I really don't mean this the wrong way but my impression is that you're more optimistic and forgiving when it comes to England and its team than when it comes to Spurs and our team. You seem to have more faith in Southgate than you do Ange.

Apologies if I've overstepped or misunderstood, I'm just making an observation.

It’s a fair point. I find it easier to back England because I can genuinely see how they can win something. With Spurs I don’t see that. Spurs see success as top 4, I want to see actual trophies. I don’t particularly think Southgate is a good manager but I think he’s had good results with the national side. Ange talks a good game but I’m not sold on him yet, I think he’s stubborn and tactically naive.

Just a reminder, you are talking to someone who watched Serbia vs Denmark the other night out of spite

...and still had running commentary for the England match, because football coverage in this country is a professional operation

I didn’t watch Serbia vs Denmark and I definitely don’t watch any games out of spite

So are Belgium, and they got booed off by their fans for being ****e too

Belgium didn’t win their group and now have the hardest route to the final. England won their group even without playing well.

They deserve to get booed for wearing that monstrosity of a kit.

Don't think the players get to choose their kit

"Leave that slut Marina alone!"

Edit: Damn, I'm confusing Thunderbirds and Stingray. Nevertheless I won't delete my comment so you can all see my shame.

Homage to the worst Coventry kit from the 70s.

I loved that kit but I must be one of the few that liked our own brown kit , liked it so much I brought the top , daughter nicked it off me years later

Italy playing like England, only this time against a decent team.

Big 45 needed next otherwise it’s goodbye from them.

ByeBye EyeTies.

Shambolic performance by them.

Shame as wanted England to knock out Italy but well done Switzerland. That won’t be an easy game for England.
