Loving the contrast in the Spain vs Georgia game.
A breathe of fresh air compared to England.
Speed, passion, skill - both teams have it bucketloads.
Georgia beating Portugal was superb and good to see Ronaldo losing his st and spitting his dummy out!

Just because I disagree that these are world class players doesn't make my opinion any less than yours. Engage in debate - prove me why tonights performance shows they are world class? Engage, don't just berate someone who doesn't share your POV
It’s not really a question that can be argued. Kane, Bellingham and Foden are coveted by some of the best managers in the world. They play at the highest level, and despite these indisputable facts you’re unable to separate your dislike for them, from the real issue. But that’s fine. You really don’t have a clue.
Do not feed the troll.

Exactly, Scott. Ignoring them is the best policy, anything else is just prolonging the boring st.

To be fair they are they only players in this team who could be in world class discussions. This issue is they haven't been world class for England, and looked pretty average in this tournaments

only time harry was where he should be, the ball broke and he scored. funny that. i don't want to see him telling walker to get out of the way so he can pick the ball up at right back. he needs to stay up there.

foden. if you're going to play him wide left, leave him on the bench as you won't get anything like the best out of him. when he's in the middle, all of a sudden he makes sense. only option to fit him in there is bellingham next to rice and a.n.other on the left.

saka at left back? why not. trippier isn't working there. lets palmer play wide right,

mainoo looked good in spells. probably staying as rice's midfield partner.

pickford needs ritalin.

Well, I missed the England match live, managed to avoid the score and I’ve just finished watching the recording.
Brilliant management, excellent tactics and a tremendous performance with every player knowing their role. It was simply never in doubt that Southgate’s plans would succeed.

Right up to the 95th minute when we scored and we’ve then gone on to spoil it all in extra time by winning the match. Better luck next time Gareth, I’m sure you’ll give it a good shot.

Spain are looking bloody brilliant. They'd run rings around England based on our Euro 24 performances thus far.

England have the players to play the same way, but for some reason they won’t do it. Hardly any sideways or backwards passes

there's loads, but then really quick transitions. the nearest we have is flapper banging the ball as far as he can straight to the other keeper or CBs.

Spain looking very lively and coherent.
Fair play to Georgia, died with their boots on.
