England v Germany - Tuesday 29/06 - 17:00

Kane's hurt. I wonder if there's an actual sack of shit on the bench so we can do a like-for-like replacement.

This post has aged well I feel.

In Great Leader Gareth I trust ❤

Got to agree. I’ve been watching Rotherham since 1968.

South Yorkshire back three did it tonight though

lol. southgate tactical genius. were going to grind our way to the final

There wasn't a lot of grinding there, a remarkably good performance. But bet there'll be a new nemesis in the final

When your defence is tight and it'll only take a goal to win the game, it's not a great idea to take off your best goalscorer whether he's in form or not.

 

[belboid]

By the way i'm doing a little side line in shitty st goerge flags for cars if anyones interested

I’ll order eight as long as you promise they’re spelled like that

 

[The Octagon]

We've still not even played our best football yet.

Just saying.

This feels good tho, sod whatever else happens.

 

[CNT36]

Ffs. I was hoping to watch the penalties once bath time was done.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Notable German William Wales not looking too happy.

 

[fucthest8]

Well, thank fuck the taxi turned up when it did, got to see the second go in

Would have been gutted if we'd missed that!

 

[kabbes]

I thought England played well. Good possession, tight defence. Could do with a bit more incisiveness in attack but they had the player in Sterling to make the difference when they needed it.

He'd stuck a ton of money on germany

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Fantastic!! We've opened a German beer we daren't open before It's horrid but we don't care!!

 

[MrSki]

Made it back from work in time to see the final whistle.

Still it is the result that counts.

 

[tommers]

Fucking brilliant.

 

[Sunray]

lol. southgate tactical genius. were going to grind our way to the final

At least we will have won more games in open play than Portugal.

 

[A380]

Notable German William Wales not looking too happy.

He's as German as Queen Victoria...

 

[Ted Striker]

lol. southgate tactical genius. were going to grind our way to the final

I don't see nothing wrong, with a bit of Southgate's grind

 

[Kaka Tim]

not a great game. but southgates plan is working. Germany wernt good, but England stopped them from being good. Pickford is having a great tournament (thats 4 clean sheets) as is maguire. Stirling is hugely frustrating but he keeps scoring. Kane was shit until england scored then he suddenly woke up. grealish has been very good. Sweden or Ukraine up next -

Was that true in the three games before this one, too?

I've been defending Kane's record on here and Twitter, but it's not "being a miserable cunt" to point out he's not performed to his best.

E2A: hang on, also: "it'll only take a goal to win the game"..?? His goal was our second goal, coming after a goal who also scored the winning (and only) goal in our two previous wins!

 

[JimW]

Just that moment of madness when we got slightly cocky after the first goal. Kane played a part in two or three build ups before he got his too. Needs more to come but it's there to be had and look at all those lovely clean sheets.

 

[Badgers]

Appreciate you all thanking me for my service

 

[Supine]

Tears of joy

 

[RedRedRose]

Germany were fairly poor today, but we had a job containing them and putting together some moves. Well done lads.

 

[Rebelda]

Shaw had a great second half

If the spelling on the wrapper is the same as your post you might have problems shifting them at a good price

 

[May Kasahara]

Nice one. Congrats to those who predicted the win. Germany didn't really turn up and England did enough.

Indeed. I've never been so happy to be wrong

 

[blairsh]

I agreed to be in early tomorrow, so i'm off to mow the back garden with a beer.

Good work Badgers

Germany were poor cos we stopped them playing.

 

[strung out]

This must be how it felt to be Spanish in 2010. Glorious, turgid, winning football.
