    1-1 at full time. We score 2 in extra time and win 3-1.

    My head says Spain but I honestly think we’ll do it if he starts Watkins up top.

    It’s not an anti-Kane thing I’ve just watched a lot of the Spanish & they press really high & I think Watkins could exploit the space where as Kane hasn’t got the pace to.

    It would take some huge balls to leave Kane on the bench but I think it’s the right call against Spain.

    Get a lead on the counter attack & then take Watkins off for Gordon when Watkins starts flagging.

    Counter attack is the way to beat Spain.

    Watching at the fan mile in front of Brandenburg Gate. It’s about 10 minutes from my flat

    My main group of mates here consists of a Scot, a Welshman and a German. Early group games aside, so far the banter has been all mine. We’re all heading there to watch the game together tomorrow…

    2-1 England AET

    Said we'd win it form the start. We'll win it.

    A Scot, Welshman and a German walk in to a pub.

    There would have been an English man as well but they are still in the tournament.

    Watching in the New Barrack Tavern which is a stone’s throw from Hillsborough and will be full of Wednesday fans. But it’s been lucky for the last 2 games and I’ll be wearing this regardless. BCD24C14-5EB7-49CE-AAFD-4DF191B6FA89.jpeg

    I don’t know mate? I like Gareth, but today’s press conference, sounded more like Sir Keir?
    & I hate to say it, but he needs to get a bit more Nigel..? :eek:
    I would just let them loose. Let them play their club games.. Get it won by half time, then go Southgate & see it out.?

    Best player for any team in the tournament has been Kobbie Mainoo, and you've dropped him.

    The Netherlands who only finished 3rd in their group as opposed to a Spain who've won all 5 matches inside 90.minutes? Not seeing the logic in that one.

    You've only picked one team and you're already bowing to pressure :D:D

    Trying to look outside the box...Spain are hot favorites for a reason. They are the best team in the tournament so far. Have England the answers ...attack wise hell yes but defensively against Spain...I'm not so sure.
    I'll go Spain 2..0...hope I'm wrong...taking them to pens wouldn't be a disaster imho

    Every misplaced pass and tackle will be Southgate's fault and any open, exciting football will be in spite of him,

    It's BBS Law....

    Probably. It’s a Belgian song that doesn’t mean anything in Spanish.

    I know, Gareth’s got bigger balls than me. It’s my own naive fault for thinking we could start with 2 strikers.? I was properly schooled..:oops:
