As has been said, very impressed with Spain throughout the tournament.
What they seem to have got right is the balance in the team, not shoe-horning players in but instead picking the right players for the system
Can argue that that’s easier to do when they don’t have any real superstars who if left on the bench would cause headlines.

Individually they,ll have more players than the english starting 11 pep might sign.

If, IF, we get through tonight I fully think we'll beat Spain purely on the fact they've won all 6 of their games...how many teams win 7 on the bounce? Not very often is it, thats what I'm clinging too anyway!

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? 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. You’re probably right. Completely stoked for the upcoming 120 minutes of playing for the draw.

I think I must be gaining perspective/learning the joined vivre (if we are still allowed to have that) but I don’t really get that for England games or even County games since we got back in the FL (age is a factor in that no doubt on many levels).

Just got excited seeing the Stockport St George flag. Probably the most excitement all evening.

Doesn’t get much bigger. Neville’s just said it right, some of these players are worth 100m each individually- they’ve got to go out there and play tonight.

These brands with Rashford/Henderson/Grealish etc in their ads must feel well daft.

Very talented front 4 for the Netherlands there; we've been good defensively so far but we'll be tested tonight.
