    To put it in perspective, that 0-0 with Scotland was 2 weeks ago. Some people wanted Southgate lynched after that game.

    Some were, but most of us were just pointing out it was poor and we will need to improve, which we have.

    What a night! Very, very special. I had a lot of faith in this side, but still shocked from a 4-0 quarter final win. Absolutely fabulous!

    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. 

    There will always be few . The many wish us well, as we do them.

    If we’re gonna lose to anyone in the semis they don’t come much nicer than the Danes .

    If we do end up going on to win this tournament, or any in the future for that matter, then it is the absolute duty of every English fan to be as insufferable about it as possible. We'd have bloody earned it.

    Only "if"?

    That's uncharacteristically optimistic for you.

    When the second & third goals went in with our fans singing loud during that period it was magical. Great overall performance especially the second half. 

    Thought the ref was good and a kind thing not to put the Ukraine through another 5 mins added time.

    I didn't know he had any discretion in that.

    I wasn't a difficult game to referee, but it's still nice to watch a game and not to have noticed the man in charge.
    How many games a season in div 1 are ruined by shit refereeing.

    Superb performance, we seem to get better every game.
    Not sure we will actually win the tournament as Italy are some outfit......but having said that, things are looking good.

    Right. Had a few

    Pixkford 9/10
    Stirling 10/10
    Cane 9/10
    Stone 9/10
    Shore 9/10

    Southgate 10/10 can we name a station after him?

    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!
    We’ve ditched this obsession with having one talismanic player. Gazza, Beckham, Rooney…. we’ve had this habit of pinning all our hopes on one superstar, but none of them have ever been good enough to carry that load - you need someone truly special like a Ronaldo or Maradona, which England have never had. 

    We seem to have a manager that finally understands that a well drilled team is most likely to do well and we finally have depth of talent and no obvious weakness in the team (e.g. the old left sided problem).

    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.

    And an added bonus was getting the tossers to act like they'd won the World Cup. How pathetic they are.

    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 

    Well said. Tough crowd on here!

    I might if I knew what one was. 
    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?
    Are you peering through the gap in my living room curtains?

    What a win! 

    Getting good game time into the squad who hadn't had the opportunity thus far was a real bonus, it was a smart move from GS. 

    I think Pickford had his poorest game, 2 bad attempted clearances, that luckily didn't bite us on the arse. 

    Denmark will be a much sterner test. But they will fear us more than we will of them. 

    I hope Spain and Italy kick the living shit out of each other in the other semi.

    I’m going to keep writing England off until we win, bit like Leicester winning the league in 2016.

    We are getting better and better as the tournament goes on , sure there was plenty of England fans telling Southgate he should be starting Grealish or whoever, I think we’ve got to start trusting this guy.

    As other have already put eloquently, Denmark don’t frighten me, but we’ve got to stay calm and professional (the players that is, the fans can go bleeding mental).

    Seeing Lampard, Rio, Shearer and Gary Lineker in the studio you can see how much they want us to win and what it would mean to the country.

    Weve been through a lot as a country with Covid in the last 2 years, locked up, not seen people and lost loved ones family and friends, this just gives us all a bit of hope and respite, I hope we can do it.

    Arise Sir Gareth..,,,
