OK, I'll admit someone other than Dick Head CAN start a Match Thread after all...

 

[Weststander]

The lucky sods who’ve got England s/f tickets.

It’s going to be some atmosphere.

 

[Dick Head]

Well, that should keep Michael Gove off of tomorrow's front pages.

 

[rogersix]

anyone know who took the corner for henderson's goal?

 

[studio150]

Best performance on a neutral venue since the 3-0 win over Poland at Mexico 1986?

 

[Machiavelli]

I'm 52, and that was the best performance from an England team that I've seen.
Holland 96, Germany 01, Belgium 90 don't quite make it
They can turn things on and off when they want to. They conserved their energy for over half of that game. And that game was a QF.

I've actually enjoyed the BBC pundit line up tonight.

Mount. Mount is a stunning player.

That was a great night, I stayed up late on a weekday to see the emergence of the world class duo of Beardsley and Lineker save our tournament.

Loving this, loads of time given, rather than the old fashioned token 10 minutes. The BBC have finally cottoned on to football being preferred to the zzzzzz news.

Ian Wright would’ve made it even better.

 

[beorhthelm]

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.

yea, but apart from that, what have we done eh?

You reckon he's finally jumped on the bandwagon?

 

[Dave the OAP]

Shaw was immense

 

[bhafc99]

Fookin’ brilliant!! Fantastic atmosphere, no idea what it sounded like on TV, but it was a great night!

 

[Weststander]

Shaw was immense

Far and away his best game, finding his range.

Last night we used the red button function for the commentary, and got Zippy and Bruce. Top quality.

sounded great on tv!

 

[dstanman]

We moan about GS.

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

Respect.

Wait until Potter manages England, Southgate will join the Hodgson and McLaren club

Beardsley and Lineker. Doubt we'll see a front two too often. Sure we won't see one as good as that.
