Probably England's best performance so far but they're still riding their luck. Substitutions too late again, you could see for 10-15 minutes the game was drifting away from England, and relying on moments of individual brilliance. They're just doing my head in now.

Can't argue with those penalties. Maybe England are just getting it right when it matters most? We don't seem to be playing well but then neither have France.
Hard to see England going any further though. Two periods of extra time won't help.

Easy does it, why bust a nut when you can play light and still glide into the semis

After a strong first half mainly due to going behind early the manager duly made alteration’s at half time to make sure we went back into negative mode without any efforts on goal.

Wonderful finish, deserved it though I was screaming for Southgate to be reactive quicker to the changes made in shape by Koeman to stifle the game second half!

The only manager who did that was Koeman. He changed his formation and personnel to make his team difficult to play through. The swap of Trippier for Shaw was one that was obviously needed. Trippier looks like a fish out of water on that side. Even a half-fit Shaw is a better option.

Got to give Southgate all the credit for that.
Excellent win.

Watching as a neutral, and obviously I don't watch as much England as a lot of you chaps but is it not time to change Kane for a younger model?
I realise he scored a hatful of goals in Germany last year but he doesn't look very mobile.
I think Holland benefited from Depay going off injured. It just appears some players, Depay, Ronaldo, Kane are undroppable (is that even a word)

Southgate has made mistakes in this tournament, but if you're going to make mistakes, make them in the games where you can get away with it. Previously, the criticism has been that he's got it wrong in big games, but tonight he got it spot on.
Karma for 1993 for Koeman, as let's be honest that was never a penalty in the first half, but England deserved the win.

To be honest I don't really care about the penalty, studs showing or not showing gone in high or low, blocking or intent who gives a shit apart from the Netherlands. We never called that decision and that was down to VAR and the Ref, we have had so many bad decisions go against us over the years and as we all know sometimes you need luck on your side. As for Southgate yeah It's not been great but France made the semi's without scoring a goal in open play, again you make your own luck at times and at least we have scored goals, so what do I say ? COME ON ENGLAND AND FUCK THE PRESS AND THE SCEPTICS 😂😂😂😂

It just appears some players, Depay, Ronaldo, Kane are undroppable (is that even a word) His game doesn't really suit our style in my opinion. At Bayern they play on the front foot, getting the ball in the box from all angles. As soon as Watkins came on he made diagonal runs, which is much more effective given the way we play. Regarding the penalty, I don't think it should be a penalty, but given the current rules, it was a penalty.

Absolutely we had some shockers against us about time something went our way and hopefully we've pu the penalty shoot out jitters to bed as well. If we play like we did in 1st half on Sunday there is no reason why we can't win this, roll on Sunday
