The wife is currently upstairs while I'm watching the game, the Oyarzabal miss made me shout so loud she messaged me asking if I'm ok

Never seen a team so brilliant at creating chances and so utterly useless at finishing them

What a lovely goal!

Immobile is beyond useless.
It's a cliche at this point, but I genuinely forgot he was playing

Simon is making realise why Guillem Balague said Kiko Casilla was one of the best Spanish keepers

90% of questions that players and managers get asked are asinine.
Oh absolutely, but it's incredible to take a really boring question ("how would it feel to win?" - er, pretty good, the **** do you want them to say?) and to turn it into something somehow even more stupid.

Also imagine finding that boring. Or 'cagey'. Clueless about the game if you can't enjoy two teams actually trying to play football
I think some people expect loads of goals or chance after chance for a game to be exciting. Which is of course not always the case as here, as while the goal isn't exactly being peppered both teams like you say are trying to play football, and doing a damn good job of it too.

It is a remarkably stupid question to basically be asking "what would it mean to stop another team winning it?" when I'm sure they're a hell of a lot more focused on, you know, wanting to win it for themselves ffs

Baffled people are finding this terrible. The tempo has been great.

So frustrating seeing lightning quick moves end in...that

Not a lot of power in the shot, but a good save

Why does he not just hit it

Looking forward to Triple H handing Harry Kane a commemorative WWE belt when it comes home.

Does anyone know where I can get whatever it is Evra is on?

Let's face it, this tournament was always going to a **** show one way or another with the pan-European stuff mixed with Covid. One or more teams were always going to get an advantage. It should have been hosted in one country, but that's UEFA for you.

Read an incredible quote about that the other week, something from the ref that I’d never seen before. Basically said he didn’t see because his view was blocked but he “knew” there must have been a foul because he would have expected the keeper to claim it otherwise.
I think that goal gets given if we aren’t up against the hosts. Not sure about the Argentina one
I saw that too in Four Four Two. And they said "why he was right all along." I hadn't actually seen the incident in years until I read that article, and it just annoyed me
keeper just flaps at the ball and gets a foul ffs.
I think most refs give it in fairness because keepers get ridiculous decisions, but I just cannot see anything Campbell or Terry do that's a foul.

Still think there's never a foul for the Campbell goal either tbf

Both teams looked pretty dreadful in both games iirc, like Rob said wouldn't read into it for either side

Of course, wasn't having a pop at Stones. The delayed Euro's, as I've said before was something that has aided England as you mention with several of the younger players getting an extra season of senior football and Phillips playing in the PL for the first time, although he did get called up when Leeds were in the Championship iirc, he's a better player now than he would've been 12 months ago.
There's a good half dozen that might well not have made the squad had the Euro's taken place as originally intended.
Phillips was called up in September, so we were in the PL but hadn't played a game yet because of the delayed season start. The extra year undoubtedly cemented his place in the euro squad, though Southgate had had his eye on him since just after the world cup and there was a suggestion he was possibly going to be in the March squad before covid buggered everything up.

Verratti is a top player and there aren't many around who can do what he does. But I think in a few years you'll look back and probably laugh at a Rice and Phillips midfield. Even more so if England win the whole thing. Because I can see Mount, Foden, Bellingham all becoming really good central midfielders. I think it's clear already Foden would be better off in central midfield for a Southgate-led England team
Think it's being exceptionally harsh to say we'll laugh at a Rice/Phillips midfield when they've had an outstanding tournament, Phillips especially. There's better midfields sure, but they were key components against Croatia and Germany (after a rough first 10 minutes.)

Yep. 60,000 in on Wednesday night too. I've been a little critical of Wembley in the past, the prawn sandwich brigade etc but it was fantastic in the Germany game and there's going to be even more in for the Denmark game. Should be roaring.
In fairness, for big games like FA cup finals and things the atmosphere has always been really good at Wembley. We've just not really had all that many big England games at Wembley, we've not struggled in qualifiers for ages for example. Was nice to have a brilliant atmosphere for the Germany game and I'm sure it will be great again on Wednesday.

Really loved how Southgate mentioned the other players who haven't been involved in his interview last night. The team spirit he's cultivated is undoubtedly his biggest strength, he makes every player feel valued even if they're not playing.
