Another poor kick from Puckford.

if that kind of decision was given against us i'd be spitting feathers.

And if it was given for us we’d be stunned

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Wed Jul 07, 2021 10:28 pm

Danes are a better side than I gave them credit for, gave us a good run here.

Maguire an absolute rock, now I finally see why United paid £70M for him

I mean we've beat Man City and Liverpool, that surely means we can beat anyone on a special day.

This is a masterclass in how to keep hold of the ball.

This is as **** as watching Burnley

Except we’re winning

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Wed Jul 07, 2021 10:35 pm

Well done Raheem Sterling.

yTib · Post by **yTib** » Wed Jul 07, 2021 10:35 pm

sterling player of the tournament so far?

GodIsADeeJay81 · Post by **GodIsADeeJay81** » Wed Jul 07, 2021 10:36 pm

So this is a new experience for most of us....anyone got any tips or hints on how we are meant to feel now that England have finally reached a final, apart from shock?

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Wed Jul 07, 2021 10:36 pm

Schmeichel has pulled off some great saves tonight.
Kept them in it.

Absolutely brilliant feeling to get to the final. Brilliant.

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Wed Jul 07, 2021 10:37 pm

Never in doubt, another Southgate masterclass, timing of the subs absolutely bang on.

HahaYeah · Post by **HahaYeah** » Wed Jul 07, 2021 10:38 pm

A proper test now against the swashbuckling Italians...

Commentator comparing this to the WORLD CUP victory….. plonker

BurnleyFC · Post by **BurnleyFC** » Wed Jul 07, 2021 10:40 pm

England were comfortably the better side in the end.

Harry Maguire was absolutely immense.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Wed Jul 07, 2021 10:40 pm

The commentator spoiled extra time for me. Verbal diarrhoea.

Trips played well when he came on plus foden

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Wed Jul 07, 2021 10:42 pm

memorable night, remarkable group, regardless of what happens in the final.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Wed Jul 07, 2021 10:44 pm

I actually feel quietly confident about the final.

At least we didn't have Emma Hayes to listen too much as a result.

I know the Danes have made similar substitutions when they've been winning, but what the f was he doing taking off the two players most likely to create or score a goal? They lost the game with that decision.
Poulson has been lucky, but you can't expect luck every game.
Wish damsgaard was a Claret.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Wed Jul 07, 2021 10:47 pm

if anybody has watched any of the training videos the England camp put out.........that extra time was an immaculate representation of the work they put in every day. Exemplary extra time

He touched my leg haha. Who cares

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Wed Jul 07, 2021 10:50 pm

We ended that game looking like we could play for another 30mins

Full marks to Southgate, his tactics and decisions during these games have been spot on

To all those that keep giving up on their own country, I hope you’re now seeing just what it means to have everyone together, no matter which club team they support!

A win on Sunday would be right up there with play off wins, winning the championship or staying in the premier league.

These moments are rarer than hens teeth and we’ve got to savour them!!

Sorry nowhere near the same feeling for me! Clarets wins mean much more to me.

I’ve never quite understood why he’s had so many critics on this board, people often saying Tarky is a better player, the reverse in my opinion and tonight he proved it. Him and Sterling were outstanding.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Wed Jul 07, 2021 11:07 pm

Maguire has had an outstanding tournament to say he came into it with an injury and not playing for a month or so.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Wed Jul 07, 2021 11:09 pm

Maguire had a fantastic second half and beyond, particularly so as he was on a yellow card. He made one fantastic must win challenge on the halfway line in the second half.

minnieclaret · Post by **minnieclaret** » Wed Jul 07, 2021 11:11 pm

The biggest downside to this tournament is IF we win it the PL will all jump on double pivot midfielders and 5 at the back. Boring as f**k but if we win who cares.

boatshed bill · Post by **boatshed bill** » Wed Jul 07, 2021 11:12 pm

Big shout from me for Walker, Sterling, Maguire and Saka

A lot of the PL already play 3-4-3 (if you wanna call it 5 then sure).

RingoMcCartney · Post by **RingoMcCartney** » Wed Jul 07, 2021 11:17 pm

Thought Rice was very solid. Should start in the final.

CrosspoolClarets · Post by **CrosspoolClarets** » Wed Jul 07, 2021 11:26 pm

Saka did well for the goal, struggled down blind alleys in general. But will start vs Italy due to the lack of pace in their defence.

Maguire was very good, the key player for us.

Pickford dodgy, so he needs protecting.

No point quibbling over things now - one match from glory, it’s win at all costs. We have to protect our weaknesses and let our strengths surge.
