I like to keep grounded and not let my emotions get away with me. If you dont contemplate the car coming, you get run over.
The second half here has been entertaining. I'm not even slightly nationalist, so I really (genuinely) don't care who wins it. (Although I'd prefer it wasn't Spain
)I've said since the beginning I watch this tournament to be entertained. England tonight have entertained (in fits and starts). I think we all agree they have played some dire games, esp the group stage.
That's why I never agree with the people who say, "I'll take a dull 1-0 victory thanks very much." With the amount of money in the English league, and the value of this squad, they should be able to entertain. Tonight they have - I'll give them credit for that (the first half not so much!).
P.S. I like high-scoring games. Doesn't everybody?

Ukraine have the twelfth best league in Europe, qualified top of their Euro qualifiers and 24th best team in the world. Okay they are no top top team but to say they are terrible isn't really fair. All this whilst half their country is at war.
Denmark will be a whole different level though.

Why did Pickford jump up like that?

Brilliant
Well, it's getting on for the stage where I'm happy enough with whoever wins. Obviously England is my first choice, but Denmark winning this tournament would be a hell of a story, I put some money on Italy before the tournament so that would be ok, and I got Spain in the work sweepstake!

TBH with the talent England have they should be bringing it home.
Denmark at Wembley should be a walk in the park.

Pickford kick and hope.

Classic Everton Pickford is coming out to play for the last 20 mins here.
I'm in that exact same boat.
If England win it, I'm happy because its my home country.
If Denmark win it, it would be an amazing Hollywood-esque event after the start they had
If Italy win it, I'd be happy because they are the team who have impressed me the most
If Spain win it, I'm part Spanish so its partly my heritage so I'm happy. Whoever goes on to win this, its literally a win/win/win/win for me.
at the faux pas of quoting myself, this needs amending - if we beat the italians a better one will be "dive another day".

Does Southgate not like Chilwell? Surely bring him on for Shaw to give him some mins.

Rashford's been shown up in this squad for how poor his ability really is. He's got all the attributes but hasn't got the football brain to go with it. Bit like Theo Walcott.

You'd thought all the England subs would be playing out of their skin to be included in the Semi's. 
Those rankings are a load of ******** though. Belgium 1st, sure.
