How did he give the first French penalty and not that?
I bet if the decisions had gone the other way and he'd given that one and not the French one VAR wouldn't have overturned either of them. There's been lots of talk about how well VAR has been used in this tournament, and in general I'd agree, but there does seem to be an instruction not to overturn the on field decision.
Of the three teams England were likely to get having won their group, Germany are surely the preferred option. France and Portugal just have too much class. The Germans are not the side they were.
Equally, we are now on the better side of the draw (they have just shown the route)
Just seen the draw. To say it’s opened up for England is an understatement!

Having said a few hours ago we won't beat Germany....we can beat Germany!!!
Well for me it’s now a case of if we don’t reach the final, Southgate has to be sacked.
I don’t want him anyway, but that’s as easy a route as possible.

Well apart from Germany, who you can never write off, Sweden, who topped their group which included Spain, and Netherlands who have looked pretty good so far in the tournament. It's definitely the easier half of the draw to be in but not sure I'd call it "as easy a route as possible". We all saw how our easy route to the final of the last World Cup went until we came up against the first decent team we met, and we've potentially got three decent teams between us and the final.
Apparently so.
I didn’t mean It disrespectfully, although it obvs is. But prior to the start. We’d have all taken that.
sweden beat Slovakia and Poland, the draw with Spain is obviously good, but that doesn’t make them a super team all of a sudden.
holand whilst looking decent, don’t t have the squads they’ve had in the past.
don’t get me wrong, Southgate could manage a team to lose to anyone, he imo has a bit of an Ole about him. Gets results at the right time, but not the big ones.
but Germany aside, that’s a run i would expect to beat, if we get past Germany.

You make it sound like an England - Germany semi final.

Honestly, I've just had a look as well - it really makes all the "we should try and come 2nd in the group" idiots look properly stupid.

Depends what side plays really … the one with no ambition or the one which wants to get a goal every time they get possession

Germany have a weak defence we can cause a lot of problems out wide which is where we're a threat. They also have no cutting edge and look unbalanced upfront, we really should be putting them to bed if we've got anything about ourselves.
Buzzing for next week!

There is a real debate on Talksport about dropping Kane because he’s been really poor thus far. I’m not alone in my thoughts.

They could have this guy, all they need to do is sign Kante
