What an amazing day of football. 2 games that on paper didn’t offer much but delivered pretty much everything. So so good

No coincidence either that we finally had some fans in the stadium, to what effect it had on the pitch - well, you can draw your own conclusions compared to the training match atmosphere of past 15 months

If Southgate wasn’t in charge I’d be genuinely excited that we could be weeks away from winning out first trophy in over 50 years.

In the 2018 WC Southgate literally delivered England’s joint-best finish at a tournament since 1966.

England have had much better managers on paper in previous tournaments and delivered a hell of a lot less.

Great result that for the Swiss. Came back from a two goal deficit and showed true grit. Just shows you, never give up (wish our team of bottlers could learn from it).

Switzerland haven’t been to a WC quarter final since 1954 and this is their first one ever at a euros.

Our team of bottlers literally made the semi finals of the last tournament we played in.
 
What a day of football, unbelievable scenes. Loved the assistant trying to stop the Swiss players from celebrating and the keeper telling them to stop. When they were finally able to celebrate you get great pictures like the one above.

Onto today, I would take a boring one nil win. We have to believe but Southgate HAS to pick the right team, and by that the right midfield. We need to go at them, try and control possession. I would love to see a midfield of Rice, Foden, Grealish then have a front 3 of Kane, Sterling (although he has been poor he has shown he has a goal in him) & one of Sancho or Rashford. If he were to play a back 3 then have DCL up with Kane.

we got to the semis playing a far easier run in than usual. We lost three games at the World Cup and looked absolutely awful. We also played for a draw against Scotland. If we played attacking football like we should with the players we’ve got we’d do a lot better.
 
Incredible stuff last night. What an ending with Mbappe missing the decisive pen as well.

That's France, Portugal & Holland all out at the last 16 stage. One of us and Germany will also be out as well after tonight.
