Spain looking good again. 1-0 up at halftime. Could have had 4.
2 unbelievable saves in 2 minutes from Donarumma then let down by static defenders standing about admiring the view. Di Lorenzo wants stringing up.
No wonder he's ****ing raging.
These commentators man. Shut the **** up about the beer ffs.

Why did Bastoni not head the ball looked like he ducked.Quote:

Scenes
England qualify for last 16 due to Spain’s 1-0 win
Some finish for Italy seconds before end of the game.
Donnarumma must be player of the tournament at this point. Great save at a key moment against Albania, single-handedly prevented a hammering against Spain (8 saves!) and an unbelievable series of saves again yesterday. Switzerland Italy hard to call in the R16.Quote:

Can see Austria in one of the semi-finals.
Great performance from the Austrian team .
Top of the group is some achievement.
I hope a certain team are inspired and are totally fired up by this .
C'mon 🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮
Austria and Scotland almost play different sports at the moment.
So as it stands if England win their group tonight their route to the final is
Last 16 vs a 3rd placed team (hopefully Dutch but I can’t work it out at all)
Quarter final - Italy or Switzerland
Semi Final - Austria, 2nd place team from group F (possibly Turkey, winner of Group E (possibly Belgium) or a 3rd place team.
They have dodged France, Germany, Spain and Portugal until the final if they do win tonight. Typical
I'm a quarter Austrian so pretty chuffed with this result. :aok:
Amazing how these pundits seem happy to stick the knife in Southgate all the time.
They've four points, unbeaten, sure to qualify and reached the final last time to lose on pens.
I can think of one home nation who'd be pretty pleased with that!
What’s with Southgate referring to England as “we”?
Im desperate for Slovenia to win this, partly because i like Oblak and Sesko, but also to shut the commentators up about how England have got the best route to the final, which is disrespectful to a whole number of countries.
If he referred to them as “we” “we” …… they would be pish.Quote:

It's actually a remarkable achievement that so many England managers have managed to fairly consistently get their side to play incredibly dull football AND vastly underperform relative to the quality of their players. I don't know if it's a safety first mentality or what but it does my ****ing head in.
I think it’s simply tremendous.Quote:

It takes a certain kind of genius, take a group of unbelievably good players and make a poor team out of them.Quote:

England are guff…not really sure who will win this tournament, not sure any team has looked head and shoulders above anyone else. Don’t think it’s going to be Englands turn though….they are so slow.
I said that to my Wife, whats with the ****ing high pitch screeching !!Quote:

The play-acting is getting ridiculous. The Slovenian puts a hand lightly on Bellingham’s shoulder in the English box and he goes down in agony. Football’s becoming a farce.?
Mainoo brightened England up a wee bit but it's hideously slow from them.
A bit like Scotland it's almost as if people dismissed their relatively poor form coming into the tournament as something they could just leave behind when it started but it's carried into it.
Slovenia are so poor this is pretty much England versus traffic cones. Can't believe they're not a barrow load up. Even we'd have forced an own goal by now.
A feature of the modern game.Quote:

Oh well it's a reason I suppose although I'm sure you change your mind if Shankland was playing for Scotland 🤔Quote:
