The knockouts

I hope it's as hard as possible for us. I want Southgate to earn getting far into the tournament, not rely on luck. Hope it is Italy after Slovakia and then the Netherlands, although I actually wouldn't mind Romania as it'd be nice to avenge the 2000 loss to them and the one in 98.

I also think what Ange said last night is true. If you play substandard opposition you're not best-placed to face a big team as you've not built that momentum. If we lucked our way to the final without playing a favourite, we'l get torn apart on the final. You need to face big teams in order to get conditioned to that level.

On another note, we're facked. If we scrape through the Qtrs, we will definitely go out in the semis

By we I presume you are referring to the Netherlands

I think you lot have landed on your feet - you’ve got Romania and then the winner of Austria vs Turkey standing between you and the semis. You looked good against France and then shiete against Austria - but I think you guys should be confident

Final: Spain v Italy.

Any deniers speak up now!

worst Italian team ever!

I genuinely think Switzerland beat England (if England get through). They’re very solid and have the tools to hurt them.

England scraped thru 2-1 over Slovakia.
took them until minute 5 of injury time to make it 1-1.
Switzerland have a very good chance to win.
