    @MiketheSnow Today's George Graham?

    It's funny how average players can make a big difference on the international stage. In the Netherlands Turkey match, it was Wout Weghorst. He changed the point of attack in the 2nd half where the turks weren't as comfortable dealing with his height and aerial balls/crosses across the face of goal, and it got the Netherlands home.

    It's where someone like Harry Maguire would be handy for England. He'd be a nightmare at set piece for the Dutch if he were there, especially with the way the Dutch conceded their goal at the far post with all their little men defending there.

    If only they had a tall bloke who can head the ball

    Oh wait, Harry, you’re up son

    Unfortunately he’s been mostly anonymous

    He needs to find some of his Bayern form

    Schnell, schnell

    Spain did enough. They will be tough to beat. Mbappe with a great chance to equalise but fluffed it.

    Spain really know how to up the tempo when they need a goal and slow it down and keep the ball when they're ahead. France had a few chances but never really opened them up. That Lamine Yamal looks useful, last game as a 16 year old. Apparently he is youngest player to play a major tournament semi-final (taking Pele's record) and Jesus Navas is the oldest.

    Absolutely superb game, England or Netherlands are going to have to find another gear to compete in the final.

    Both France & Spain looked twice as quick on the ball.

    To be fair, France have been slow until now, so anything is possible.

    Youngest scorer too

    Can’t see either record being broken

    England look good but can’t score. Don’t think that was a penalty really but apparently is according to laws. Cane is a real passenger the way England play. Foden is having a very good game. As the French pronounce it « Feel Fodin »

    England keeps finishing with a better 11 than the starting side.

    Now there's a surprise, but well done England, Southgate finds a way (luckily or otherwise) again to get his team deep into a major comp. Now just to win one...

    Hope we get a better ref for the final. This guy wasn’t that accurate without favouring either of the sides. A classic example was stones clearly heading it out and he called goal kick rather than corner. That sort of thing.
