    Wow... forget Germany-Portugal.

    Denmark-Russia became my "fun-nest" match of the tournament so far.

    Hollywood script here. Denmark loses their star player to a life-threatening collapse on the field some days ago... and here they were fighting for their tournament lives needing at least a 2-goal margin of victory against Russia, AND... a Belgium victory over Finland. When it was 2-0 Denmark, the stadium roared after hearing about a goal from Belgium to take the lead on Finland. Alas, the goal was disallowed pretty at the same time Russia kicked a penalty goal to come with 2-1. But Denmark was not to be denied and they are now truly the tournament's darlings.

    Gonna be hard to root against them from here on out. Glad Russia's gone, though.

    The England team are now almost alone in taking the knee before each game. Now the manager says it's about racial Justice but we all know the taking the knee is now absolutely linked with the Marxist black lives matter movement. What's been happening is the crowds have been booing, so this isn't working at any level. I want people who play football to play football and not get involved in politics at all.

    The boos have been drowned out by cheers. Millionaire footballers do not support Marxism. When sterling scored he should have taken a knee and see how many of them would boo then.

    So long as we stay in we've got a chance of getting better. We can't win it in the opening games. I thought we were pretty good against Croatia. Mings, Phillips and Sterling all played well. We were fucking piss poor against Scotland. It's basically a one off against them right. Form, supposed ranking, all that shit flies out the window and it's a case of who wants it more and letting that little bit of extra class shine through, on paper anyway. We looked clueless. Pedestrian. Kane absent. Foden has had a couple of moments but on the whole I've been disappointed with him. Scotland played well to be fair.

    We didnt look too great in the opening games of Euro 96. Crap against the Swiss. Gazza's wonder goal glossed over what was also a pretty shit performance against the Scots. Then things clicked and we battered the Dutch.

    I'd love us to win this, or something in my lifetime. But in the grander scheme of things I just want to be happy with the way we play. Going for the throat like we mean business.

    The 1st half of England-Czech Republic was quite entertaining. Could've been 3-0, save for Sterling hitting the post on that lob over the goalie's head, and a good save on Kane's shot from the left side.
    Late in the half England dodged some bullets from the Czechs.

    Now they (England) faces either France, Portugal, or Germany in the round of 16. Kind of a tough draw... but a chance for some payback, especially if it's Germany.

    Topping the group without conceding a goal, winning our opening game, most England fans would have bitten your hand off if offered that before the tournament began.

    I don't really watch the Premiership so Saka was a bit of a revelation for me and we looked pretty solid throughout. Germany look more dangerous than both France and Portugal but we are actually pretty even in international fixture terms. They have the edge 5 games to our 4 in recent fixtures but we should not be intimidated.

    Portugal are the biggest threat for us with the individuals that can tie us in knots. France can blow hot and cold and if we can keep our heads there is the potential for fireworks going forward in this team which actually has to be one of our greatest squads for a long time.

    For once we are not putting all the pressure on one player, Gazza, Gerrard, Beckham, Rooney etc to lift the performance of the other 10 players. Even the Croatian result looks much better after seeing what they did to Scotland last night.

    England are playing with 10 men. Harry Kane is not adding nothing to the team. We can not afford to play him against the best teams.
