For any of the English lads here, is this actually that enjoyable for you? 

Surely it's clear as day that you ultimately won't win the tournament playing like this?

Not going to give a f**k if they win it are they. 
 

I have the fear lads, the real fear.

5 games in and they haven't played well in 1 of them, yet get a draw of Slovakia, Switzerland and know no doubt Turkey.

Surely luck can only last so long

Meh, they've been fortunate but they're not even the worst side in the semi finals. At least they've scored 5 goals. France are in the semis without a goal from open play in the tournament! Fully expect them to make the final.

No I don't even support them.

Over the years the team and their unpleasant fans have drained every bit of enjoyment out of it. I never watch them anymore.

They wrote off Switzerland yet are now celebrating as if they are great underdogs having beaten them on penalties.

My daughter and middle son are in holiday with their mum down in Gt Yarmouth.

The site has a power cut just as it's gone to penalties

I hear you but with Netherlands / Turkey, Spain / France to get past I can't see how they can win it based on what we've seen so far.

They're winning despite Southgate and I honestly would drop Kane for Watkins or Toney. To not have brought any subs on when the game was drifting away from them and only when going behind, highlights the main problem for them.

Have faith in the footballing gods.

I've called every one right so far. Unfortunately, I don't have a hotline to the Swiss team.

Get that sorted with the Dutch/Turks for the semi.

England, with its population of over 57 million has now played against five sides at this tournament.  I think it's fair to say that England has been the poorer side in each of those matches.  The countries they've played have a combined population of around 29 million. 

Don't tell me England won't win this thing.  They bloody will.

Read every thread involving England on P&B over the past 4 international tournaments and this is all you will read.

Play the long game.

Them being in the final last time out was enough anxiety for me, thank you very much. And then when they went 1-0 up...havn't I suffered enough...

Think I'll settle for the game on now and France v Spain and call the tournament finished at that.

I am. That's why I've long felt they must win one soon.

They've been so consistently poor and fortunate in this tournament that it just feels inevitable that this will be the one. 

 

That's Turkey ahead now.  This really could be some route to the final for them.

It is frustrating and baffling.  The current enjoyment is seeing players I like do ok and/or avoid criticism.

I mean France have played Belgium, Portugal, Netherlands and Austria - so at least three teams better than England have faced in the entire competition so far.

Iceland 2024 beat them couple of weeks ago.

In a completely irrelevant friendly match. But aye you just hold on to that comfort blanket as they parade from one spawny result to another in an actual major tournament.

France have been tedious beyond belief but have quite clearly played at a higher and more competent overall level of performance than England. They didn't have a group comprised entirely of dogshit outfits and weren't 60 seconds from being eliminated by a minnow. 

The issues are that in a 90 minute one-off match such a difference doesn't count for much; and the gulf isn't as large as it could be because Deschamps is almost as fraudulent a manager as Sir Waistcoat.
