Euros

Do we think Harry Kane is world class? Seems mostly a passenger in the English games I’ve seen.
This is a weak German side ripe for the picking.

Aside from that chance I didn’t know he was playing
Germany looking more likely to score
-
Ed Sheeran in the crowd likes England’s shape…
-
Muller mullers a gold plated scoring chance. Sterling just about hero to zero there.
-
Germany are really average. England do the business. Germans have prettier fans…
-
@billy-tell rude!

Military Medium at its finest
Congratulations
You bastards

All to play for as the second half begins
Sweden 1-1 Ukraine

English football fans are the fucking worst. All the expectation and demands of your average All Blacks fan, but without the remarkable history of results to base it on.
4 games. Have not conceded a goal. The wins look even better after the round of 16. Beat Germany to progress. Have the ukraine in the next round while all the other big sides go up the same side of the draw.
And yet I have read a lot of "boring" "dull" "lucky" "game wasn't as good as the games yesterday" shite, and about how they players are no good. Is the entire fan base made up of either the thug/hooligan/patriot types, or the we're-shit-and-this-is-a-waste-of-time-when-does-ManU-play-next types?
Fuck me, this is the 2nd good Tournament run in a row. Just enjoy the fucking ride!

It's the first time England have knocked out a good team since 1966. It's the first time since then that they've knocked out a former Euro or World Cup winner.
Their knockout record is appalling.
Their previous most glorious occasions were either the 1990 'round of 16' 1-0 win in the 119th minute v Belgium, or 0-0 quarter-final v Spain in Euro 96 which they won on penalties (Back when Spain were serial under-achievers themselves).
But, I do support England at football, so I'm happy. Maybe they're easy to support for me because they are usually no threat ... (and childhood influences that made me back them in first place).

That was at Wembley too. And the final (should they make it) is at Wembley too. I am not sure if their path to a potential final is all based at Wembley also. I actually think the fans would take victory very well and just enjoy a rare moment. A bit like the 2003 RWC win, I don't think they crowed about being #1 in the world, but they were just so pleased to have won something

Puts it in perspective when the England win was the first time they have ever progressed in the knock-out stages of the Euros except for beating Spain on penalties in 1996.
Both teams set out today to nullify the other which meant there was very little width on the flanks. England didn't actually fashion a chance in the 2nd half until Sterling scored and then Muller missed a great chance - set up by Sterling. England's defence looks very solid with that back 3 - Maguire and Stones control the air and Walker has the turbo to cover behind although the through ball did look Germany's best hope.
Sterling was excellent today as he often is for England and that opening goal was a pretty one, every player choosing the right pass and a perfect cross by Shaw.
