If anyone gets chance to tick of the San Siro before they knock it down I would recommend it. Despite feeling a bit dilapidated inside and even being far from full it retains the wow factor and I can imagine for a big game the atmosphere would be electric.
Made the trip in spite of the poor performance on the pitch. If you have a choice though, don’t opt for the top tiers, those spiral staircases were never ending!!
I did the stadium tour with my wife when we were out there on our 1st wedding anniversary (we did go for a nice meal in the evening). Surprised at how run down parts of it were, especially the changing rooms, in which my wife wouldn’t let me use the toilets
Not sure I can watch the second half. We do look threatening on the break admittedly but there is no real plan other than to defend and nick a goal. Our players are used to playing the way Germany are and we're set up like a lower half premier league team up against a top four team. Our midfield is getting outplayed as we have a man wasted as a third centre back so it's impossible to retain possession and pass through the lines like Germany are doing with ease.
Having said that Germany haven't really threatened, but that's probably because their front three wouldn't get in our team.
Maguire and Shaw aren’t playing for united but they are different beasts in an England shirt, Shaw provides much more balance.
I was surprised by that. They were an easy target to criticise, and Maguire nearly gave away a goal in the opening period, but they settled and look fine - a couple of decent passes to try and open the defence by Shaw especially.
The way England play out from the back with being caught on the ball and short passes back to the keeper is just like Charlton. So is the lack of shots and the few they had at or near the keeper.
We're missing Pickford!! - Bloke is constantly shouting and talking to his defence... Best ball playing Goalkeeper we have, so we actually play out from the back rather than hurried clearances.
Plus... Im sorry Nick but that was a ridiculous attempt to save a penalty.
This could be a good game for England if Southgate walks. But he won't. He said blame me after Italy game then made excuses on Sunday so he clearly didn't mean it.

I'd still like to see 4-3-3
That ball Shaw played for Sterling was unreal. Couldn't believe my eyes.
