    Hazard made that look ridiculously easy

    We would have really struggled against France based on this. In reality we should be very happy to have reached the semi-finals.

    Phil Jones is aids
  • Phil Jones is a fucking donkey, 5 yards deeper than the rest of the back line playing him on, then gets his feet tangled up going for the ball.

    Harsh. England have been the better side second half but you can't give players like hazard that kind of space

    Missed too many chances this half.

    Well that's that.

    Not bad. Not good enough. Better than we expected.

    In perspective, we're in the bottom 5 teams at the world cup for chances created from open play. There's still a lot of work to do.

    Phil Jones showed why he’s not been starting in this tournament, what a donkey.

    Jones over Tarkowski was a weird weird choice
  • We've been very wasteful in second half. Phil Jones is a carthorse.

    Kane looks like he can barely strike up a jog. I'm baffled why Southgate has kept him on.

    As others has said on here, Jones is pony. No positional sense, not a first ball defender, not exactly comfortable on the ball the way Maguire is or Stones is. Don’t rate him at all.

    Truth is Belgium are going home as utter failures - this is the golden generation for them. They had to win it now - they have nothing coming through in the junior teams. They will probably be useless in a decade - back to being an average European team.

    We on the other hand are smashing it in the junior tournaments.

    (*there is no bitterness in this - honest*)

    And a Spurs player will probably lift the World cup tomorrow

    When fit Gomez will replace Jones in the England squad

    I know, but tbe question was how many were on the pitch at the time.

    Rose had already been taken off

    Picking up on the conversation the commentators had just now about young English talent coming trough, I do hope this tournament reignites the passion for England and gives people a forward thinking view.

    Hopefully City, Everton, Utd fans (as a small example) pressure their respective clubs to play the Fodens, Lookmans, Angel Gomes’ rather than dumping £28m on players like Cenk Tosun as a perhaps harsh example.

    It’s all very well having talented youngsters but absolutely pointless if you’re going to block their route to the first team.

    Although I expect the FA will solve the issues with Premier League B teams rather than tackle the actual issue at hand.

    If we have ambition he should be nowhere near the squad, same as smalling

    Dier and Loftus-Cheek were quality today
