England - Lee Carsley Takes The Reins

[RTM08]

Well that was unexpected.

[G Somerset Rover]

SIXTEEN years old.

What an absurd goal for a 16 year old. Shades of that Rooney goal in terms of properly announcing himself on the world stage.

[Tom]

Truly absurd, I’ve never seen anything like it at this level

[Silas]

Now they've equalised, surely you take Navas off here.

He'll cost them the game. Don't even know what other options they have, but on a yellow, at 39 years old, getting rinsed by Mbappe, any decent manager makes the brave decision to change it early.

What a talent

Jesus Christ, what a game this is.

supercharged footy going on tonight

[RoverDom]

We're bollocksed if it ends up as a Spain England final. 

[RTM08]

That Yamal goal completely flipped the momentum of this game. Spain barely looked in it up to that point. 

[roverandout]

France are massively overhyped.  Said this at the beginning of the tournament.  They rely massively on mbappe

Said it the other day, either of these teams mullers whoever comes out the second semi.

Not a chance.  France are nowhere near as good as people make out. Spain on the other hand will smash us 

[DE.]

Spain are so much better than us that they're practically playing a different sport entirely. Watching them play in this tournament has been a genuine pleasure.

We should have beaten then at the last world cup and they were playing much better then.  Then again so were we

[matt83]

I felt all 4 sides in this half of the draw would make mince meat out of us. IF get past the Dutch somehow it wouldn’t be close.

I couldn't believe they didn't review the yellow, seen players sent off for a lot less.

No-one is making mince meat of England under Southgate, if you went 2 nil down he would start bringing on Defenders.

if we meet in the final,spain are enough to put southgate into therapy,there is no way he`ll be able to come up with a plan to contain them other than 11 men behind the ball for 90 minutes

our manager is our biggest handicap,as someone memorably quoted the other night,he`s so risk averse he wears a life jacket in the bath,was a fantastic quote that!!!!!!!!!!!
