Netherlands vs England - Wednesday, 10th July @ 20:00

[RoboFox]

Kane is a burden on this team.

 

Couldn’t believe my eyes when Mainoo was begging for a runner on the defender’s shoulder and Kane came to the ball despite already being about 4 yards away.

That doesn’t sound super man, it just won’t aga-do

Best England half of the tournament so far, by a country mile. But still level and no doubt the Dutch will up their game in the second half, so need to keep up the pressure.

Foden reminds me a bit of Gazza when he’s on it 

Funny I was thinking the same about Bellingham

Doo doo doo, Ezri Konza 

[Aus Fox]

Best half of the tournament for England by a long way, there looks to be a purpose to the attack and we look hungry for more. Almost like going a goal behind was the best thing that could happen to us.

Foden, Mainoo and Saka outstanding. Only change is make is bringing Shaw on for Trippier.

As for the penalty, I think that’s a foul anywhere else on the pitch, studs are up in a dangerous position and contact is made late. Foul all day long for me.

All he does is score goals 

To be fair to him, he’s scored a hell of a lot of them - look at last season, at a new club, in a different country. 

[Daggers]

Another match where a post-party Vardy would piss all over Kane’s contributions.

I’m still struggling with the penalty .. Dumfries put his foot up to block the shot and Kane kicked him on his follow through … Dumfries did not try to tackle impede or foul Kane .. Kane kicked him 

Late and studs out

First time I heard Unkel say one thing and VAR decided another. Slovakia or Slovenia def not getting that penalty.

 

The luck on Southgate is unreal—another semi, another freebie pen.

[fazzyfox]

Be interesting to hear the pundits verdict on the pen. Just how do I tune in to the Dutch TV channel

Watching Wales is like someone's assembled a super group from the Bala Eisteddfod and told them they can only to play Max Boyce covers.

Bellingham at his best reminds me more of Zidane

Can’t see it though the only way he won’t play is if he is injured. Will be like Ronaldo just play for the sake of playing him even at 40 

Sadly I think you're probably right

I'm not going to lie this sounds ****ing brilliant. 

 

I'd rather watch this than most football matches. 

 

[martyn]

Midfield looks so much more fluid, we were overrunning them in there from about minute 10-35 hence Koeman bringing on a midfielder when Depay had to be subbed.

 

Hopefully it can be sustained 2nd half.

[Finnegan]

For the record @Trav Le Bleu watching Wales is actually just like watching Black Lace.

You're so Welsh

Wrighty's off his head. Embarrassing to claim that's a legitimate penalty decision

The revisionism begins 

 

By kick off of the final, Southgate will be the greatest English coach since Busby.

Ian Wright just said what I said. That will do for me

[DennisNedry]

Trippier a bit of a weak link.

 

Shaw should be playing imo.

 

I'd also love Toney or Watkins for Kane.
