Dont mention the war, I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it.

Both teams were playing a lot of sideways and backward passes but for me the Germans looked that bit more dangerous and why they took Werner off I dont know because he was a constant threat playing off the shoulder.
I would have taken Kane off even before our 1st goal as I thought he was doing nothing, so the phrase 'Oh yea of little faith's springs to mind, and now he has scored it should push his confidence on now.
Great to see Grealish come on and make his mark, hopefully we will do the business on saturday whoever we play. UTM
Philips not great.
I was clammering for kane off at half time for more speed up front. Very frustrated with slowness of passing forward from England. But huge credit Southgate for picking a side that frustrated Germany, rode their luck with a couple of great saves and a bad miss but this will always happen against the top teams. We kept a good shape and eventually took our chances well with a 4th clean sheet.
Hype now is a danger and the emergence of a so called easy route to the final. If the squad can stay grounded and, crucially, up the tempo of their forward passing, they have a great chance of making the final. But it is also very likely that they could become complacent, drop that extra gear that makes a difference at this level, even against teams like Ukraine and you find yourself against a wall of defenders and facing penalties or a 0-1 defeat.
Keep focused, believe in no **** about themselves and work hard on their tempo passing and we have a good chance of a final. Anything less and no surprise to me if we **** up
Just to add, seriously well done young Lions on beating Germany. No mean feat in the knockouts and great to be leaping around in a pub once again. Proud of our lads
Thoughts with scum by the way, driving back sober but hopefully full of history making joy of the day. Hope you've got a coldie in the fridge to walk into lad
