The only reason you think England aren't that bad is that the overall standard is lower than normal.
Spain look good and even they don't look as good as Spain teams from previous years.
Portugal Italy France Germany Netherlands not at their best and this England are no great shakes.
They can still go on to win the tournament but its not a vintage England team
Christ it was absolutely shocking ! Embarrassing.Better performance?
My hub just said the same....Can someone get Trent an interpreter
They're 8 hours behind so it probably hasn't started over there yet.Not sure who the Yank presenter is on Fox but he clearly wasn't watching the game because he said England played well and deserved to win.
England have some fucking absolute bellends playing for them, I fucking hate them.
I hope they get to the final and Spain take the piss out if them. They won't get a fucking kick of the ball.
Strange decision and a really shitty penaltyWhy did the Swiss pick Akanji a central defender to take the first pen?
Not retrospect this (honest), I thought it as soon as he stepped up.
Spain looking the best but anything can happen in a final. I think we do it. I’ve always had a feeling this is our yearFrance are pretty much as underwhelming as us. No doubt about it. I'll say it again — it's Spain's to lose.
You are Marti Pellow, and I claim my prize.Lucky Lucky Lucky.
Glad we got through but fucking Lucky.
England played better in 1966 and there is a comparable disparitiy in the levels of fitness.Come on mate. Hating England is so Scouseresque. We haven't won feck all for near 60 years
I thought he did well at dropping deep and linking up play, but according to twitter and reddit, he was shit. So I don't know.
Look mate, I was born in 1972, too young to remember City winning the ‘76 league cup, was nearly 40 before our next trophy and watched England winning nothing every 2 years since 1982. After suffering so long with club (until 2011) and country I would take a stinky win next weekend.France and England stinking it out all the way to the final
He’ll be on after his shower with Gareth ; )He's very quiet tonight. Odd.

I thought they'd put Xhaka up firstWhy did the Swiss pick Akanji a central defender to take the first pen?
Not retrospect this (honest), I thought it as soon as he stepped up.
