These two teams look like they are struggling with fitness already.

It’s not just this week, it’s been say 4 or 5 years of decline.
But certainly recent times have been none stop flaming and wind ups.

Great performance from England. Back five was absolutely the correct call to go man for man with their team. We were pretty solid and got the goals when it counts. Still can't believe people were saying drop Sterling when he keeps making these great runs into the box and getting in goalscoring positions. Kane proved the doubters wrong by scoring when actually given a presentable chance. Muller definitely should have scored and we got away with one, but you need a bit of luck in any tournament. Genuinely can't fault the players or manager this time! Job well done!

Got everything right today. Even removing saka wbich at the time seemed mad

Come on chaps. Leave it now.

It should be a good night, not one to bicker.

Sweden have had a tough run in , high temperatures and constant defending… this is where there is an advantage when you have a big squad with talent

Yes let's celebrate Kane getting off the mark and really hope it opens the flood gates to bang 2-3 on Saturday to fire us into two semi finals in 2 tournaments

I have to say I like the Swedish attack is very good, they are a handful and they are youngsters

Could do with this game becoming an end to end slog with extra time and pens.

On the way....

He was hit with the ball .. that’s how good Grealish is

I said it to my spurs mate during the game he needs either a tap in or a pen just to get him going

Decent, and we don't write anyone off since the Iceland debacle, but truly we should have enough to beat either of these sides. They're certainly no better than Croatia or Czech Republic.

Red card incoming.

 

[fundy]

got to be red, diff game now

 

[Orikoru]

My God, that was a horror challenge. The way the guys leg bent back, that was a potential leg breaker. Stonewall red card.

 

[GB72]

Having trouble seeing the negatives

No goals conceded
Winning when Kane is not firing
Less injuries than when we started
3 wins
Drew with Scotland in a potential banana skin match against a team with a vocal support and nothing to lose when a draw was all we really needed
No suspensions
Next opposition playing 120 minutes tonight
Tough opponents out
Got the German albatross from around our necks
Yes we could be more exciting to watch at times but we have the results and momentum is building and we are still in the tournament

Red card incoming.

He looks in a bad way. Definite red, a reckless tackle if ever I saw one!
