Southgate got it spot on tonight.

Hope Southgate gets a contract extension!

No but the Knighthood is in the post.

Went onto the soft drinks ages ago… might have had a few glasses of brandy after tea

Good lad

 

[BrianM]

That finish gets better and better

Yes I agree he did so credit where it’s due.

 

[Beezerk]

That finish gets better and better

Absolute belter of a finish.

 

[Bunkermagnet]

Start with Watkins up front.

All the goals England have scored in open play during this tournament my wife has been having a . I’ve just told her to stay in the loo on Sunday for 90 minutes.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

That is a brilliant turn and finish from Watkins

But what made it was the run into space and think it was Palmer who played the ball

He was in positions where you want to see you lone striker


England played better tonight

Walker was very good

But Spain going to be a huge step up

 

[clubchamp98]

Start with Watkins up front.

He won’t he will do exactly what he did tonight.

Don’t change a winning team.!
Kane is skipper he won’t leave him out.

 

[PJ87]

Kane has never scored in a final.

Drop him Sunday. Watkins please

If we start too conservative against Spain the game could be over before we know what’s happening.

Penalty aside, Kane was anonymous. Again.

 

[clubchamp98]

What a moment for Watkins and his family.
They must be over the moon

 

[Golfmmad]

What a finish that is.

Yeah, and the pass from Palmer was sublime!

I agree.
But we know what will happen.

Kane would never have scored that because he'd have been in midfield when Palmer was looking to pass forward.

I have never heard of a lucky poo before. Give her a bag of Liquorice before the game..

Watkins turned on a sixpence. Kane turns like a super tanker on one engine.
How many times was the ball put into the box tonight and Kane was nowhere near where he should have been? Even commentary made mention of "wanting the centre forward up high"

Joking aside, there were 3 or four times during this game he was not in our around the six yard box when balls went in the box. Shots from outside the box and a penalty from a bouncing ball.
I can understand one bad game in a tournament, but he has had a bad tournament and you cannot carry anyone in a final. I mentioned to Missis T that Foden and Bellingham were putting the yards in for Kane.

It’s not just Watkins re making the runs, he has the pace to close down the keeper who rushes the kick and gives it away.
