    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.

      But Cane's a much better Openside Flanker.

                On the corners, this is where VAR should intervene as goals have been scored from corners that should have been goal kicks. The TV replays confirm which player had the final touch almost immediately.

                  It was an interesting game - great first half but mainly because the Dutch got their formation wrong and England always had a man over at the edge of the box. Bellingham, Foden, Saka were pulling the strings and it looked like England had to get a 2nd. Then Koeman took off Malen and put on an extra midfielder and suddenly the space wasn't there. Second half became more cagey and without looking particularly dangerous, the Dutch were in the ascendancy and creating set pieces. Thought Southgate left it too late with his subs but as against Slovakia, he has the midas touch.

                  England have a chance in the final, Spain can be put under pressure in the same way as any other team. The issue will be getting hold of the ball though and England might need to set up more defensively to avoid being sliced up by Spain. So Spain slight favourites but hopefully it is a good final.

                    It's coming home! (to Madrid most likely).

                      If England can send it to penalties then they don’t have to rely on team play only their individual abilities, which there is a lot of depth.

                      Will be interesting

                        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.

                        @sparky Agreed mate!

                        If in doubt, get the Aston Villa players in!

                          In a tight, tense game the superior ball skills of the Spanish will see them home.

                                      I had never heard of that song until it was sung in a bar following the semi. Now I am seeing references to it everywhere.
