This by the way is the type of stuff Southgate deserves his credit for. Whilst having to need the shootout in the first place is disappointing, this level of preparation makes it no fluke that the players delivered so well. Was also clear to see all players had a very strong regimented preparation for each penalty, including some form of deep breath/breathwork before running up to take the penalty. Might seem silly to some but it’s probably the difference between a win and a loss. ”He” probably was Foden, then? www.football365.com/news/alexander-arnold-caught-letting-slip-that-england-team-mate-didnt-want-to-take-penaltyFoden had been subbed off before the end of ET then hadn't he? I think for TAA

Indeed, Bodensee. What does the great German public think about Germany's performance at the Euros? Did they feel Nagelsmann and die Mannschaft did a good job? They think he's done a good job and they were unlucky to lose as they feel they were better than Spain. They are up in arms about the not given handball from Cucurella, even worse it was an English ref who didn't give it. Some idiot has actually started an online petition that the game should be replayed! England has really got bad press here for the way they are playing and a lot are surprised we can actually score penalties. Ah, Bodensee, I can see you are linguistically torn between using the German (and rest of mainland Europe) way of classing a footy team as a singular noun and hence using 'has' ('England has'), but then reverting to the anglophone plural 'for the way they are playing' for the team, rather than the singular noun. Here endeth today's lesson.

You're fibbing. You've done this before. Just stated stuff which is so stupendously outrageous just to be the contrarian. I don't know if you enjoy contrarianism or like to be argumentative or the odd one out. There isn't one single England fan whom, if we win a major tournament will turn their back on the celebration and say "I wish we'd lost 4-3 in an exciting game". Not a single one. And you can add French, Spanish and Dutch people to. This is just absolute nonsense. You know it, we know it. A bit harsh that BM. We aren’t all the same. I can see Gibbo’s viewpoint. He has also managed to avoid blaming Jim Gannon for it, which must be a first!🥳🤣🎉 We aren't all the same. But not one English person who follows football will decline to celebrate England winning the only piece of silverwear in most people's lifetimes and that includes Gibbo. Not one. I absolutely guarantee it with every atom in my body. People may say "bwah we were boring" or "we were shit" or "Southgate's bobbins" but - NOT CELEBRATING England winning the competition...nah I'm calling absolute, 100% bullshit on that.

They were unlucky with the penalty shout as most refs would have given it but Spain were much the better side, Germany played well against Scotland but they were far from convincing after that.

interesting stat, that there hasn't been a goal direct from a free kick this tournament.

I don’t think I’m making this up… but every time that England have played in a tournament semi-final County have been promoted the following season. It’s happened 5 times. This is the 6th semi final. Promotion next year?? 😬
It sort of works but it always overlooks the Euro 68 semi-final, think if you phrase it as 'major tournament' then arguably true.
