And we make positive changes, goal

fuck off southgate

[SNSUN]

[SNSUN]

That was supposed to be a nun. Works for Saints...

[Toadhall Saint]

Thank fuck for that

[Toussaint]

Never I doubt, il glad I remained stoic and resisted bitching and moaning like you lot.

[SNSUN]

Goalllllllllllll!

(Just realised my mate's tv is running a stream that is 3 mins slow...)

[Turkish]

Gareth Southgate tactical genius 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Another bit of individual brightness, lifts the lack of energy of the team.

[Saint Billy]

See what happens when you attack you fucking idiot Southgate.

[Gloucester Saint]

Saka deserved that, been England’s best player by a mile, out of position or not. England didn’t deserve it, against the run of play as Switzerland were dicking all over us and it was PL v League 1 standard frankly. The England players need to tell Southgate to FO if he starts screaming for 10 men ball behind the ball and drop off.

Hail Mary?

Whoever posted about the Southampton banner/flag. Second tier, to the right side of the goal.

Someone needs to that for sure.

[SNSUN]

3 more subs to be made. Do we need a keeper?

He’ll get the winner

Not sure we’re allowed 2 at the same time. 😉

It must be hard to be coached by one of the best then come to be coached by Southgate 

[kevdoh]

I really hope to fuck we don't spunk this tournament. Southgate needs to fuck off now. It's horrible watching this shit

[SNSUN]

Nobody running, nobody making any movement at all. Fucks sake bring on Gordon and Watkins for the love of God.

I wouldn't put it past Southgate

[Sheaf Saint]

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

[SNSUN]

[sadoldgit]

We stepped up a gear for the equaliser but have been pedestrian again since. 😏

[DT]

Kane distorts the whole team. Way too deep and slow. Makes everything harder for everyone else. Need energy and a manager who knows when to change it. Or is brave enough. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Good to see England proactive after the equaliser. Proactively making sure they fall back into predicta-football.

Another bit of individual magic needed.

[Gloucester Saint]

Kane playing like a middle aged man. Foden being exposed again without his Man City team-mates. Palmer and Eze have livened England up and ensured Saka is not the only bright spark. 

The excuse will come up about the players being tired but the reason they have played an extra hour all told us because of the panic tactics from the manager. Kane off for Toney, had to happen, now England will actually have a striker who gets in the penalty box to aim at. Saka put a peach of cross in earlier and Kane was nowhere near. 

[SNSUN]

Well the good news is, my mate's 3 year old has gone home. Bad news is I now get to concentrate on the game...

[Saint Billy]

Well we all know what happens with England and penalties.

[Sheaf Saint]

Being run ragged now.

If we do manage to win the shootout it will be undeserved IMO.

[ErwinK1961]

So the 5 must be Saka, Bellingham, Toney, Palmer, TAA?

[SNSUN]

[Toussaint]

Should get Gareth to take one, he’s really good I heard?

Wonder if Toney would bet on himself scoring or missing ? 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

One team happy to sit back for penalties. Then happy to hang on for penalties. And that was England.

The Swiss brought on a Burnley player, to a decently organised side and England's stars sruggled to cope.

[Toadhall Saint]

If we don’t go through it’s not the players fault IMO.

[SNSUN]

Come on, do it for Southgate

[Whitey Grandad]

What a shit camera angle for the penalties. 

[Toadhall Saint]

Great pen there

[ChristopheVAFC]

Congratulations on your penalty shoot-out win over Switzerland!

Welcome to the UEFA Euro 2024 semi-finals!

[Disco Stu]

We really are jammy buggers aren't we 😂

[Colinjb]

We barely deserved that. 

Will take it.

Five great penalties to be fair.

[Jimmy_D]

A perfect set of penalties!

From England!

GERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIN!

Semi Final!

[Saint Billy]

Must admit, brilliant penalties.

[adrian lord]

The best set of England penalties ever. Credit where credit is due. Very pleased for Saka who won the game for England with his goal and then his penalty of atonement.
