I'm slightly relieved as I did think he might go full on shit himself by going with a 3-4-2-1 with wingbacks of Trippier and Shaw, 2 defensive midfielders just like the tried and failed Euro final with Foden being sacrificed
He still might!!

Southgate - "One of our strengths over the years has been having less fear, showing less inhibition," he said.
"But at the beginning of the tournament the expectation weighed heavily and the noise from outside had never been louder."
If you say so Gareth!

For me it’s time to get behind Gareth and the lads, we are in yet another semi final of a major tournament, it’s not been pretty, it’s not been nice free flowing football, but they have dug deep and found a way to win and get through, us Stoke fans demand a team that digs deep, battles and finds a way to win, and this team is doing it.
You will all get your chance to slag Gareth and the team off if we go out, but let’s wait and see if that actually happens first. You never know, they may just find a way to win again.
COME ON ENGLAND.

Obviously I will get behind my country tonight and hope they win. This squad should be getting to the semi final and 99% of managers would get to the semis with the players we have and the games we have played, same for the last few tournaments. If we win tonight then this could go down to tactics then fair play to the manager. Players will/ should be giving a more up and at em approach tonight because the pressure is a bit more off playing a good side that will come at us and not sit back. Think we will win this and players like Foden and Kane will shine in this game.

Feels like a 50/50 game to me but we should have the edge. Kane isn't getting dropped so we need a performance from him.
I think either side would likely be put to the sword by the Spanish but you never know in a one off game. Lets hope we do the business tonight

England are usually organised and formulaic. Can we please combine this with some magical weirdness tonight please?

The Dutch are quite confident over here of beating England i must say.
I call it a 50:50 game, but we might have the edge with better substitutes and we are actually better at penalty shoot-outs than them.
Its going to be a tight and close game for sure I would expect. Its really hard to call, but I dont see why we cant do it

Its really hard to call, but I dont see why we cant do it 50-50 starting line ups. If its goes to 120 mins we are 70-30. Our team improves for changes. The only one in the tournament to do so.

Indeed I think it will stay tight and maybe the genius in Southgates crazy plan is to get every game to penalties, where we might actually be favourites. The Dutch dont have such a strong bench, so maybe keeping it 0-0 for 60 minutes wont be the worst thing in the world

Must be at least 50 or so easy identifications in that video. Ban from football games for life and 5000 euro/gbp fine.

Every time we go into a major tournament I just have to watch the Graham Taylor documentary. Just classic TV🤣 Had to feel sorry for Taylor that night as some horrible decisions but one major one for each side I watched it in America seem to remember Was obviously the pen that never was..personally thought was outside but a red all day long. Did the lino overrule the ref for a pen? Seem to remember the ref giving a pen What rarely gets mentioned was the Rijkaard disallowed goal at 0-0. Same lino. Wasn't even close to being offside. Terrible decision England actually played well that night. Seem to remember Dorigo hitting the post and a few other chances . A draw would have been enough I think

Hoping for a good performance tonight. If we continue to play how we have been & scrape through then I have no doubt that Spain will rip us a new one in the final.
Come on England let’s show the world how good we are!
