Such a shame that Slovenia are so abysmal in forward positions.

How is 41yo Pepe playing 120 minutes lmao

That Sesko is sh*t. The next Morata.

That's a rubbish attempt from Sesko tbh. They will rue that...unfortunately.

Martin Keown. "He's like a lion back there". In what way Martin you mindless oaf.

15 minutes still to play and that Ronaldo makes it all about him.

Oblak is an elite goalkeeper, always has been, if you want to win titles you need a goalkeeper on a similar level.

The sooner Ronaldo retires the better for Portugal.  The ball greedy c**t.  The whole teams is ordered to just cross to him and he shoots on sight.  It’s all about him not Portugal.  His team mates must hate him.  Hope he misses another penalty.

International football is lower tier football.

Portugal will lose this shootout.

Maybe not 🤣🤣 maybe we should look at that Portugal keeper!!!

Slovenia defend so well, and their main man doesn't even take the first, second or third penalty, and now they're out.

If Sesko ever becomes available, I don't want us ever signing him. He's a bottler.

I haven't been overly impressed with sesko, been watching him because of the rumours thread we have.

No thank you...glad he signed another year or whatever.

Kepa saves all that too! 

Just seen the highlights, what's up with Jota just running straight at centre backs and they all forgetting how to defend? Thought only our defence could manage something like that. 

I had a nightmare yesterday/today...we need to get Palmer and Gallagher as far away from Southgate as possible and back home.

He will either throw them under the bus or more worryingly train the creativity and drive out of palmer. He'll come back worse...lol 

Fk Southgate...we want our players back.

😆 😂 😆 😂

The reason I can't generally get passionate about England is that I can't overlook those players I dislike. Saka and Kane, Sterling in the past going back to Martin Chivers, Emlyn Hughes, Keegan, and loads more. Bellingham has just become another one 

Keegan? Loved Keegan and his passion and even more after he punched Billy Bremner!!

 

In the I hate to say I said that category France have yet to score a goal from open play. As with PSG the lack of a real centre forward, Mbappe is not really a 9, or a goal scoring midfielder and with Griezman past his peak France have few attacking weapons, or so it seems. Of course they have a great defence and that may be enough.

Portugal shouldn't be starting either Ronaldo, where they have plenty of alternatives, or Pepe. It will cost them, Pepe's slip could already have cost them if Sesko had done the business.

I continue to maintain the English defence will get found out by someone.

Spain do look the most complete team and Germany with Fullkrug are a good side in attack, maybe less so with Havertz. 

Other than Fullkrug I've barely seen an out and out 9  better than Jackson. Or so it seems, obviously that can't be true but it just seems like it.  Mbappe is obviously world class but not really playing like a team player at the moment and doesn't seem anywhere near his best. Lukaku looks way off his peak.

Saka moved further back worked quite well x

No it didn't? He was awful and left Guehi exposed. Eze did a better job at left back than he did.

Played LB then RWB and we went and won. Makes ya think.

Ronaldo is a big baby. Game isn't even over yet.

He must have nightmares about Messi's legions of fans, otherwise why bother at his age.

I find it very interesting that he cannot score in open play so far despite trying so hard.

I can't understand why on 65mins Giroud is not brought on, think with Mbappe's pace and Giroud's aerial ability France are more dangerous.

 

Intriguing matches ahead today, should be good.

Vamos España.

I'd actually start Giroud who could give his all for like 55/60 mins and then bring on the faster, mobile Thuram to deal against a slightly tired defence and has the lungs to deal with an extra time if necessary. I'm pretty sure Oli could've managed to score at least 2 headers by now that Thuram failed to do so.

I miss giroud, he could have been an amazing mentor to the kids. If only he was a few years younger.
