Cole Palmer did more adventurous (and largely successful) things in his 15 minutes than the rest of the team did collectively in the entire 90. Totally transformed the team which gives at least some small reason for optimism. Clearly Mainoo (tidy but not great), Palmer and probably Gordon should all...

Mmm 6 mins in and yes, I can really see a difference.

Nice one Gareth.

NathStPaul Reckon we will win but it will be another arduous affair. Hopefully he unleashes Cole Palmer, Mainoo and Gordon.

For the final 5 minutes perhaps.

Much more than that, of COURSE he won’t!

Kane constantly dropping into midfield is the one change that would make a big difference. Leave that space for Foden, Saka and Bellingham to exploit. Then show a bit of trust in Gordon, Palmer and Watkins to come on in the second half if we're not creating anything. Kane scores so many goals its d...

Seems to be a lot of anti Scotland feeling around here. That’s kind of understandable. The scotch are quite anti English. But that’s mainly because the English are largely c/nts, especially when it comes to football. I mean there is a certain irony in English fans not liking Scotland because of a p...

Well I thought the Scotland pen decision was irrelevant as he was offside. No media seems to have even considered that which I find really odd.

And Vargas seemed to collapse without contact.

But I might be wrong on both counts.

I thought Belgium, after being pretty average for most of the last few years, looked really good last night. Wasn’t expecting that.

Kevin Garside sums it up very well. And when Southgate intervened his first change was Conor Gallagher, a kind of fast-twitch replica of Rice, a player who runs about a lot but who cannot control a match at this level. So England had two of a kind when the situation was crying out for Kobbie Mainoo ...

Well he's clearly got it right in tournaments more than he's got it wrong.... But even then, in the big moments, he so clearly got it wrong. I don't think anyone looking at the big picture can call his reign a failure. The national team was a toxic environment before he was there, players didn't en...

A good manager looks at the players at his disposal and works out how to form the most effective team from them, utilising their best attributes in their best positions, but always thinking how the mix can gel together to be a properly cohesive team. For sure it’s not easy, but I don’t think Southg...

Millions of football fans have ideas how to fix the problems (some good, many bad because... well, football fans are a pretty think bunch on the whole) but the guy paid millions to make the big decisions has none.

Good analysis on ITV about England before the Spain game I thought.

tulip Spain best team in the tournament, I think so.

Looking very good so far tonight. No-one would be surprised if Italy win though.

LUX No changes

Of COURSE there are no fcuking changes!!

He has ZERO idea of how to change momentum of a game for the better.

Been saying for years that this squad is wasted with Southgate. Get him gone If we win anything under him it'll be because the players have said "fcuk you and your safety first tactics, we're going to play to our strengths, push forward, try to dominate teams and once we get a lead, keep our f...

Not watching it but BBC seem to be suggesting England are sitting back on the lead allowing Denmark to come back into the game and actually dominate us.

Well there's a fcuking surprise.

Oh FFS, I see it is now 1-1.

Don't mind whether it's from the bench or on the pitch (the former is more likely I'd have thought) but hoping for some Ronaldo twattish tantrums tonight.
