    If correct that’s brilliant.

    Yes it’s correct. Only way to be suspended for the final is to get sent off in the semi.

    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.

    Don’t wish to pry but unless you were over the top, very harsh 😉

    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.

    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!!!

    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.

    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.

    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. 

    Focus all on Wednesday and go again.

    Sterling was brilliant 1st half.

    Every player including subs were great 2nd half.

    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 .

    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.

    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.
    Exactly what I thought. 
    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.

    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.

    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. 
    Told ya. 

    Could tell they were just happy to be there.

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

    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!

    Are you sat in the corner of the room wearing nothing but your pants with your head in your hands repeating, this doesn't make sense?

    That Scotland game feels like a lifetime ago.

    Funny old game. 
    I still don't get all the bedwetting over the Scotland game.
    We needed a point to qualify and we got it quite comfortably.
    A professional job done.

    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.

    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 Danes

    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.

    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?
