    They're not getting past Spain unless they improve dramatically.

    Probably time for Mbappe to show up with a masterclass! Spain been the best team so far have to be favourites surely?

    Yeah Spain must be the favourites now but I thought they were lucky today. None of the big teams have particularly impressed and it's getting to the point where anyone could win it if they perform on the day.

    Well that didn't get any better the longer it went.
    Wouldn't worry about them in the final like I would with Spain.

    Unconvincing to see the least. I can see them winning it 1-0 via an OG from a goal kick bouncing off the back of a defenders head.

    Been a lot of poor quality games at this tournament and France have been as responsible for that as England have.

    How do people feel about England tomorrow, then?

    Hope I’m wrong but I think we’ll get beat, after ET or penalties. Switzerland are a good side.

    Typical English knobs trying to get a reaction.

    If our front players click then we’ll give anyone a game. I’m also hoping are very recent experiences of going to the very late stages of tournaments can be help us through too.

    I think the way we won when on the brink of going home it might FINALLY get us going, the back 3 suits us a lot more, the Swiss will be more prone to attack which leaves gaps if we move the ball quickly like we can we will exploit those gaps, I think a 2-0 win but it won’t be easy

    I just don't know how the England game will go, I think we will go out if we don't see a massive improvement. It will be a tougher game than Slovakia and we were absolutely ****e.

    Southgate can't be so stupid as to stick with the same setup, rumours of a back 3 are encouraging but the players also need to work their bollocks off and not saunter around. Kane needs a kick up the arse and to be told to stay up front as an outlet even if we are under pressure.

    If the rumoured team with wing backs and Foden & Jude as essentially 2 floating 10’s is accurate then the Swiss will find it very difficult to hold that.

    If….

    Talking of England's forward play, the lack of a threat in behind has really pissed me off so far. Have more pacey runs past the defenders and get them looking over their shoulders more. It also might free some space up for the likes of Foden and Saka.
