Sly

No Rodri?

He hadn’t got going in this game yet.

Surely that’s a yellow for Williams?

The midfield haven’t done a lot. We are struggling with their press.

He has, however he’s the one player that can generate moments of magic.

He just backs in, always has.

Nothing changes

Is he the most disliked player on the pitch?

It’s fairly even so far.

Olmo booked for kicking Rice.

Luke Shaw has done more in this game than Trippier did all tournament.

Carvajal tactical foul.

What on earth is Foden doing!

Yes, more Spain pressing and England appear to be sitting on until the final third.

Doubling up on Saka to stop him coming inside. Walker needs to aid him.

I’m not sure Southgate trusts Trent as a defender

We’ll all agree to disagree then and watch the game! Let’s get going.

It doesn’t have the same quality though. It’s diluted by average teams from Asia, Africa and Oceania. Average European teams like Denmark, Slovenian, Slovakia etc are better than the likes of Ghana, Australia, Korea etc.

Brazil and Argentina aside, for me, this has a higher quality of opposition throughout in my opinion.

I still think this tournament is more difficult to win than the World Cup. If we win this, it will be such a great, great achievement.

Are we counting La Tournoi as a legitimate trophy now? It was a great competition in fairness.

100%!!!

I’d really like Rice to score one of those thunderbolts really early on.

Pressure is for tyres

If you were to choose a XI from both squads it would be 75% English. However Spain are a more effective team. We will win this though. Bellingham to go through the gears and we’ll pick them apart with the space they will give us once we beat the press. Let’s just hope old T-Rex arms doesn’t get beat from range as per.
