Huge stat there about Turkey having 6 on yellows that could miss the semi if booked in this match.

Head says a Turkey win in a bad tempered cardfest is best outcome for England but my heart wants Dutch win so us or Verbruggen guaranteed to be in final.

Agreed. The ringleaders of the anti-Southgate brigade are probably the heads of the "bring Potter back" campaign. All performance, no result. If they were in charge of football they'd remove the goalposts and have it 90 minutes of passing. XG fetish.

These are the Potter groupies. Recognise any Southgate critics?

Oh sorry it's the pure luck theory Switzerland's 100 mile an hour Brazil-esque football wasn't enough

Eh? That was a very evenly matched game, where Switzerland got in behind us multiple times and mostly played appalling final balls / shots, where possession was equal, shots were equal, and where only one team was attacking at the end of the match (Switzerland). And you were accusing them of not trying to win for some strange reason.

OK then

Couldn't be more apt. Southgates young Lions roaring again. Absolutely bouncing here.

Absolutely outstanding. Bizarrely never felt in doubt. Other teams must have watched this and started planning to do everything possible to avoid going to penalties against us!

They're probably consoling themselves with the likelihood that they'll have at least 2 hours of football to avoid that scenario.

And they'll almost certainly get the chance to score first, so it's not all bad news. ;)

Phew - glad I didn’t watch the pens but well done England - we are not looking pretty doing this but at least we are doing it - you can’t argue with that 🤷🏻‍♂️

How can you refer to the team as “we” when you switch off before the penalties?

The Swiss could have won that game. There was nothing to choose between the sides over 2 hrs. Respect to them. We won because we were better in the pen shootout.

England worryingly reliant on individual brilliance. It rarely wins you trophies. It was great to see Luke Shaw play -he could be key for us.

Well I for one enjoyed the England game and am delighted by the result and for Southgate. A lot of humble pie being served up tonight around the country for sure. So many miserable England bastards out there tonight though, people desperate for us to lose because of the way we played previously. I don’t get it. Have some pride. We won, and we go through to another (yes another!!) semi final in last 4 years. It’s wonderful!
