England have reached the semi finals. And are playing Isreal (who shouldn't be there) at 5pm.

You can watch for free at UEFA.tv but you need to register first.

The other semi final is Spain v Ukraine at 8pm.

England miss a penalty.

England 1-0 up at half time. Brilliant header from Gibbs White. Then the game almost ground to a halt. Anyone else watching?

Saw most of the first half on Portugals Sport TV channel

 

[Maggot]

2-0 now Thanks to VAR.

 

[Maggot]

Ended 3-0. Hope the final on Saturday is a more exciting game.

 

[The39thStep]

Spain tearing Ukraine apart but possibly more goals

 

[Maggot]

Final is now being shown on Channel 4. 5pm today.

 

[Maggot]

Bump.

30 mintes to go.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Much obliged, I thought it was at 7pm

 

[Maggot]

A lucky goal, fisticuffs and 2 red cards, all in first half injury time.

 

[twistedAM]

Lol, they give the goal to Jones.

 

[Lord Camomile]

England have been hanging in there for quite a bit of the second half.

Can they hang on a coupla minutes longer...?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Uh-oh...!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Right, no pressure, lads

 

[Lord Camomile]

FFFFFFFFFUCKING HELL!

 

[two sheds]

Fucking hell

 

[twistedAM]

Double save wow

 

[two sheds]

Please don't let him have stood off his line

 

[Lord Camomile]

The game's going to end up with more people on the pitch than on the benches!

 

[Puddy_Tat]

 

[two sheds]

Lots of reds

 

[Lord Camomile]

Everyone wants the ref to blow the final whistle now, but he's having none of it. I love it!

 

[Lord Camomile]

What a way to complete a clean sheet tournament.

Although it did look in danger a number of times this game.

 

[twistedAM]

Four medals for Cole Palmer this season.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Great battling performance. Deserved.

 

[The39thStep]

Good tense entertaining game .

 

[Maggot]

Brilliant result!

Although I think it was a poor penalty rather than a great save.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Nice to see a lot of our players going over to Abel Ruiz (whose penalty was saved).

Hard to know exactly what he'd actually appreciate hearing from the opposition in this moment, though. But like to think there's a better culture around this sort of thing now/coming than in previous generations.

That said, there  were four red cards, plus a bunch of yellows...

 

[Steel Icarus]

Brilliant result!

Although I think it was a poor penalty rather than a great save.

Arguably any penno that doesn't go in is poor, any penno save is good. Was a tired effort though for sure
