Gonna be offside isn't it.

No idea. Dutch have got us pegged back a bit, and with only Kane up front we've got no out ball cos he's far too immobile. Need to make changes.

Koeman has identified the problem area from the first half and remedied it, and Southgate doesn't seem to know how to respond to that change.

I agree - he's like an undroppable millstone around our neck.

Saka did so well there, but our lack of a mobile striker meant noone in the box to get on the end of his cutback.

Shaw on for Trippier is a positive change.

Best half of football I've seen from England so far. But a lot of that is down to naivety from the Dutch giving us too much space in the final third. And as poor as they have been, they've scored a good goal and hit the bar, so we can't get complacent.

Wasn't an attempt to trip. They both went for the ball, Kane got there first and got a shot away, but then had his foot caught on the follow through.

Great effort from Foden. Unlucky.

Still waiting for a replay of that but it looked like he was offside when it came through to him.

Surprised the ref changed his mind on that TBH. There was contact but it didn't stop Kane getting his shot away first. Although I suppose you could argue the foul action prevented him from being able to get the clean strike he would have wanted.

Or, indeed, the Russians.

What exactly was Mbappe complaining to the ref about after Spain's first goal?

Shocking defending from Spain for that goal.

I've never seen him play myself, but my nephew has played against him at U21 level a few times and reckons he is up there with the best he's ever played against and going to be some player. Given how accurate he was about Lavia and Livramento, having played against them both previously, I'm inclined to take his word for it.

I joined in an all employee Q&A session with our new Secretary of State today. Nothing groundbreaking and plenty of tempering of expectations, but a solid performance and a repeat of the promise from Starmer that policy will be driven by data and evidence rather than dogma. His first full day on the job, and already we've had more engagement from him than we ever did from any of his 3 predecessors. Promising signs indeed.

I imagine it's significantly harder to find suitably qualified women's managers than men's.

Yep. It's a thing of beauty. Would be really happy with that. So of course it won't be.

He's living the dream. Maximum earning for minimum effort. He's only human, after all.

Except for two crucial goals, yeah no difference at all.

Whereas if you address the socioeconomic issues that cause people to turn to crime in the first place and invest in people's futures, you can achieve the same effect without the need for extra prison spaces.

I wouldn't be so sure. They're clearly vulnerable at the back, if we can play to our strengths and exploit that.

Being run ragged now. If we do manage to win the shootout it will be undeserved IMO.

What more has Schar got to do to get a second yellow FFS? That's at least 3 he should have had by now.

Walker kicking off at Southgate by the looks of it.
