just about playing well.

"It was so brave from Bukayo, he is one of our best and we were never in question he would take one. But we all knew what he went through.

"Huge performance, huge result and we are still in it. We had to be tactically spot on. We are in a third semi-final and it says a lot about the whole group. I thought we had good control."

It's bollocks isn't it.

It wasn't character. It was one out of the blue moment from Bukayo Saka.

Then we looked decent for a few mins, before then resorting to sitting deep again.

Leave that to you then.

I just feel relief and nothing else. Not a single jot of happiness at all.

We had complete control of the first half. Just didn’t do the most important part.

Perfect set up. Now we need Turkey to have to desperately defend by kicking lumps out of the dutch
