Yeah they have depth in the squad....that could be killer for Ukraine.

Dunno about Kane, for me he's not right all tournament, his movement is better last two games but he looks off/lethargic.......then again there's no son or similar to feed him and feed off him ....sterling could begin to link even better though I suppose

He is missing Alli. Deli Alli.

Yes it was always like this and ever will be thus! Change the channel, don't do it to yourself.

England are really held to an impossible standard. There's no need for RTE to go into such a critique on the English performance. Teams don't have to be perfect to win tournaments and it's unfair to say Spain or Italy will hammer England. They are young and inexperienced teams so putting them on a pedestal doesn't make sense.

This tournament just shows how mental it is that they haven't to further over the years considering their size and love of football

Doctors room ghost

How are they going to make a fcukin highlights programme out of this.

Maguire is Jack Charlton and Bobby Moore rolled into one.

He nearly put his marker into the goal along with the ball.

Looked like a dive to win that free kick that led to the goal.

I think they were fair enough. The game I’m watching was cagy (until now) but England were well in control.

England aren’t that exciting but will clearly win. They will bring on some fresh subs mid second half as well. Also Kane has come back to form.

Interesting on the dedicated soccer forum they are all calling the English goalkeeper useless. He’s clearly been good for England this tournament. I’m not a club supporter so I don’t have their biases.

They didn’t need the subs.

Could be a total drubbing.

Strumms

Howler, disastrous goalkeeping, that really unbelievably poor, for any level.

They don't need the subs but Southgate should probably start thinking about the next game, give Sterling or Maguire or Philips a breather \ avoid yellows.

Thelonious Monk

Maguire and Kane, two Paddies.

Still a tough one to call on whether they will win the tournament or not, they just haven't been tested properly yet. Would they have beaten Belgium like the Italians did? We'll find out how good they are in the next 2 games I suppose.

Sadler Peak

The Dames will have no fear of this English side.

I know we're clinging on to hope here for the Danes but I really think this England team are very good and wont be a match, it's the Italians or Spain or bust really

This line gets trotted out every two years in these threads, the fact is every game is a test and if you fail that test you're out. Amazing how bitter some people are about the English team yet watch every match in the hope they lose.

Pathetic behaviour if you ask me.

It's very hard for a small country to keep the momentum going. Denmark had their big performance vs Belgium. They lost but it gave them momentum.

I'm pathetic and bitter when it comes to England and I'm fine with that. You can't deny they've had an easy route this time and in the world cup, they're a better side now than 3 years ago though that's for sure.

It's so annoying. I don't care about England but why don't they same people scrutinize other countries the exact same way?

Despite the South Pacific reference:D I agree. But I'm going for either a dramatic Semi final England loss to Denmark or a total wipe out final against Italy.

Sure they will look at a 4-0 victory ( at least) and say those boys are pushovers.

And England haven't hit first gear in this game.

Are people watching what I am watching?

Well done Hendo

That was some strike. Great save.

4-0 and the 30 mins to go will be tough for Ukraine.

Looks like Henderson does more than card tricks, sing-songs and quizzes in the evening.

To be fair to TM, he is being honest. I don't support England, nor oppose them. I think they will get to the final for sure now, and possibly win. Good chance.

Does he do card tricks' - Roy Keane ridicules England's Jordan Henderson decision ahead of Euro 2020.

At 4 nill, you need to let that go. I'm nearly 50. An Irishman, but they are going to win this game comfortably because they are the better team. That said they will be beaten by a better team at some point. I no longer understand the mindset of an English international team losing to Irish delight.

I think the context of that though was that there was a doubt over Hendersons' fitness and there was a consensus that he should be brought over with the team to which Roy's point was 'For what exactly?'

And I'm also being honest, every tournament where England get through we have a thread like this where people claim after every game.

"ah but sure who have they played? Sure they haven't even been tested yet"

I think if England beat Brazil, Spain, Portugal and Italy just to get to the final groupings for the world cup we would still have posters saying the same thing.

I'm 40, so I don't think it will go away. It's not delight at all it's more relief that they don't win a tournament. But yes at least this isn't a dislikeable English team and Gareth seems a real gent.
They'll be the team to beat in the next world cup too, Sancho is just ridiculous and will only improve.
