Yeah I always suspected a late goal would take them out sometime. It's weird he seems to play for a draw I think anyone else would want a solid goal or two lead.

Southgate's mentality midget tactic of sitting back the moment they equalize is fucking egregious

There's a really interesting (if a little overblown) piece in The Guardian - basically arguing that England's entire failure can be attributed to (or at least embodied by) one throw in that Kyle Walker took not long after the equaliser. Instead of chucking it into the box, he threw it 40 yards back to Stones, who gave it back to keeper, and England didn't touch the ball in Spain's half again for about 15 minutes.

Finals are often tense affairs so you're probably right, it's rare to get something like Argentina - France. At least Spain has been playing well so far, which gives me a bit of hope. Though I imagine England will try their best to underwhelm.

Not quite as good, but still a very nice goal! Certainly more difficult to score that way!

Yeah he's been disappointing

I wouldn't say he's been a disappointment. His role as a striker has always been more akin to what he's shown in this tournament than what some might expect of him, and especially with this team you could predict that his playing time would mostly be spent on refining offensive possession rather than scoring.

Same here ha ha

There's a couple attempts, great saves. Far from the worse game of the Euro this year.

I know the rules are the rules, but the knee feels like just chance honestly. Certainly nothing that should dictate the outcome of the game.

not really; 30 minutes of decent football (which is kind of expected considering the quality Southgate had available) and nothing more.
