It's not like after playing exciting attacking football we were never sent home anyway by a combination of bad luck, and opposing team playing more boring but more effective football etc.

Winning is winning and I would like to enjoy it before I forget what my name is and what being English means and what football actually is.
At last! An England fan that gets it right. So much bullshit talked by England fans. Winning is everything.
Please don’t take this as a dig because it’s not. Most England are so entitled. “Rather go out than win ugly!” THEY AINT 70’s BRAZIL!
The first priority is win a tournament , shake off the “always get beat when they meet a decent side” tag.
From there , it’s gets a little easier to win tournaments.
England have their best chance ever. I know that’s been said before , but this side is different. Not in the quality of play, but their attitude.
The Penalty takers were INCREDIBLE! that in itself is a massive step forward. As they walked up, you sensed that they would all score. Nowadays , this is a massive part of the game.
They came back from behind AGAIN! that shows the spirit is right.
On the minus side, if they end up playing Spain ( which they may not) I’m not sure if they can get enough possession or cope with Spain on the flanks, it could be one way traffic.
But a final is a final, anything can happen.
Am I dismissing Holland? I have to say, I feel Switzerland are a better team than Holland, so…………
My last word is to give the award to the biggest cunt in the English media. Jamie O’Hara, take a fucking bow.
Watch this failed footballer who couldn’t cope with the profession (his own words) on YouTube watching these games with Cundy for Talksport. The way he digs out Southgate is quite frankly disgusting!
If England do win this tournament (not my ideal choice, but if it happens, it happens) the first thing Southgate should do is DEMAND that O’Hara gets the sack!
When somebody gets it completely wrong in the media, why shouldn’t they? It’s no fucking different.
