Did we beat Scotland, then? |  | |  |

They do seem to have shut up about Sterling, though. Yet they all still seem to think we should play Grealish and Foden with Calvert-Lewin and tear teams apart like Portugal, France and the Netherlands have. |  |

Sigh. I've had a beer or 5 and am having a good time. You know what I meant but I will edit it thanks. Edit: morally we did, yes. [Post edited 29 Jun 2021 19:01]

Because drawing with scotland counts as a win |  | |  |
God, it’s hard work watching us on 19:01 - Jun 29 with 2678 views | Superblue95 | England have been nowhere near as defensive as people are making out. Deserved to go through tonight and now have a favourable run to the final too! |  |

We've already done that one. You're a bit late - good effort though. Guess you're sad that people are enjoying today. |  |

No, he did what he set out to do, which was to neutralise the Germans down the wings and counter. We can't complain so far. |  |

We didn't play Hollywood football - but we played MUCH better than you're giving credit for. |  |

Let's not get too carried away and remember that these teams we are going to play are there because they have won through so far. This result and the manner of it gives me some confidence but it certainly is not an altogether easy path. |  |

I enjoyed the game and the result was just correcting your error 😉 |  | |  |

God, it’s hard work watching us on 19:09 - Jun 29 with 2568 views | BlueandTruesince82 | Nah we played well today. Not the best German side, it close for long periods but we played well. Defended well, Rice and Phillips superb absolute rocks and Sir Raheem Stirling of Wembley a cut above |  |

You didn't correct my error. That was already done. England beat Germany 2-0 and your first thought was to post that after it was already resolved. What a way to enjoy life. |  |

Practice. Lots of practice. |  |

God, it’s hard work watching us on 19:30 - Jun 29 with 2407 views | Guthrum | In fairness to Chrisd, for much of the first half we were passing it backwards a lot, very slow play, giving away the ball too often. But ... we kept it tight in defence, Pickford was excellent, absorbed German pressure, then were able to turn it on in the later stages with enough flair to get the goals and win the game. Arguably, that's the right approach for tounament play, where conserving energy, efficiency and peaking at the right time are the most important things to do. |  |

God, it’s hard work watching us on 19:33 - Jun 29 with 2368 views | chrismakin | Tbh not sure what you've that's so wrong. Could we win it. Sure. Is it fun no. Does it matter if it's fun no. |  |
