Ukraine v England - Saturday 03/07 - 20:00

[JimW]

The Ukrainians have been very poor.

Feel like it's us stopped them getting going.

 

[JTG]

The Ukrainians have been very poor.

I dunno, they left it all out there against Sweden tbf and it's very hard to recover in three days at these things, especially with the travel in between. They're an OK side, have taken it to their limit but have probably lived down to their ranking as worst team left in the quarter finals

 

[Ax^]

stop watching as i can just listen to the reaction thru the window

 

[JimW]

Maybe Putin arranged for spiked drinks

 

[Sprocket.]

The Ukrainians have been very poor.

You can only play the team in front of you.

 

[Sprocket.]

That was a bit!

 

[quiet guy]

What the hell was Pickford doing then

 

[planetgeli]

Haha Pickford. You're allowed.

 

[Riklet]

something is returning to the house

 

[deeyo]

I wondered why oggies were in fashion this summer

genius really, gain 50+ yards and the opposition has to return to their own half.

Grigory Zinoviev

Your boys are taking one hell of a beating.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Finally!

 

[imposs1904]

Does this make Southgate the second most successful England manager of all time?

 

[Rebelda]

No hat trick for H

We won a world cup too once but we don't like to keep going on about it

 

[Steel Icarus]

What a great passage of play that was. Keep-ball. From England.

eta:
Oleg Vernik, your boys are taking one hell of a beating.

 

[JTG]

Taking the piss by bringing your best centre forward on at 4-0

 

[colacubes]

Yes Pickford

 

[Lord Camomile]

Two semi-finals in successive tournaments? My history's far from perfect, but have to think so.

Oh, and the SF of the first Nations League, too.

 

[JTG]

Does this make Southgate the second most successful England manager of all time?

Yep. Bobby Robson managed a WC SF and QF - and I guess Euro 88 counts as last eight even if it was a disaster. But nobody has managed two semi finals

 

[imposs1904]

Second after Sir Alf.

The gammons will be pleased.

 

[JTG]

Yes Pickford

Everton in goal and up front. Lovely stuff

 

[Lord Camomile]

The gammons will be pleased.

Was wondering earlier, how they'll try to square crediting this to Brexit while still calling our players communists.

 

[Rebelda]

Success sucschmess. GOAT

 

[Elpenor]

Maybe Putin arranged for spiked drinks

Polonium in the half time oranges

Gareth's Marxist Marvels

 

[Steel Icarus]

Pickford needs to stop trying to make things interesting

 

[Pickman's model]

I dunno, they left it all out there against Sweden tbf and it's very hard to recover in three days at these things, especially with the travel in between. They're an OK side, have taken it to their limit but have probably lived down to their ranking as worst team left in the quarter finals

I reckon they were half beaten to be facing an England in this sort of rampant form, and the goals early in the second half have pretty much crushed them

 

[imposs1904]

Yep. Bobby Robson managed a WC SF and QF - and I guess Euro 88 counts as last eight even if it was a disaster. But nobody has managed two semi finals

If that means I can also claim Scotland reached the last eight in 1992, then I'll take it.
