I don't think we've got much chance, but I'll be absolutely delighted to beat them. A 1-0 own goal in the 95th minute would be brilliant.
I don't think we've played well, and it doesn't fill me with confidence. But I'm still happy we qualified. I don't care how we win, I'll enjoy it if we do. But if we win with a lucky/terrible performance, we can still say it was poor despite getting through.
It's about being balanced in your assessment.
I'm sure lots would write it off as lucky / playing Germany at the right time / wouldn't have won if we weren't at home etc. There are people, not saying you're one, who seem to go out of their way to talk opponents up, and put England down. You'd never see them do the same about their club side, but some love having a pop at the national team. Like I say its just a shame when you see how much other nations seem to just get behind their lads regardless of whether they think they can win it or not
 
Most German/Internstional commentators are saying the exact opposite about this German team mind. Collection of individuals who only got the equaliser last night by just just throwing as many strikers on as possible


Jesus, people getting their reasons in already for why Southgate is still shit even if he gets us to the final :lol:

Almost like the bloke doesn’t stand a chance
Don’t mind Southgate at all, just saying the winner of England Germany has a breeze to the final.
 
Germany are a bit average
We are a slight bit above average.
Advantage England... a bit

Wouldn't say its a breeze mind. You'd expect them to beat Sweden (who should get past Ukraine) but they're a fairly decent mob who could cause an upset. The Dutch could definitely be a challenge in a semi final. Don't get me wrong, you'd take them ahead of France, Belgium and probably Italy looking at performances this far, but still wouldn't be easy. Personally I think the Dutch would be harder than Germany
 
Looks like we could be in trouble.

Professor Neil Ferguson has ran the data through his model and is predicting the Germans will score over 700 goals.
 
My first thought too. Can't wait for people born forty years after the War to bang on about "we beat them before! Two world wars" etc. Cringeworthy nonsense
Givng people ideas is not going to help :D

Dainne Abbott agreed.

Aren't the world rankings England 4th and Germany 16th? Should be a walkover
Personally think we'll win but lose to Denmark in the semis
Denmark have been incredibly impressive. Mind, we have to win the next game to even start worrying about that
 
I was at the first 3-0. That and man united away are probably better. Tonight was right up there though. Feel sorry for people who are too cool for international football. Me and my dad (hes a mag, so we have no club memories together) having a f***ing mint time. Memories I'll remember long after he'd gone. Now, wheres the f***ing titty bars in London?
Over the moon for you mate. Witnessed a bit of history right there. Enjoy mate.
