Tbh that was a great finish for the second goal.

Spain shouldnt have issues with this England side, although they played ok-ish in the first half.

Spain will do them in the final. And England will never recover imo. They'll get slapped in US World Cup too. They have the talent , but will they hire a competent coach.

If anyone thinks current De Vrij is good enough to start for Inter he should think again
always said it. People do not believe me when i say that we need a CB. Acerbi is too old and coming back from an surgery, he won't be starter again probably...

De Vrij won all his duels before that tbh. Was the best orange player.

When English players got rewarded instead of punished for diving, time after time after time after time again, while Dutch players like Gakpo and Simons didn't even hear the whistle after seriously getting whacked, it already became abundantly clear which team was scripted to win tonight.

The extremely soft and dubious penalty being an easy present for the ref to unwrap, in what feels like the most obviously fixed match I've seen in years.

A fixed match against a pathetic and extremely unbearable team, undeserved 91st minute winner after they did fuck all in the entire half. Of course it just had to be like this again, the curse of the Oranje.

DeVrij has always been 95% rock 5% unreliable all these years with us. Under Conte he was the best CB in Serie A.

England cannot win.

This is pure talent and beautiful game , highly talented coach, sunny weather, beautiful Spanish ladies dancing flamenco vs UK's yuck morning bean's on plate, rainy weather 24/7 , overweight overtattooed Trainsspotting street girls throwing up in a corner of Fish and Chips deli and 7Eleven.

Gareth F Southgate cannot shithouse this!!

We played badly the first half but holy shit we got fucked.

De Vrij played a very good tournament but these are the moments which are decisive and he wasn’t hungry enough imo and is to blame that the shot is possible. Other than that this Dutch team lacks quality and a coach with balls!!

Do they not give free kicks in the penalty box anymore? Shot had already gone out.
The second goal was some Icardi stuff

This is England's best team in a long time because they finally have a functioning midfield. Spain is the favorite and rightly so, or should be (I haven't looked at the odds) but England has the players to get this done.

I expect this one will be memorable. Spain's weakness is defense in transition, and England has the horses to hurt them. On the flipside Spain is relentless. Should make for one hell of a final.

Trainspotting is definitely Scottish along with irnbru

But I always thought 7eleven was an American thing.

We had a couple growing up but have not seen one since the mid 90's.

All we have now is express versions of the big supermarkets oh and not to forget Spa and corner shops

Cucurella.

Two wrongs don't make one right. You can shout Cucurella till the next Euro if you want but fact remains England got an undeserved ref call in another Euro semifinal.

People talking UEFA helping England to win and also they will cheer for Spain (while we have Cucurella case at the same time) to save football are either having short memory or sun burnt their brain recently.

De Vrij has a history with these moments. But the goal yesterday was 95% on Watkins IMO. Great finish and he chose the only outcome wich would result in a goal.

De Vrij had a good tournement tho. One of our best players alongside Verbruggen, Aké, Schouten, Gakpo and van de Ven.

But my god, we where fucked by the ref yesterday. What the fuck was he doing?
