    Well, that was a lot easier than I expected. Wales had absolutely zero fight. Embarrassing

    The Welsh manager said that Wales where "fantastic" first half.

    No suprise they struggled to win a game if the manager is sniffing glue

    I'm not usually one for the tribalism that comes with International football. Probably due to me having a foot in Scotland, England and Ireland, but those smarmy little Welsh ****s celebrating England getting knocked out the Euros really riled me. Revenge is ****ing sweet

    Fantastic at what? Retreating faster than a French soldier?

    Not sure he's that clever if I'm honest.
    We have a nice balance of youth and senior players, Wales were there for the taking right from the first minute so why they were held back first half only the manager can explain.

    Easy to forget Rashford is still only 25. He’s had an excellent career so far and has plenty of years ahead of him. Delighted he’s getting back towards his best…

    What's actually been wrong with him? Off field distractions? Club form?

    Politics, he's done some great off the field stuff but his football has suffered

    What stage in the World Cup do we need to get to for you to give Southgate some credit? Or is it a case that even if we win, you'll believe that it was nothing to do with him?

    Very accomplished that I thought. Think on balance we look as good as anyone. France maybe best. Knock outs now, but we are a very good side IMO. Southgate very very good tonight.

    Defence is England's weakness. Mbappe or Gavi will destroy Maguire and Stones

    I am very happy to say, well done Southgate's England.

    We were good against Iran poor against USA and then good against Wales.

    As often happens in tournaments, the team sort of stumble onto the best system as a couple of perhaps unexpected players come to the fore.

    Rushford and Bellingham are looking on form right now.

    Last 16, never easy as its obvious that better teams get through to this stage.

    Senegal will be no pushover they look big fast and skillful.

    We can beat them, providing we match their athleticism and energy. With the air conditioned stadia, heat exhaustion has not been a problem. Although fresh subs coming on have made a difference for nearly every team.
