That's just lived experience of watching a lot of US Sport, and having been in the US when major tournaments have been on in the past.

Their commentators/pundits treat the audience like idiots when it's not one of their big four.

Interesting that the ITV take is a lot less ebullient than the BBC about England, Neville pointing out it was a ‘struggle’ but they ‘deserve credit’ for getting through. I think the BBC have been told to be more positive as an editorial policy.

I watched the first half and couldn’t believe what bxxxxxx Lineker and Co were spouting at half time. Creaming their pants over an another pretty average 45min performance. Definitely been told to spin it more positively for some reason, if that’s so, why bother having people analysing the game. Never bothered watching the rest of the coverage so not sure what the end of game analysis was like.

I have no trouble separating the team from the fans and boy do the have some jingoistic part time supporters in amongst some decent football fans that I know, thankfully the bellends only come out for big events to wave their flags and sing the UK national anthem.

I dunno. Truthfully I'm glad guys like TAA and Saka scored. Abuse would've been vile otherwise.

I do not find Phil Foden hard to dislike, though. A diving, moaning rodent. Bellingham has the best PR in the world. Its incredible. Saka been twice as good this tournament.

Kyle Walker is another bellend.

Think some of Southgates decisions are utterly bizarre and straight up wrong despite them still scraping though. Should've taken another left back, should've sorted his left wing problem months ago and Ben White should be playing every minute considering his club form. Crazy not to apologise and get him back.

I think the attacking players are spot on, Mendes was also exceptional in an attacking sense so thats fair too for the quarter finals in exclusion. Over the whole tournament ive been really impressed by Kadioglu at right back for Turkey and Dani Carvajal but Kounde,Theo Hernandez and Saliba would all be in my team of the tournament, Frances defence is so strong. Id have ****e in front of them too, hes been faultless. Gakpo and Guler would play (not sure where Gulers position actually is, i saw him described as a false 9), but both have been exceptional going forward. Loads of good performances in goal but ill go with Donnarumma who was ridiculous. Weirdly noone really jumps out from Spain despite being the best team, maybe the collective is better than the sum of their parts?

I think Rodri, Rice and ****e have all been very good. An argument for any of all of them. Nico Williams has caused havoc too.

Think Saliba has been excellent. Probably looking at him as the best in the world over the last year.

The French defensive unit has been superb.

Spain have taken a lot of plaudits so far as they have been the slickest attacking outfit but you could argue at this point that it’s the team that finds a way through that French defence that will win this tournament.

Even when they have been carved open their goalkeeper has been there to bail them out.

As per England - sometimes good teams get breaks along the way too.

And unlike England, they’ve played a few teams of substance, where the shut outs have been admirable.

I was going to say that too, Mike Maignan is part of the defence and when world class players like Leao or Bernardo Silva broke through, he made two great saves. We’ll see what happens against Spain.

Switzerland were decent. Well organised and good defensively but they aren't a top level team. Scotland done pretty well against them and we were one of the worst teams in the tournament.

England could win the whole thing but they've been incredibly lucky in the draw. IMO it's pretty unlikely they'd have won it if they were in the other side of the draw.

France on the other hand have already played Holland, Belgium, Portugal and have to get past Spain tomorrow. The way England have played at tournament, only not impossible, I don't think they'd have got through that run of games.

England can’t play against sides that sit in. Holland won’t do that and I think that’ll suit England. If England get in front, I think they’ll be comfortable.

I know they’ve been getting through but I keep expecting a performance from them and it hasn’t come. If that continues tonight, they’re in trouble as it is a step up.
