England v Ukraine (3rd July, 8pm, Rome)

[Bert]

Come on England! Unbelievable chance to progress to the semis. You’d have snapped anyone’s hand off if this tie was offered ore tournament. Come

on! 

[Koke]

Should beat these quite comfortably . They looked alright in the group stages and a bit okay against Sweden. But nothing to lose sleep over. 

[deejdeej]

IF we win, would we play the semi on the Wednesday? Need to book it off work in case 

[Vacamion]

 

The media will have England having won this game before a ball is kicked.

 

Good.  For once.

 

Now let's play like a superior team.  Let's stuff the Ukraine and ROAR LIKE LIONS.

 

(I'm sober, I promise )

Semis. Too swift.

[spacemunky]

Must win.

[Fox42]

These lot are basically the Eastern European Leeds United. Always concede, exciting to watch, high energy football. Should be entertaining.

Will win.

I think we need the same back 5 again, but ideally with a sweeper in behind for extra security.

 

Then Henderson, Rice and Phillips holding.

 

Chilwell as a deep lying left mid, just to snuff out the threat of their right side and support Shaw.

Tournament football. If your suggested set up leads to a win, I'll take it.

If we get through this, and we play Denmark in the semi finals, I am going to support our captain.

[Brainy]

Quite mad that either ourselves or a "minnow" will be in the final

The only chance to see a final in our lifetime? I mean, come on. I'm finding it hard to cheer on this borefest but I would like to see England in a final.

[RoboFox]

I recall everyone thinking England would piss the Iceland fixture five years ago. 

 

Complacency is something they've learned about the hard way. Let's hope they've remembered that lesson.

[KingsX]

You’re all so confident 

 

While Southgate clearly sold his soul at midnight at the crossroads  …  are you sure he made the right deal?

 

 

 

“I offered you a lifetime of pushover draws … I didn’t say a damned thing about silverware!”

Only thing that can stop us now is being on ITV with Sam Whatsisface.

I'm a bit drunk. Kasper has given me way more joy than my country has in the last five years.

Harry Kane is pleased about that 

[HighPeakFox]

I'm watching the highlights on ITV, highly amused by the co-comms saying that Kane's first touch for that chance he stuffed was excellent.

[Dan]

If you were offered a quarter final tie with Ukraine, to get into a semi against Denmark or Czech Republic, pre-tournament, you would've laughed your head off.

 

What an opportunity it is.

 

It won't be a walkover. They will have a big support there (and I think ours today made a big difference) whilst we're still being clowns about restrictions and travel. The Italians will all want us out as well, knowing that they would have virtually an away game in the final if we both made it.

 

But I think we'll do it. 2-0 to England.

[VLC86]

Going to be so upset when we **** this up.

[Guest Col city fan]

What a chance we have this year

[KrefelderFox666]

Walkover. That game tonight was dreadful.

 

Actually, 1-0 Sterling
