I must admit the thought of drab England being in the final...hmm. It would be great for English football & English fans, but for football fans & the game I think not, crikey we'd never hear the end of it, statues of Southgate.
I really hope it'll be Netherlands v Spain, that would be a good final.

Watching England is like dace fishing with a barbless hook…..
It’s no fun, technically you are fishing but feck all is gonna end up in the net, and eventually a bigger fish is going to come along and its game over

What a goal by Yamal 
Edit, I'm constantly told how great the French team is, I get fed up hearing it, just like how great PSG were with MB, not!. Great game from the Spanish, well deserved.

He should've been banned for life.
I thought the injury time at the very end of the Spain v Germany match was a bit suspect.
It went on and on as if the ref wanted Germany to equalise,

They're all bent to some degree and, given his reputation, I would imagine that his decisions will be under such intense scrutiny that he will be looking to make the correct ones. He'd just get slaughtered otherwise. 🤞🤞

@ scozza, Zirksee got a little run out, not enough for any idea of potential.

I want us to win it but I think Spain would be the hardest draw. Either way, ain’t no easy games now

Agree re Turkey, that young lad is something else. Gakpo deserved that bit of luck for not giving up and chasing the ball down. Was a good end to the match. 2 wins on the trot not a penalty shoot out in sight, I'll take that 
Edit, according to the papers the Netherlands have only lost once in competitive football to England and if they get through Koeman wants Spain as they've already played France, not so sure myself, think I'd prefer France, I'd fancy Spain....hmm

More luck than anything. Turkey are a good side and a nice watch, attack, attack, how many chances last off!!!

Yessss

Not looking good :-( De Puy needs to come off Weghorst on, someone who will get behind the Turk back 5 DP just holds up play back to goal. When the wingers do get it there's no 1 in the middle and Gakpo is being marked out of the game.
Going to be a hard slog beating that Turkish defence.

They had their chances, to be fair they are a decent team. I agree though, we have not real outlets when pressed and we go deeper and deeper
Got to admit, some minerals Trent, not played and what a pen that was!
Palmer looks class and Luke Shaw made a difference too for me. When it opened up it was a bit more entertaining, thought it was going to end to end but we fizzled out a bit, legs had gone which is understandable
As much as I hate to say, it, international football is a different game to what we are used to watching

Were lucky towards the end with those few Swiss chances and hitting the bar.
Kane looked absolutely fu**ed!

Problem is as soon as the oppo get the ball we sit so deep. The Swiss were unlucky in the second half of extra time but for once we had 5 well taken pens.

If he'd done it earlier we might have looked worth a win...
Pleased for the players who put the penalties away.
But by God the football is pretty dire.
England are the new Greece?
