UKRAINE
Probably the biggest underdogs left in the competition, scraping through in the final 3rd place spot and then winning the easiest last 16 match versus 10 men. They do have some players that could cause England danger. Yarmolenko has looked lively in this tournament but he went off injured versus Sweden, so they’ll hope he’s fit for this one, it might have been cramp. Zinchenko was heavily involved in their win over Sweden, getting a goal and an assist. They’ve already exceeded expectations getting this far but as we’ve seen so far, nobody is guaranteed a win.

Form at Euro 2020:
Netherlands 3-2 Ukraine
Ukraine 2-1 North Macedonia
Ukraine 0-1 Austria
Sweden 1-2 Ukraine

Euro 2020 goal scorers:
Andriy Yarmolenko – 2
Roman Yaremchuk – 2
Oleksandr Zinchenko – 1
Artem Dovbyk -1


ENGLAND
England’s only game away from Wembley will be this one in Rome. History was made in the last round, the first time they’ve beat Germany in the knockouts since the 1966 World Cup. There were many brilliant performances, Sterling, Walker, Stones, Maguire, Shaw and Grealish to name a few. Sterling in my opinion is player of the tournament for England and in with a shout for the award if England go far. I’m still not sold on what Southgate did against Germany, we could have been a bit more adventurous and still won. That said, the results speak for themselves and overall Southgate has done a great job, particularly off the field and behind the scenes. England haven’t scored many but they’ve not needed to, the defence has been solid.

Form at Euro 2020:
England 1-0 Croatia
Scotland 0-0 England
Czech Republic 0-1 England
England 2-0 Germany

Euro 2020 goal scorers:
Raheem Sterling – 3
Harry Kane – 1

If England win this, then there's a legitimate argument that Southgate is in top 3 England managers of all time results wise. It would be 3 semi finals out of 4 (including Nations Leagues). He's also won knockout games as England manager. Beat Germany. And won 2 penalty shootouts.


Southgate despite everything maybe deserves a little more respect. But also it really makes you think how much England have underperformed historically.

Statistically you are right but give any England manager the route they had had to the semis in both tournaments and I would imagine the majority would do the same.

He’s been a very fortunate England manager and I don’t think the success he has had in stats has anything to do with his managerial ability.

He’s clearly a nice guy and watching the behind the scenes clips at St George’s Park it’s clear he’s created the first positive England bubble since Euro 96 so he deserves credit for that.

With the talent at our disposal,we should piss it and continue to the final.Although im sure Southgate will do his best to ensure its not that straightforward.
