Euro 2024

Agree re Spain being the best team of the tournament so far. Can't remember what was expected of them at the start mind. Know they're a decent team but not the team of 15 or so years ago when they won (not checking but I think I'm right!) three of the major tournaments back to back.

Whoever wins tonight will need to find another gear to beat them in the final.

Not nervous yet but I will be come late afternoon. Weird feeling. We're in a semi that doesn't happen often yet low expectation and general feeling we don't deserve to be here.

Yamal and Williams have been superb, and Rodri has just bossed games. The Spanish players technique is just fabulous.

France have sort of used the same setup and tactics as England (conservative play, solid defence, wait for someone with super talent to do something), and they gave Spain problems.

if England go through, those tactics may be good ones, but I think France have that bit more individual talent

[Mark TKO]

disagree France have more individual talent - Mbappe though is certainly special.

On paper I'd say we have better talent, it's just unfortunate the game is played on grass where the talent is not flourishing........

Fucking hell.

We'll be underdogs on Sunday but wtf something is going right. Just need kane to get injured before the final now to give Southgate an easy call to make...

We actually played OK tonight

Congratulations... that was a well-played match. Although I thought the ref called a few questionable fouls against Netherlands... I also felt it could've easily been 2-1 or 3-1 England at the half. Some quality near misses.

Regardless, it's gonna be a quality Final.

England vs Spain.

Doesn't get much more classic than that.

What a messy semifinal between Uruguay and Colombia.

Colombia won a frantic, foul-filled affair.

I think Argentina sweeps the floor with them in the final.

I can see why the penalty was given - in the crazy days of var - but no way should those be given in my book.

Agreed thought we should have been ahead at half time but we got the lucky break late on again. I’ll take it of course.

Job not done yet though.

Runners up just ain’t good enough no more.
