    Spain did enough. They will be tough to beat. Mbappe with a great chance to equalise but fluffed it.

      Spain really know how to up the tempo when they need a goal and slow it down and keep the ball when they're ahead. France had a few chances but never really opened them up. That Lamine Yamal looks useful, last game as a 16 year old. Apparently he is youngest player to play a major tournament semi-final (taking Pele's record) and Jesus Navas is the oldest.

        Absolutely superb game, England or Netherlands are going to have to find another gear to compete in the final.

        Both France & Spain looked twice as quick on the ball.

        To be fair, France have been slow until now, so anything is possible.

            Youngest scorer too

            Can’t see either record being broken

                        England look good but can’t score. Don’t think that was a penalty really but apparently is according to laws. Cane is a real passenger the way England play. Foden is having a very good game. As the French pronounce it « Feel Fodin »

                                England keeps finishing with a better 11 than the starting side.

                                  Now there's a surprise, but well done England, Southgate finds a way (luckily or otherwise) again to get his team deep into a major comp. Now just to win one...

                                    Hope we get a better ref for the final. This guy wasn’t that accurate without favouring either of the sides. A classic example was stones clearly heading it out and he called goal kick rather than corner. That sort of thing.

                                      Yep, that highlighted how ineffective Kane has been.

                                      A repeat of the Women's WC final. I am expecting the same result.

                                        Just with that move for the goal, Watkins showed what England have been missing. Someone who runs, who shows for the ball and is a threat - a real striker's goal when England spent most of the second half not looking like they wanted to score.

                                          Fabulous winner by Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins. England owes a lot of gratitude to Unai Emery for turning Watkins from a frustrated bench player under Steven Gerrard into a world-class goal scorer.
