I have never heard more horseshit in my life than the commentators on this match. And listening to them unsuccessfully trying to backpedal after telling us how it would be the end of civilisation for us to be beaten 1-0 has been delightful.

It’s a cup competition, anyone can lose to anyone. We weren’t getting thrashed, they’d just got an early goal and shut us out well.

And now we’re winning, and they’ve got to throw away all the nasty things they’d written down to say.

Changed your tune, haven't you?
Not really my friend! :)

England had been abject for the entire game, Southgate's clueless. Dixon's just said that England don't deserve to be in the lead.

But we're winning and I love England (despite hating Southgate) so you get a pass on this occasion! ;)

This reminds me of Brazil in 2014, stumbling through the tournament against poor opposition. Only to lose 7-1 against the first decent side they faced.

Switzerland should have more than enough to beat us. If not, the Dutch or Austrians.

Except that, whatever happens now, England were one minute away from going out the tournament due to utter ineptitude.

They didn't wait till the 93td minute to bring Toney on because they knew what was about to happen. Utterly bewildering.
