@MiketheSnow Today's George Graham?
It's funny how average players can make a big difference on the international stage. In the Netherlands Turkey match, it was Wout Weghorst. He changed the point of attack in the 2nd half where the turks weren't as comfortable dealing with his height and aerial balls/crosses across the face of goal, and it got the Netherlands home.
It's where someone like Harry Maguire would be handy for England. He'd be a nightmare at set piece for the Dutch if he were there, especially with the way the Dutch conceded their goal at the far post with all their little men defending there.
If only they had a tall bloke who can head the ball
Oh wait, Harry, you’re up son
Unfortunately he’s been mostly anonymous
He needs to find some of his Bayern form
Schnell, schnell

Cracking first half in the first SF
Three goals
End to end
Spain 2-1 France
-
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.

Spain best team at tournament. Would be more than deserved winners.

Youngest scorer too
Can’t see either record being broken

Hopefully that changes tonight
He’s due

Screamer
England fucking about with it
Siemens disposses Rice and then lets fly
Netherlands 1-0 England

That was a shocker against Bellingham
No way the ranga was going for the ball

Dirty cun*

Absolute joke of a decision
Penalty my arse
Great penalty take though from Kane
Netherlands 1-1 England
19 mins -
That’s the best half of football involving England I’ve seen
-
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 »

Fantastic finish
Netherlands 1-2 England
2 mins to go -
Watkins shows cane how to play centre forward.

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