Pleased for Henderson there.

Thought he did really well when he came on. Assured and always looked to play forward.

We moan about GS.

But boy his football is light years ahead of the Hodgson and McLaren versions.

Respect.

It wasn't though.

GS had to learn we're a bit shite and need to approach tournament football with that in mind.

The results are there for all to see.

Let's have this right, he's the greatest England manager bar Alf Ramsey

We do seem to have settled into this gameplan that we have decided to play at this tournament.
We seem to be much more of a team, confident and composed over most of the 45 minutes.
Playing like this, if we were playing one of the supposed better sides, they would struggle against England, it seems we are improving as the tournament goes on and that is how you win these things.

Yep. Can't believe anyone was complaining after that 1st half. We were playing against a bank of 5 and 3 through most of that half and still looked really dangerous when we turned it on.

According to TV schedules its ITV

Said for a while that, given a couple of years, this will be the best team England has ever produced. We've not had such quality in such quantity.

I'm also one of the Southgate fanboys- not because he is the best tactician, but because his teams like him. And that is half the battle.

That said, this tournament is still going to be really difficult. Denmark will open us up more, and if we do reach the final Italy have the strongest team (albeit with a similar set up). Spain have quality too.

But this is nice to see. You can only beat who is put in front of you. And England did the job.

Kane 1 behind Lineker now in tournaments.

A World Cup semi-final and a Euro semi-final.

Is there a Golden glove award? Five clean sheets in a row.

That’s what Henderson does, a wealth of experience in mopping up danger and he’s instinctively always forward thinking.

Imho Phillips was ball watching, he couldn’t get into the first half.

I thought Rice upped his game and was outstanding.

Our very strong subs bench is also a huge plus.

Maguire’s single handedly conquering the ancient Mediterranean.

Last summer the Greek Islands, now Rome.

So far we’ve won the group, scored 8, conceded none, beaten Germany, won a quarter final 4-0 and made the semis of a major tournament.

I don’t see any room for negativity now - this has been the pinnacle of post-1966 England tournament performance and massive credit has to go to Gareth Southgate and the whole England set-up.

We’ve passed every test so far, the next one is Denmark and a step-up from anything we’ve faced so far in my opinion (including Germany), but this England team has no reason to fear anyone. Look at our record so far - who would want to face a team that literally doesn’t concede goals?

 

[darkwolf666]

I have a mate who’s an England fan, and he says Kane’s shitehouse - ****ing idiot!

 

[Sorrel]

Well, that was beautiful.

 

[KZNSeagull]

First team to not concede a goal in their first 5 matches of the Euros finals

 

[Justice]

I’d have dropped Kane for him, now watch Kane score a hat trick. Not holding my breath though, the lazy cheat.

For England 7 clean sheets in a row which is a record, 2 semis, nations league final, not bad for a limited manager
