Looks like a game worthy of the final.
I wouldn’t back England to beat either of these teams. Still, you never know.

Not easily but they have alot of quality throughout the team but there isnt much balance but they are defensive Spain are hungry and full of energy. Maybe dont have the squad the french have but there is balance

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.
was euro 68 not a 'major tournament'? Just looking for some fact for work in the morning, but don't want to be proved wrong!!

So happy for Spain; they’re an absolute joy to watch. Such fluidity, pace and confidence on the ball. Yamal, Williams, Olmo, Rodri, Morata, Nacho - the list of magnificent performances tonight goes on and on. And two goals fit to win any game.
If by some miracle we make it to the final they’ll demolish us, of course, but so would France. So glad to see Deschamps’ reactive anti-football defeated, and in some style.

Never change a winning team, could disrupt the side. Who says Carvajal should be back in the side after tonight?

Think it was a minor tournament then, 8 qualified and played home and away quarter finals, then the 4 winners went to Italy for the tournament which only took 6 days. Should've been 4 days, but the final was a draw and weirdly they had a Monday night replay not penalties.

Yeah they were really good. The way they controlled the game towards the end was brilliant. Will take some stopping in the final.

Who says Carvajal should be back in the side after tonight? 38 year old Navas was only in because Carvajal was suspended, he also limped off.

Amidst all the Spain love, am I the only one who thinks it'd be hilarious if we stunk out the final (if we get there) then won 1-0 with an 88th minute winner that goes in off someone's arse?

Having said that i still felt the french looked more likely to equalise than they did getting the third goal to make it safe. They might have exciting match winners in their side but are beatable in a one off game.

More likely that Morata’s replacement scores a hatrick, after he was injured by a security guard during the celebrations. I think penners have been selected as our route to winning the semi and then the final if we get there.
