I don't think we'll ever again be talking in glowing terms about Southgate, Oohm. Any manager that can get us to a final or win a major will go down in folklore. 3 games in and no goals conceded. And those games werent gimmes by any stretch. We're a bit down on ourselves but no team will relish going to Wembley. We seldom lose there. And like Bolton the 1-0 wins werent George Graham or Jose's Inter team they were us keeping the ball, dominating the play but struggling to really turn that into chances and ultimately goals.

Great pic, Pedro and for me especially emotive as my father used to work at James Brimelow at the top of the picture. I was often in there in the 50s and 60s playing with the old tryres and typewriters. They had another outlet back beyond the greyhound track where we always parked up to walk down to the match through the throng.

Only a couple of years after my first game in 1952 when my Father used to take me, I used to get the bus to the bus station in town and meet up with my school pals and then we would make that magnificent walk to the game with the crowds getting thicker and thicker - amazing memories.

I know I’ll be going against the hopes of our increasing Welsh contingent but I do hope Wales get stuffed by the Danes tomorrow!! I detest the Welsh almost as much as scousers. Sorry to see the jocks go out though, I was hoping they’d make the last 16 at least. That leaves England and how much do we want payback against the Germans for all those lucky penalty wins? I definitely think we’ve got the players, just not sure of the manager but I’ll have to go for another narrow win for us. I would of course love it to be on pens but I’m not sure my nerves would stand it?

Tournament feels like its staring again from today with no safety nets of 3rd place finishes.
I'd like to think the Welsh team got a bit giddy and carried away lasy time and wouldnt be as unprofessional to celebrate another teams loss like it was a victory for them. The perception is that everyone in UK outside England hate the English team, i watched the last world cup win we had in Wales and the pub was half with us half against(but no malice)
In 2010 we all thought theres no way this young German team can live with golden generation. I really think you could flip a coin on this one.

Can’t stand either of them wots, worked in Liverpool for a while and hated every minute of it and as for the Welsh, well I’ll not go there. Couldn’t be happier seeing them get tubbed tonight but should England succumb to the old enemy on Tuesday, it’ll be cricket for me until the new season starts, I have no interest in football for the sake of it and there’s nobody else I’d have any affinity with.

England v Germany
First half Germany have nothing to fear with Southgates line up Again, apart from a few touches from Saka and Sterling, nothing and Kane, I feel for him as his service is shocking, but the Germans have him In their pockets. Should have really gone for this with Grealish Mount Foden as they are so average it’s untrue I feel an opportunity lost to clean up in the first half

England 🏴 v Germany 🇩🇪
Second half
Sterling in their box, trips over his own feet and Germany go down the other end in a matter of seconds. Stones Phillips Rice and Tripper - shit scared of running forward with the ball in case they suffer vertigo - back back back side back side
Pickford our best player in the whole of the tournament- says it all really As you can guess, I’m not a Southgate fan, never have been and they’ve looking at extending his contract 61 minutes in and nowt to write home about, very early Evatt’esque

The football from England is not scintillating to watch, far from it...but it seems to be working. Four games in, no goals conceded. Credit to Southgate where credit is due. Living in Spain I get the feeling that the opinion of the media and the "man on the street" in regard to the national team is very similar to that of England. Lots of criticism about team selection, misfiring strikers, sideways football etc. The mood is changing however as both teams reach the quarter finals with very realistic possibilities of progressing further.

Must be hard for Spain fans to see such a poor squad when they had that generation. Can look at the wall chart and say these beat them, they'll win that one and they play them in the final and they should edge it. Its knockout football. No one can say Chelsea are the best team in Europe, they battled for 4th domestically, but are the Champions of Europe. On the flipside Madrid won it 3 times on the bounce so its not a luck lottery either. I think the next euros we will be better. Foden, Mount, Saka, Bellingham will all be senior players and cant be ignored My great worry now is taking this team away from the home fans, away from thier routines and asking them to play against a team they ought to beat. Its banana skin time but lets face it when we lost to Iceland it was deserved and our players didnt have a clue. This time they know what they've got to do and like Ian Evatts teams will find a way.
