Last night, breaking records along the way, calm assured and professional.

A very poor Ukraine side though you must admit?

England haven't had results as good since I've been born

Out of interest which has been your favourite result/best performance under Southgate?

Just bumping this thread.

Well done BillyBalfour that was a solid £20 bet!

Definitely.

Having watched all Denmark’s games I do think they will be our first real test.

Winstonswhite

I think him and Pidcock are competing aren’t they? Don’t know enough about it to whether either of them will challenge for a medal though.

Winstonswhite

I’m out today so missed the action but looks like Pog has destroyed everyone? Thomas losing 35 minutes in one stage?!!

Dont rest players for the next game that might not happen. Play the team you think is best to win the game youre in

Read a Southgate article this morning where he stated he wouldn’t dream of resting players for the semi.

Winstonswhite

Came up against a very good Italian side tonight.

It’s tough to win any tournament no matter who your players are. As we know too well.

Winstonswhite

Time for a breakaway to win?!

Winstonswhite

I suppose we’ll see how much pain Thomas is in after his dislocation as it’s a long way to hold his position.

Should be a good TT with plenty of potential winners. Interested to see how Roglic is after falling on right on his arse.

I’m going to stick a pin in and go for Kasper Asgreen.

Winstonswhite

Raggy bastards

Winstonswhite

That’s a Penalty all day long

Winstonswhite

Please be a penalty!

Winstonswhite

Poor Thomas off again. But he’s at least made it to the finish and not lost too much time.

Ewan is supposedly out now which opens up the sprints for Cavendish no doubt.

Winstonswhite

We won’t have to get after them. The Germans have used all their luck up in the group stages. Man for man they’re worse. Rudiger and Neuer are mistakes waiting to happen and up front they’ve zilch to worry us- They needed two own goals to get their only victory. I expect a game very similar to Swede...

Winstonswhite

Another great finish and really good news MvdP gets into yellow.

i don't think passion is the problem for the english lads; i think it's more a combination of clueless tactics and an obvious lack of fitness.

kane doesn't lack passion at the moment. what he lacks is legs.

!uck me we’ve conceded zero goals and won the group. You don’t ask for much do you?!

Winstonswhite

I’m not sticking up for Bale, but surely this is the complete opposite of “ego” He’s walked off because “there’s a time and a place to answer questions about me and my career...This is about Wales and how we’ve been knocked out of the Euros.” . Just my take on it anyway. Has his wife got nice tits?

Winstonswhite

I sportsman being p!sssd off and gutted he’s been knocked out of a competition. Never!!

slightly ignorant from bale there.

Come off it. I’m not his biggest fan but he’s gutted to have been knocked out then someone’s asking him if he’s going to retire, so he’s walked off. Fair enough.

Winstonswhite

Another bad one. Looked even worse. Hope Froome is ok

Winstonswhite

I’d love to see Alaphilippe win today but can’t look beyond MvdP with the finish. The whole thing, like said is impossible to predict, but surely Pogacar has even more of a chance than last year. But I do think Carapaz is long at 12/1. Anyway, we’ll see and looking forward to seeing how Cav gets on ...

Winstonswhite

Good stuff. Easy beat them.

Winstonswhite

Are Portugal not still through though as long as they draw?

Winstonswhite

That’s not a pen in any stretch of the imagination

Winstonswhite

About time. They always get the decisions when someone even breathes on them

Winstonswhite

It’s a bit like following through a tackle then taking someone out. A bit harsh but see why it’s given.

It’s made this group even more interesting anyway

Winstonswhite

looking how the group currently stands it will be either Germany or France, I suspect Germany. I don't fancy the Portuguese to get anything against France today tbh France have stuttered a bit in their first two games. Itll be interesting to see which of their big players show up tonight. And I can...

Winstonswhite

If Sweden win then its looking like it might be Sweden or Ukraine who we'd play should we make it through the tough last 16 match. If my calcs are correct then Semi's would be one from Holland, Czech Republic, Wales or Austria. Spain failing to win their group really opens up the bottom half of the...

Winstonswhite

Another own goal. Brilliant

Winstonswhite

Spain running riot here. About time though

Winstonswhite

Not much to say about tonight’s game is there?

I’m more excited to see who we’ll play. Should be a cracking couple of matches tomorrow night.

We’re so lucky to play at Wembley and I think they’re raising the capacity so it could be one of those nights.

Winstonswhite

I can’t understand the negativity either and thought it was massively arrogant to think that all we had to do was turn up and we’d beat Scotland.

Tonight’s a far better indicator as to where we are as a team.

Winstonswhite

You are very generous. These are pros. As Paul Scholes said after retiring, “I’ve never done anything on a football pitch that I didn’t know what I was doing”. This was in response to a question about his tackling being like a forwards. You’re quoting someone who couldn’t tackle admitting to purpos...

They'll get sliced apart defensively by the better sides. Looking like world beaters in the group against poorer sides doesn't win you trophies.

You could be right. It’s strange during the 30 games they’ve not played any friendlies against the big nations.

Winstonswhite

I'm still holding off real judgement of this Italian team as they still haven't faced any sort of attacking threat but going forward they are great to watch and they win the ball back so quickly. I think it’s hard to judge any team- given the way competitions are seeded these days and no one cares ...

Winstonswhite

Italian reserves looking just as good as the first team.

Winstonswhite

Do they “only” need to win to top the group or is it goal difference?

Winstonswhite

Is he world class?

Plenty of players have scored goals in the past and I’m just throwing it out there, but Fowler and Cole for instance were never world class.

Winstonswhite

Germany aren’t dead yet!

Winstonswhite

Ronaldo great team goal massively against the run of play

Winstonswhite

Big result that draw.

Should we win on Tuesday, it could mean we play France at Wembley last 16

Winstonswhite

I wouldn’t fancy Sweden last 16 in Copenhagen

Winstonswhite

Finish 2nd, play Portugal or France in the last 16

Finish top play either of them in the quarters. No real difference.

Winstonswhite

Winstonswhite

Terrible appointment.

I’d hate to be an Everton fan.

Winstonswhite

Turkey absolutely terrible after I’d said they’d beat Wales. That’s why I don’t bet on football!

That donkey Yilmaz was more of a hindrance than a help and should have been hooked at half time.

Winstonswhite

Superb goal. Wales a lot better tonight.

I should have put a smiley winnie, I knew I'd forgotten something

Good one!

That’ll teach me to try and multi task!!

Winstonswhite

What? Harry Kane has flown over to Copenhagen to see him? That can’t be true.

Winstonswhite

Just been checking and if England win their group they play the runner up from France, Germany or Portugal. If they are second in the group they play runners up from Spain, Sweden, Slovakia or Poland. Will GS have the nous to throw a match? Well he threw the last group match at the World Cup didn’t...
