What a fecking goal that was, amazing. No stopping that.

This has been a great game so far, Spain have been miles better.

But could he do it on a freezing February night in Scunthorpe?

A good game including the big boys at last. Spain will win the thing playing like this. 

They’re in a weird paradox where their games get progressively easier as they go on. Germany were the next best team in the tournament, that game should have been the final. If they make it to the final, Eng/Ned are both worse than France.

If Spain don't win the Euros there's no justice. They've been head and shoulders the best team all tournament and the manager had the balls to select a 16 year old from the get go. They're defensively gettable but their attacking options are good. The Dutch could give them a tough final but I can't see England doing the same.

Still, sometimes you can win ugly...

I'm not ruling France out yet though. Ten minutes left and Giroud on the pitch...

I hadn't realised that before tonight, we have scored the same number of goals as France, conceded the same, had the same number of draws and wins, and even won penalty shootout by the same score. Looks like we're gonna lose 2-1 tomorrow!!

The French have been putting their shots over the bar all tournament. They had their chances tonight but Spain were the better side and must be hot favourites to take the trophy. They will have us for breakfast if we get through.

But Luke Shaw said in his interview, that GS allows them to play with complete freedom.

He must get complete freedom on the bench tbf.

The 'leak' today, which is pretty much nailed to happen I think, is that Shaw misses out again and Trippier once again plays left back.

Although I think many of us would bench Kane tonight but understand that Southgate will stick with him as a starter come what may, surely it is a no brainer to start Shaw ahead of Trippier if fit to start?

We have been underperformed in every match so far. Why on earth would you stick with the same stating X1, unless changes were enforced by suspension/injuries, with so many decent options on the bench?

What is the leak? Unchanged? 

Back to the Slovakia formation, Guehi back in for Konza - back to a back 4, with Trippier left, Walker right.

Saka right wing, Foden left wing.

Basically, all wrong.

What possible justification would he have for that? Pray that's wrong.

Who is the dirtiest? Laura or Karen?

Laura wins everything ever.

 

COME ON ENGLAND! It is as hard supporting England as it is Saints right now but you have to back the boys. The Dutch have been better than us for pretty much the whole tournament but we have the players - we just have to hope Southgate doesn't stifle us. 

 

Guehi in for Konsa otherwise the same team as last time.

Oh well, no surprises there sadly.

Gakpo has been lively this tournament but they are beatable. Maybe we will turn up tonight?

Sad that we've been saying this all tournament. An array of talent, fuck all cohesion or style of play.

Us England fans start each game hoping it's the one where the undoubted array of talent at our disposal clicks and we play decent football and win with a flourish. I'm not sure today is the day but we live in hope.
