    Dominated first half. Foden deserved to score one of his chances.

    Second half Dutch setup to stifle us, then Southgate subs worked .

    Overall the better team won tonight.

    Spain will be a different animal. Can see a high scoring game. Possibly.

    First half performance was miles better
    Second half Dutch got here act together and stifled us but goal was fabulous great ball from Palmer and that could have been Defoe. Out of your feet shoot goal.
    Think we might just win this

    We have that knack of finding a way. Really fancy us now.

    Not a chance I’d be starting Kane to be honest. We have to get this right from the off because Spain are much better than anyone so far.Fair play to him so far but he needs to have some balls.

    Good performance tonight. Subs that made a genuine difference too. Great finish from Ollie Watkins, class centre forward play.

    I've fancied us from the start mate. Believed Southgate didn't want to show his hand too early,said on here for a few weeks. Hope we get across the line.

    I’d still start Kane, he’s one of the top strikers in the world and could easily end up the tournament top scorer.
    Southgate’s subs have worked so far, why change it

    I'd start Kane but if it's all gone flat I wouldn't leave it as late to bring Watkins on. Credit to Watkins for doing so much with so little.

    What a goal. You're thinking it's a tight angle and it'll be tough to score from there. But why not give it try. Why not indeed!

    Cool that Watkins said to Palmer before they came on 'You're going to set me up'.

    Aye incredible finish. To hit it so cleanly and accurately without a trace of pull or slice at such a pressure moment speaks to the stones on the guy. Big game player.

    We were the better team in the first half, because we moved the ball quickly and went at them. Second half was more even but I never felt they were going to get a second.
    Great finish for the winner.

    We have been poor for most of this tournament, but we are in the final and in years to come all anybody will see are the results. That in the end is all that counts.

    Deserved to win off the line, offside goal was tight, our performance of the tournament, start Watkins on Sunday, it will be a real test though, i would rather play Spain than france though

    The difference is that Watkins/Toney exist to serve the team ...

    ... whereas, with Kane in the side, the team exists to serve him.

    Watched the game in a pub in Kentish Town, was largely students who appeared to know nowt about football but the atmosphere was class all the same. Absolutely the best way to win a game of football
