England are capable of playing a lot better than they are showing. Luckily for England's perspective the Dutch midfield wasn't particulary outstanding and their attack wasn't any better.

England especially first half played well, but they will have to raise their game on Sunday. Spain have a better team and manager and I expect them to win, but it won’t be a walk over.
 
Obviously very happy we’re through to the final but a more ridiculous penalty decision you will never see.

And please, the media … shut the fuck up about Bellingham. Aside from a fortuitous over head kick, he’s done absolutely shit all. Behave yourselves because you play a large part in the guy behaving like an arrogant twat.

FWIW I wasn't being critical of Foden the player (he was the best player in the 1st half). I was critical of some of the things he did in the second half, specifically holding onto the ball for too long (he's learned that from Bellingham). Whether you're a City fan or not surely you can see he wasn't the same force in the 2nd half, his replacement came on, did make the pass early and it set up the winner.

And yes Rice had a shocker. He was very poor for most of the match.

To be fair the Dutch closed the middle with a DM to stop those balls through the middle….hence Foden having to move right…

Only Spain can beat themeselves. Saying that England did perform well in that half but the Dutch did cope with what England were throwing at them. It was enough for Southgate to hastily sub on Shaw at half time despite the dominance.

Phil was ineffective in the second half because waistcoat changed the tactics

Phil ran the game 1st half Koeman obviously could see that and squeezed his midfield 2nd half and the spaces were closed off.

"What a route to the final"

eh? An injury time win against slovakia after saving ourselves from elimination with the last kick, a penalty shootout win against Switzerland and a last minute winner against the Dutch after being handed a incredibly suspect penalty. Not that it matters but that might go down as the shittest route to a final ever, what the fuck is he on about?

Greece in 2004. One nil wins in every knockout game including one in extra time.
