I’ve got so many things to say, but first and foremost, fuck me!
I have a horrible feeling we're going to get anticlimactically (is that a word) donned by Italy.
I do think Italy should wipe the floor with you but I'm nervous now, it's only one game and stranger things have happened.
Mahow BANNED for the final please.
Jesus that was brutal to watch. Italy better do the biz. 120 mins of Kane and Sterling going down like Manc's mum
Delighted with how we managed that second half. We really should have had a third on one of those breaks but they really offered not threat at the end.
Are football fans just discovering Sweet Caroline? It's been ruining T20 cricket for about 15 years.
Sterling player of the tournament.
Imagine genuinely caring so much about a team not winning as to be nervous about it. How fucking sad can you get.
England were really good from about the hour mark onwards. Denmark never created anything apart from the goal which you can't do much about.
Henderson for Rice on Sunday.
Monghow in shambles.
Left the pub as soon as Kane scored. Caught my train and presumably missed nothing
I'm a twit
I should be thanked anyway, nothing unites the board as much as hating on me during England games in a tournament.
Red Nev getting a little political dig in on ITV.
Username change to "The Traitor Mahow" please.
How was that penalty not overturned? There’s literally nobody even trying to defend the decision, which speaks volumes.
Henderson made such a difference compared to Rice. A Rice / Philips combo surely gets eaten alive against Italy’s midfield?
Imagine how reserved and reactive Southgate is going to be in the final.
24 took him out even if the first guy didn't. It was soft but stay with the on field decision.
Floods of tears already emerging from certain quarters.
Everyone seems to know the score
She's just a webcam whore
It's for show
They're so sure
That Mahow's gonna throw it away
Gonna blow it away
But so what? I can pay
'Cause I’ll inherit
Three flats and half the house
Pensions, cash and a Rolex
Nothing for his spouse
No more need for camsex
Got the wrong train cos I’m an absolute spaz. Currently on my way from Oxford road to Lea green x £70
I'm a twit
While I will a) be working on the assumption that we lose and b) nervous, because it's what England tournament games do to me I'm not having any notion that Italy are some seriously scary team. They topped a group full of shite, just about survived Austria, beat a bang average Belgium team and squeezed passed Spain - the bottlers' bottler. There's not a great team in the tournament. It'll likely be a close game.
Did he?
On paper you're right but having watched the two games, the difference in intensity / pace / quality was just enormous. I know the next game is another game but still.
Our best hope is Sterling who has been absolutely heroic in every single game. The way he carries the ball, I've never seen anything like it in an England shirt, and I'm not sure I've even seen him do it at club level either.
We've lost. Congratulations Italy.
He's been superb. Far a d away our best player which is some going given how indecisive and timid he'd been in basically every important game for England before this tournament. He's dangerous from the right too so when the changes get made he still tends to be our most reliable attacker.
Yeah, Henderson should be starting ahead of Declan Rice, who is just a bit pointless
And, when we did get deep, you had him and Kane willing to just charge up the pitch and relieve the pressure. With Grealish, Saka, Sancho and Bellingham, we've got that quality covered.
Rice does his job, but with him and Phillips there we are a bit one-paced. It wouldn't surprise me to see Henderson start the final.
It also wouldn't surprise me to see Foden start the final on the right, with Saka introduced later when the old men are flagging.
Sterling is player of the tournament if England win. Kane needs 2 for the Golden Boot right?
Not sure which Italian would get best player if they win. More of a team effort from them really.
Would have been Spinazzolla if he hadn't been killed in the quarter-final. Now probably Chiesa.
I thought the main difference was just that Henderson was fresh. I thought Rice was anonymous in the group's but has been really solid in the knockouts.
Not that I think putting Henderson in would be a downgrade. But I think Mount is a more pressing issue if we're making changes than Rice.
