Good luck from Northern Ireland. Hope you guys win tonight!

Gracias!

I woild venture Foden is due a good where he produces a goal, and assist, both or multiples there of.

All of the other attackers used have provided that key ingredient. About time he steps up and rewards the faith Southgate gives to him.

Williams vs Walker and Saka vs Cucurella shoild be entertaining. Along with which wondrkid produces more? Yamal or Mainoo?

Nothing's going to happen until he brings Palmer on 

The Germans are still booing Cucurella. 

They know how to hold a grudge.

Whoever they are, I admire their perseverance. It must be exhausting keeping that up for the entire match.

Poor start from England. Southgate has them set up with fear 

First 10 all Spain

Would have been so different if only McGuire had been available....

As proven in 1939

I'm watching the BBC, but I may switch to my Dutch channel. I'm already fed up with Alan Shearer calling every English pass brilliant.

Good job by England so far. You knew Spain would come flying out of the blocks, they have basically every game. Gotta withstand that initial wave the slowly push them back.

Love the boo-hoo gesture from Carvajal 

The Spanish shirts seem to have the Aston Villa sweat problem 

Todd, egghead, Winstanley, Stewart, forget the salary cap, dig deep and go get Williams.  This guy is fantastic.  Has completed virtually every pass and looks dangerous every time he gets the ball.

Whenever I see him Nico Williams looks the real deal. Would help raise us to another level

I heard Foden had a good 45 minutes against Holland. Apparently because the Dutch gave him loads of space. Spain haven't been that niaeve or generous.

So he has gone straight back to being sh*te again.

Kane seems to br struggling with the pace of the game.

It's been haunting me for weeks: what exactly is the point of those quick close ribbons on England's jackets? Do the players keep their diamond ear studs in their breast pocket? Or a chocolate bar? A letter from their mum?

It's a new football thing I think...even one of the chelsea jackets has it. Was tempted but they didn't have the black one in stock.

That cross with the outside of his right foot was gorgeous. No lift before the hit or anything. Just ankle....lovely cross.

And yep....ffs Shearer is just too much!

Everything England do is gold coated, Spain is mehhh!!!

Credit to England so far for dragging Spain down to our level 🙂 

Do like the look of Nico Williams. Light years better than our current left wing options ...

He's been a paasenger for the whole tournament

John Stones charging forwards and taking on Spanish players. Isn't that what Phil Foden is supposed to do? 

Two great runs from Walker in the last 15 minutes, both totally ignored by Saka LOL

I have no problem with that.  You expect utter bias from your own countrymen. I'll wager Spanish TV isn't pontificating about England's great rear guard performance!

A shot on target
