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

Yeah, who would have thought shooting would have formed part of football.

Nice to win a penalty shoot-out. Played higher up the pitch but created little. Did Kane have a shot? And the set-pieces are still absolutely horrendous.

if Kane did it would be from 60 yards as he doesn’t go in the box

Turkey looking good tbf. They are a team that can completely self destruct on occasion but no sign of it atm.

Was just thinking this about myself, remember in the past bemoaning other teams playing badly and gritting their way through tournaments and how we could never do it.

Now we’re gritting our way through a tournament and I spend most my time annoyed we’re not playing more expansively. I’m just gonna try and enjoy the semi (and Final ) and hope we win by any means necessary.

Big decisions for Gareth next game

Kane is stifling us attacking wise and is drawing the opposition onto us when he drops too deep .

Is he brave enough to move Bellingham alongside Rice and have Palmer and Foden as 10s

Turkey look full of energy and as soon as they get the ball they move it forward. Plus they actually cross the bloody thing

We’ll never truly enjoy it while on tenter hooks all game! It would be better if we actually put teams to the sword for once.

I totally got Southgates systems and style of play when he first took over and had limited options across the park.
Surely now we have to be braver with the amount of talent we have

Just wanna finally see us win a major. Think it’s heading to Spain, but still. If we have to win it as we’re playing, fine, we have to grin and bear it. If we do, we ultimately cannot complain.

Usually I'm really happy if we get through, but not this time out

I feel so frustrated with it all. I didn't celebrate that Bellingham goal either. Just felt a sense of relief.

Of course I do want us win the tournament, but it has to be better than this surely

Exactly.

When we go at teams, we have the ability to rip them apart

If the Turks do the Dutch, I’d fancy us scraping through with another scrappy dull borefest of a win.

Has a team ever made it to a final playing such awful boring football?? Southgate must be rubbing his hands.

If we did somehow make it, his actual record would be up there with the best wouldn’t it?? It’s truely unbelievable

You could say Greece did it in 04. Portugal definitely in 16

Portugal won in 2016 after finishing 3rd in the group with 3 draws .
But they played a bit better than we are , to be honest as much as we are playing awful , nobody will care if we win it all

Didn't they defend their way to the title nicking set piece goals to progress?
