Has there ever been a knockout run like it in history? Southgate owes his reputation to it.

That's even excluding all the Panama-Slovenia level dross they contrived to draw in every group too.

Yip, the only impressive result in there is Germany.  Even then, they got to play them at home.

It's not even just the easy run, Harry Kane joining a team that wins everything and managing to win nothing also has a Hibs and Scottish Cup inevitably about it.

England were dung and deserved to lose.

They are eye bleedingly bad.

Harry Kane is a shitebag.

All quotes from my missus tonight.

It was also an absolutely terrible Germany team, that stank the Nations League out so badly they had to change the format to stop them getting relegated to a diddy tier.

What was the actual recorded time difference between penalty 1 and penalty 2 of the shoot-out, and why was that c**t's c**t Pickford not booked for wasting time accordingly? 

Those antics in no way excuse the abject penalty strike by the Nazi gold smuggler, but is another example on top of Bellingham's 'celebration' (v Demiral's) that rules simply are not being applied consistently or equally in this competition.

Just as well they've got Brazil 1970 in the semi final, to stop them spawning their way to a tournament victory over a 90 minute final then. 

Oh wait it's another second rate outfit, who will in all likelihood lose a few players to injuries/suspensions before that game anyway. 

It is the depth of England's squad that makes their path to the final ludicrous.

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.

Anger management. Go on. Give it a try.

This England team is like Manchester United under Ole.

They rely on great organisation. Team spirit and individual moments of brilliance.

I have to say, though, very much like when Ole was in charge, that type of football can only take you so far.

Generally, the England fans don't deserve Gareth Southgate. 3 semi finals is insane.

He could win Euro 24, World Cup 26 then go and cure cancer and he would still be generally hated by England fans.

As a Scotland fan, I want him to leave ASAP.

It's untrue, rather than insane.

He's currently on one in a row.  They exited the last tournament at the quarter final stage.

Also, gotta say that it puts our result with the Swiss into perspective.

We were within the width of a post and a Ralston mistake from all three points.

Yep.

I edited it.

It was also 3 and not 4.

They've gone further in tournaments while looking like they might actually win games, but they've been largely awful at this tournament.  The semi-final is shaping up to be which side can just be slightly less shit than the other, and it wouldn't surprise me if England do just that, and let the media talk about how they're clicking at the right time.

The final has the potential to be interesting (something has to be this tournament).  You'd imagine Spain should be there, and if they've gotten past France, you'd imagine they'd be licking their lips to go at England in a final.  But France just seem to have the knack of doing the absolute bare minimum and going through.  from then, they could either play like it's a World Cup final and pump whoever is in front of them like they did with Croatia (and threatened to do against Argentina) or play like it's a Euros final, and just not turn up.

If they fucking win this...
