don't understand why the dutch are defending so deep now
I have no idea where Harry Kane thinks he is playing.
England's number 9 hugging the touchline. fecking clown.
Holland are kind of awful aren’t they
Mainoo and Foden have made several this game, though.
Problem is Kane’s a statue.
Kane is clearly fecked.
Tripper has been poor (brainless) and so has Rice.
Shaw on the left and Toney up front and we've got a much better chance.

Right wing kane
kane needs to get in the fecking box
The pen was a farce but England clearly the better team so far.
Tonight makes me rather concerned about Utd's all in on Dutch mode, this ain't the Dutch we think they are.
Mainoo and Foden have been good but the Dutch are giving them all the time in the world on the ball. You'll never get this much time on the ball in the premier league. Bonkers tactics from Koeman.
Southgate deserves to be knighted after this game and performance
Trippier - where all things England go to die
This is the worst Dutch side I've seen in years.
Hopefully Kane trips over another box as he comes off the pitch.
To be fair, looks like it's Southgate's system, it's so fluid that any player could find themselves at any position at any time.
Bring Shaw on and England will win this game for sure.
bellingham just ghosting this one.
TAA for Mainoo at HT and we win this!
Thing I find most interesting about Mainoo is that he doesn’t seem to need space around him when receiving the ball. He can absolutely make something out even when surrounded by opposition players.
Shaw would make us even better in the second half.
Also, Kane needs to get in the box, he's there to score goals, we have enough creativity in midfield without the need for him to drop off.

100%
If Shaw comes on we win this with an extra 2 goals easily
Dutch haven’t looked up to much since their goal. England have looked better , don’t know how much the dodgy peno gave them a boost but they’ve certainly used it to stir them on
Dont know. Koeman isnt some tactical genius and most England players are better on a indivual level. And while Koeman is a pretty lucky manager, luck doesnt follow him around as much as it does Southgate.
Looking pretty bleak so far
I don't have that as a penalty.
But it's not a farce. Anywhere else on the pitch and that's a foul all day long. It's one of those ones.
TAA can make the brews at half time
Kane and Trippier off for Toney and Shaw and we win this in the 2nd half. But he'll wait until the 78th minute to make any changes.
At least before Frimpong gets on…
Bellingham and Rice bird poop again. Shows how big a role media plays in how a player is perceived.
Matterface saying that half had flown by. For me, it dragged like a dogs arse with worms on a fresh cream carpet. Same old shite.
Netherlands haven’t done anything for like the last 20 minutes. Feels like they’re just waiting for England to score at this point. Koeman needs to change something
Mainoo brilliant first half.
High chance they will make the final..they've lucked out more with the draw considering they finished 3rd in their group.
Get Mainoo off before England start thinking he's going to be playing for them on the regular.
Dodgy pen aside, we're lucky to still be level. 1-3 would be a more accurate scoreline.
England have actually been half decent despite not having a left side or a striker who wants to play as one. Does make you wonder what they'd be like if Southgate wasn't such a womble.
England's best half of the tournament by a country mile.
