    That’s the best half of football involving England I’ve seen

    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.

    Yep, that highlighted how ineffective Kane has been.

    A repeat of the Women's WC final. I am expecting the same result.

    Just with that move for the goal, Watkins showed what England have been missing. Someone who runs, who shows for the ball and is a threat - a real striker's goal when England spent most of the second half not looking like they wanted to score.

    Fabulous winner by Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins. England owes a lot of gratitude to Unai Emery for turning Watkins from a frustrated bench player under Steven Gerrard into a world-class goal scorer.

    He's different gravy.

    But Cane's a much better Openside Flanker.

    On the corners, this is where VAR should intervene as goals have been scored from corners that should have been goal kicks. The TV replays confirm which player had the final touch almost immediately.

    It was an interesting game - great first half but mainly because the Dutch got their formation wrong and England always had a man over at the edge of the box. Bellingham, Foden, Saka were pulling the strings and it looked like England had to get a 2nd. Then Koeman took off Malen and put on an extra midfielder and suddenly the space wasn't there. Second half became more cagey and without looking particularly dangerous, the Dutch were in the ascendancy and creating set pieces. Thought Southgate left it too late with his subs but as against Slovakia, he has the midas touch.

    England have a chance in the final, Spain can be put under pressure in the same way as any other team. The issue will be getting hold of the ball though and England might need to set up more defensively to avoid being sliced up by Spain. So Spain slight favourites but hopefully it is a good final.

    It's coming home! (to Madrid most likely).
