    0-0 all the way. They’ve not really done anything so just do this for another 75 minutes and we’re there.

    Relatively happy with that so far. Typically tight and cagey with few chances as you'd expect. Definitely got that feeling of 1-0 either way.

    They've had far more possession but think we've been pretty comfortable in defending it. Couple of times we've looked exposed down flanks but players have got back well with great tackles.

    For all their possession I can't think of a single chance they've created? Foden shot at end only shot on target I think?

    We're definitely carrying a threat on the break here too. Just a bit more composure needed.

    See you all on the other side!

    I'm actually starting to think England will win this. They'll get better after a few subs... can see them winning 1-0. If not on pens for sure.

    The defence has been excellent... and John Stones timing in the tackle has been superb ...

    ... but Spain by far the more dangerous...

    Think we need to try and isolate Saka against Cucurella more. You can see their midfield are worried about the prospect and quick to cover. Even if Saka gets no joy it may open up space for someone else.

    They've looked the more threatening and had most the ball but not sure they've looked that dangerous.

    Arguably we had the best chance in Foden towards the end.

    Watkins for Kane and you might win this.

    The only time Spain looked like scoring was when Stones chipped over Pickford

    Kane's gonna occupy the defenders though, right?

    Spain just took their best player off because he's not fit.

    Take note Gareth.
