England at the Euros 2024

[itsme]

Much better lineup I'm more opptermistic than I have been in previous games

[BackOfTheNet]

It's been better, but not by much. Mainoo looking OK, no shots on target though...

[west stand oap]

Yes a little better, would be better still if somebody ejected the bloke with that bloody annoying drum.

[Tabasco Kid]

Pickford seeing too many back passes for my liking, one short corner went back to him. Mainoo with some nice touches, and Konsa with some excellent tidying up.
Kane again looking isolated. Lets see what happens in the next 30 minutes.

[Bingers]

Never in doubt, still unbeaten.

[Tabasco Kid]

A big lack of of peachy crosses, for anybody to get a head on, unlike the swiss who showed how to whip them in, albeit with some whoeful finishing.
I felt that the midfield was again flat, slow and negative, too much attention payed towards our sweeper/keeper. Konsa had an excellent game before he took that knock.
For once, five excellent penalties were taken. We could play s***, and still win this. Who knows?

[Lizard68]

Well done England. The performance was much better and a great set of penalties.

[Winslow Lee]

We could play s***, and still win this. Who knows?

Same goes for France who have been as bad if not worse!.

[itsme]

I would say we were lucky but that's the theme for the tournament for us maybe it is the year it comes home

[tcobb]

Yeah really lucky    What game were you watching, you sound like a typical depressing England fan, more likely you've never got off your backside to even watch a game.

[DavCobb]

The most frustrating thing is that we only come to life when we need to score. A bit like many a Cobblers side. Great win though and great pens. Quite a skill to hit the ball without looking at it.
Definitely anyone’s but I’d go for Spain at this point.

[Winslow Lee]

At a time when promising young players are cherry picked from youth teams by premier league clubs, it’s great to see Toney, a player that came through and I got to see wearing the cobblers shirt contributing for England at a major tournament.

[west stand oap]

That is the best set of 5 penalties I have seen in a competition. Fortunately the Swiss had not got their shooting boots on when presented with those late chances but an improved England performance.

[Terryfenwickatemyhamster]

Like you know anything about international football.

One of my teams is still in it.

[Bingers]

One of my teams is still in it.

Long may that continue.

[west stand oap]

Since the turn of the century we have played the Netherlands 9 times and won 1.

[DavCobb]

I think last night demonstrated that tonight is pretty irrelevant. 

More than happy for this to be brought back up after the weekend if required!

[west stand oap]

Spain certainly look well ahead of us, last nights game should have been the final.

[Bingers]

As we build up our expectations for today's game, as much as we would really enjoy to give someone a good tonking, remember that we are unbeaten in the tournament so far and if it stays that way to 14th July, we have a really good* chance of winning the whole thing.

Still applies.

[itsme]

We are due a good performance tonight surely
