Hmmm , never looked like winning that but if we're going to lose this is obviously the time to do it. Hope Southgate has learned a few things after tonight ahead of the crunch games.

Our players are such good actors that they can pretend to be carp with ease

Still think we're overrated and have problems progressing Mike. The Germans have gone. The Portugese have gone. The Spanish, the Argies, the Brazilians, all gone. But we're still there...……..

I'm very surprised that we reached the semis but I guess you all expected it :D. Delighted to see us do so well.

I had thought we'd get as far as the quarters with a fair wind and a bit of luck and lived in hope of making the semi's but never really expected it. Now I honestly believe we really could come home with that big lump of hold.

If we're to get to win the semi final and the final, we'll need to retain possession much better. We gave the ball away way to easily in the second half. I think Sterling has been under unnecessary criticism, he works hard, chases the ball and wins it back. His biggest problem is that he doesn't pass the ball and ends up losing it. Should have set Kane up on a plate when he messed up his 1 on 1.

He hasn't got a clue what he's going to do with the ball when he gets it. That is the problem.

How good is Harry Maguire? He is having an unbelievable WC, Leicester will have trouble holding onto him

I've said that before and therefore ageee wholheartedly. He has got a lot of good qualities but as soon as he has to think what to do he's farked. I've also said before I'd never back him with a one on one with a keeper : he freezes.
