If correct that’s brilliant.RedChaser said:if I heard the commentary team correctly yellow cards to date are now expunged.0 -
Yes it’s correct. Only way to be suspended for the final is to get sent off in the semi.3

Talk about football coming home
And then one night in Rome
We were strong, we had grown
And now I see Rice ready for war
Sterling good as before, Kane certain to score
And Southgate screaming

And another thing.
How fit is Kyle Walker?
I'm not talking boyish good looks. The fellas a machine and must be hitting numbers better than he has his whole career.
Extraordinary!

I had a semi at 4-0. Then got a red card from the other half.

It's pleasing that Matt Bianco are trending on Twitter, e.g.

Don't want to hear any more whinging about Gareth Southgate. Every single one of those people can get straight back into their box.8

Cheers matey. Ive just filed that in the shittest football fact I’ve ever heard drawer :-)ForeverAddickted said:Is it just me but has anyone else noticed that Henderson has 62-caps and 1-goal
Put that together and you get 63... He scored in the 63rd minute...

I was born in 55, I was 11 in 66, when we last won a major tournament. It is now 55 years since then and now I'm 66.
We must be bringing it home.......surely!!!2 - Sponsored links:

We put in one of those performances tonight which I think could have beat every other country.
The real exciting thing is I genuinely think we can get better.13 -
Well i for one was not impressed as for Southgate and that lazy fecker Kane...0

Amazing tonight. And don’t want to bring it down but some of the anti English stuff on social media from the Scots and welsh is pathetic.
Small man’s syndrome on overdrive.2 -
Personally I'm not getting carried away, we were good but let's not forget this was a Ukraine side that only finished with 3 points in their group and maybe got a little lucky against Sweden. Denmark will be a much tougher test but I'm very much encouraged by the professional and mentally strong way the team is approaching each of these games.AFKABartram said:We put in one of those performances tonight which I think could have beat every other country.

Focus all on Wednesday and go again.2 -
Sterling was brilliant 1st half.
Every player including subs were great 2nd half.2 -
If we’re gonna lose to anyone in the semis they don’t come much nicer than the Danes .
If they beat us I’d want them to win it .8 -
This team can beat anybody. A more attacking approach tonight , but it's not rocket science . We have the best attacking players in Europe . Play to your strengths.2

Exactly what I thought.ValleyGary said:I don’t wanna go OTT but this performance gives better vibes than anything I’ve seen over watching England since 1996. We’ve absolutely smashed them and now we get to play potentially two games at Wembley to win a major tournament. Southgate you fucking legend.
The best I can remember since beating the Dutch in 96.
Brilliant for everyone that wanted the solid winning formula and presumably painful for all those that were happy to get knocked out as long as we played non stop attacking football and didn't care about clean sheets.4 -
There's something quite motivating about the reaction of the Ukrainians after the match, it was like when a small team reaches the 5th round of the FA Cup and gets beaten comfortably by a big club. They see us as a real football power, and have no shame in losing like that, which shows how other countries see us.1

Told ya.SELR_addicks said:Ukraine should give us no trouble.
In every game they haven't shown anything that would indicate they're a potential banana skin.
Came 3rd in a group that contained Austria and N. Macedonia. Then scraped by a Sweden team with ten men.
Could tell they were just happy to be there.1 -

During the groups there were definitely people saying they’d rather see us lose so Southgate would be sacked.MrOneLung said:

The performance was machine like. A well oiled unit. Everyone knows their role and is given license to perform to the best of their ability together.Really a “more than the sum of it’s parts” team which I can’t ever remember being the case with England before, not since I’ve been around and following football anyway…And that’s before remembering the players are pretty decent anyway!7

I still don't get all the bedwetting over the Scotland game.AFKABartram said:That Scotland game feels like a lifetime ago.
Funny old game.
We needed a point to qualify and we got it quite comfortably.
A professional job done.7 -
Denmark isn't a walkover.
We have the ability to do it, but I can see us finding it tough to break them down. And they will properly test us at the back in their current form.2 -
Beat Croatia 'It's just Croatia'. Beat Czech Republic in second gear 'You should be beating them!'. Beat Germany comfortably 'Germany aren't the force they were'. Beat Ukraine, 'It's just Ukraine don't get so happy'.
Sit down. A team we can all be proud of, we haven't even seen what these boys can do when they're up against it, we just always look in cruise control.
Bring on the Danes15 -
Apologies, but they were, maybe non stop attacking football isn't accurate, but certainly heavily criticising Southgate for playing so defensively and would rather be knocked out playing attacking football than win boring.MrOneLung said:

In fact I was in a small minority that backed Southgate from the start on the basis that our previous strategies have never worked in my lifetime, so why not try a different strategy?9
