England v Switzerland - Sat 6th July, 17:00 | Euro 2024 Quarter-Final

[Newman Noggs]

From the moment Southgate left Grealish out of the squad I expected cowardly performances like these. Deserved nothing and lucky to progress.

Hard lines for the Swiss. Feel sorry for Akanji. Penalties are an awful way to go out but are great if you stay in. England have been on the other end a fair few times in the past. One thing I will say though, the penalties by the England players were well taken.

How do you say "rosbif" in French?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Why did the Swiss let the centre half take the 1st pen ?

And the second one.

 

[SebastianBlue]

@BlueHammer85 was right all along.

Who knew, eh?

About what exactly?

 

[hilts]

Managed to grab 2nd half of extra time and penalties. Pundits saying we played better today?

 

[ninjamonkey]

Regardless of who goes through in the last game, I dont think there's ever been a poorer semi final lineup in a euros, at least not in my lifetime.

Spain are the only ones who look even mildly competent.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Better performance?

Miles better.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Akanji missed against Spain 4 years ago so no idea why he took one, Xhaka should've been the one, it was a poor penalty after a fantastic tournament from him.

He showed bollocks to take a penalty.

That sums up Xhaka, He's a coward. He's the captain he should have been in tye first five penalty takers.

 

[Crouchinho]

I keep saying if we can play this shit and keep winning I wonder how we could be if we played well?

Still lots of work to do. I'm not sure if you call this efficiency or riding our luck
