I think Holland are the side I’ve seen the least of this tournament, last night aside. Feel like all of their games have been at the awkward times. Don’t think there’s much to fear with them, but they do seem to have got their shit together a bit, like we have.
Set pieces will need defending well but they also looked susceptible to them against Turkey. They certainly aren’t an elite team.

They were excellent in the second round against Romania, although Romania seemed to be like rabbits in headlights

Don't think so, unless they fall victim to separate misfortunes. Classic episode 👍 Wonderbat Ah thanks for the info. Just searched for it, it's season 3 episode 17, found it on Amazon prime but its £1.85. Thought fuck it I really want to watch it now so I've paid for it lol Oh and it's called "Homer at the Bat"

Not really interested in any team other than Stoke, but looking at results in this tournament, I can’t see how Spain (won 5 of 5, 2 by 3 goals) don’t win it. England’s results (won 2 of 5, both 1-0) are uninspiring to say the least! My prediction Spain 2-1 France; England lose to Netherlands on penalties after a 0-0 draw and in the final, Spain 3-1 Netherlands.

A team of English officials get Germany knocked out after a controversial decision over a penalty in ET. Is this payback time

Not sure who'd they hate most, us or the Dutch. True that. But still concerning if the ref has a beef with one of our biggest players on a personal level..

Notice we have Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink on the coaching staff. I wonder what his feelings will be on Wednesday. Must be difficult to separate your emotions when you're playing against your own country in a massive game.

As far as I'm aware the Germans have never really seen England as a rival, it's a one way hatred in terms of football because they've knocked us out so many times. Wouldn't be surprised if they didn't like us a nation in terms of our reputation as fans/tourists though

It's quite an alarming situation but there's no evidence of the ref having "beef" with Bellingham, only the other way round. It does seem weird that a ref with that on his record would be free to officiate at a major tournament, but on the other hand maybe it's good that there's a path to redemption for a young fella who made a dumb mistake under the influence of a corrupt authority figure, especially as it was him who dobbed him in eventually.

I think we have the most in common / are the most relatable 2 European countries to be honest. They certainly like us more than the French or Spanish do.

Luke Shaw has declared himself fit for 90 minutes.
Surely Southgate wouldnt let him out to say that if he wasnt planning on starting him for the next game?
When he came on against Switzerland, Im not sure he played LWB exactly and rather just played Left sided central defender? Or was I just being blind? It looked like Eberechi Eze was LWB.
Surely he is slotted to play LB or LWB against the Dutch now? Thank god no more Trippier stuck out over there - we might finally have one attack down the left-wing.

Im sure Southgate will wheel this one out before the game. Still gives me goosebumps - best game Ive ever watched England play at an international tournament.

We know it’s going to end in disappointment.
It’s Ingerland.
It’s just what happens. A semi final defeat is less painful than another final defeat. And we don’t deserve to be near the final let alone winning it.
Gooarrrrnnnn Gareth!!!

Can't fault them at all. If you treat people anywhere in the majority of countries with respect you will generally get that respect back.

Major decision on wether to stick with the back 3. I think he will.
We were far from perfect but it was better.
Guehi in for Konsa and I'd personally play Shaw but I can see him being loyal to Trippier.
Palmer/Toney and Arnold to come on quicker this game as well.
I'm always confident with this squad and I think Holland being more attacking will suit us. Going for a 2-1 win and onto the final!

I think it’ll be back 3 with Shaw LWB and Guehi back in and they’ll be the only changes. I don’t agree with it but see what happens
