You do appreciate that winning or losing via the lottery of penalty shootouts doesn't make you a great manager or otherwise? What it does mean is that Southgate's side, tactics and substitutions weren't able to outscore Switzerland in over 2 hours of football. Yes, they're through and they...

And we're off...

Ages of England players who took the penalties: Palmer - 22 Bellingham - 21 Saka - 22 Toney - 28 TAA - 25 Old heads on young shoulders.

Perfect penalties from England. Fair play to all 5 of them and Pickford.

Toney probably backed himself to score.

Saka's penalty has a bit of the Stuart Pearce moment.

Pickford channeling Emi Martinez...and it works!

At least we're taking first...

Further and further back we sit, surrendering the advantage, no substitutes made. Same old Southgate story. Every single time. Both depressing and utterly predictable.

Quite so. During 2022, there were 5 Secretaries of State for Education - Zahawi, Donelan (2 days tenure), Cleverley, Malthouse and Keegan. Other than their own schooling, I don't believe that any of them had a background in education. Having been an educationalist since the mid 90s, I...

Having turned 65 in March, he might've lost a yard of pace although his touch is probably still decent. :salute:

Wouldn't happen in Germany.

Spain 2 (1) v 1 (0) Germany 1st G = 27 YC = 4 RC =0 VAR = 1 Portugal 1 (0) v 2 (1) France 1st G = 23 YC = 4 RC =0 VAR = 1 England 2 (1) vs (0) 0 Switzerland *** 1st G = 18 YC = 4 RC =0 VAR = 1 Netherlands 2 (1) v 1 (0) Turkey 1st G = 21 YC = 4 RC =0 VAR = 1

I've just finished my breakfast. Going well so far.

Just turned 31, Kirby will bring some real quality and creative guile in attack. She's had her injury and illness challenges in the past, but made 21 WSL appearances last season. A statement signing.

How many seats will the Tories get? With the benefit of an impartial outsider looking in, nothing other than electoral obliteration is on the cards. After the Truss/Kwarteng mini-budget, the Conservatives are no longer seen as the party of fiscal responsibility by the electorate. Consistent...

We may need another poll later this evening just in case anyone's changed their minds from this afternoon.

And she's done it! Breaks again to take the 3rd set and match! 6-3 5-7 6-3. Brighton's Sonay Kartal into Round 3!!! :)

Having had 4 points to make it 5-2, it's now 1 set all. Hopefully Kartal can get it back in the decider. Edit....and she can! Gets a big net cord to break and go 3-2 up. Now 4-2.
