You parked the bus in the second half though, for some unknown reason.
Ref helped you drive it forward in the end though.

Walker was offside
Crucial touch by Mainoo leading to the goal.
Super sub Watkins, that strike just looks even better every time you see it.
On balance the Dutch shaded the second half but England were ripping them apart in the first half. You'd say it was a deserved win although really both teams were just looking for a moment in the second half.
Southgate juju vs Spain then.
So, it is something?
No we didn’t. We didn’t have the creativity to break you down. You guys were so negative.
If he wins the final.
England should thank this referee today.
Koeman is a genius for bringing in 2 strikers when the game was effectively over. Who’s the next coach for Netherlands now? Van Gaal?
The caf convinced itself Mount would be a good "number 8" last year. You can never underestimate the summer transfer window and the delusions it brings.
And Ollie Watkins
Imagine Mainoo feeding Watkins…
Holland didnt park the bus, they attacked just didnt know how.
Good win for us that, hopefully Zirkzee and De Ligt are on the first flight to Manchester in the morning.
Come on Tim!!!
Ah brilliant. I’m gonna enjoy this whilst I can.
Can’t really imagine he’s suddenly going to bench Kane.
Can only best what is in front of you though, regardless of the luck of the route, to be so relatively consistent is also something not to be underestimated
England was far better in the first 45 minutes.
Second half was atleast equal.
With his history and the way the referee was going about, you would think he was bribed again. Hopefully and most likely he was just shit
England/Watkins individual quality wins it in the end. Fantastic goal

Strange take as it was definitely your lot that shut up shop at half time
Rashford's job that.
Yes there are mitigating circumstances but still, the record is the record. Nobody else in history has done this with England.
I agree, around 60 minutes, Palmer and Watkins for Saka and Kane I would have done.
Parked the bus?! We just defended, give your team some credit.
Commiserations, but you played a mostly bad game. Surreal to see rubbish Dutch sides. Not befitting of your history.
Oh god this is so beautiful. I don't know if anyone under the age of 30 can fully understand how brilliant this feeling is
King Cnut showed the sea who was boss, England did the same tonight
You’re definitely dedicated to your trolling. Would like to see the BDL defend the referee representative of the Bundesliga tonight, he clearly shows the whole German game is
Ruined your summer this hasn’t it? You’ve had a bit of a meltdown tonight
England's dominance reduced when they brought Shaw on. The Dutch played like Ten Hag's United though.
The penalty was a farce but the winning goal was a gem.

Yup. You can't reason with a mob.
Netherlands better before pen, England took the absurd decision to which Netherlands collapsed from it to dominate the rest of the first.... the second was downright horrific stuff though. The penalty call was downright hideous, I can't pull an Ian Wright and defend it just because patriotism..
fecking strike from Ollie though.

I thought Holland could have been more attacking.
Extra time would have been mad for you guys based on Koeman’s emergency subs. Hard to see how he would have lined up!
A fair analysis that.
What a goal from Watkins, best team by far went through.
People are really in Zirkzee's transfer thread criticising him for his performance. Embarrassing.
Holland were poor, England although fortunate at times were the better team.
Spain the best team in the tournament should win but you just never know in a final.
Will be deviating for England if they lose a second final in a row, dont think they will ever get that monkey of their back if they lose this one.
