      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.

      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.
