Well done the Scots. England better sort out how to breakdown some canny resolute park the bus defending.

England were way too slow with their ball movement. When you have a team that plays so many behind the ball and tries to counter you, you need to move it quicker, try to break open that structure but they moved in so slow. Even the few times where they broke quickly, for some reason when going into the final 3rd, the wingers stopped, propped and passed it back.

I don't think England were aggressive enough and weren't courageous enough to take the game on as they didn't want to lose the game.

What does it take for Southgate to substitute Sterling? I thought he was awful and should have been taken off.

Kane another disappointment so far.

Nice to see Ze Churmans wallop the Portuguese last night.

This Jack Grealish will he or won't he is death by a thousand rumours. Can't take it much longer....

C'mon we all know England will lose to the Germans on penalties tonight :)

Welsh out, 4:0 to Denmark. Shame for them but maybe the Danes can repeat their legendary Euro winning performance on the back of the Christian Erickson pathos. Italians needed extra time to beat the Austrians.

The Chermans might do that on Wednesday (hope not) but the torture I speak of is the prospect of those City pricks picking up Grealish with their silly money when Villa are just settling in. EPL is brutal.

Gotcha... well I'm not sure if Grealish would fit the City template but who knows, if they have the money why not.

Sucked in Germany !!

Bit lucky Muller didn’t make it 1-1 but who cares. Thought Pickford was gonna burst a vein screaming at his defenders throughout the game.

OMG redemption feels great (when I don't feel tired haha). 55 years and those penalty shootouts that hurt so much.

Lucky as you say with the Muller one, but thought we were the better team across the full 90 mins. I was worried after the 1st 15 mins when they completely dominated but we got into the game slowly.

Shout out to Raheem Sterling, a guy who is perceived as consistently underperforming for the national team - scored in every England win so far. I'm still holding out hope that England will crash and burn in the quarters and semis :D

England have never lost a game in which Sterling scores, so I'm hoping he scores in all our remaining games ;)

If he does that, the queen will knight him Sir Raheem.

Nervous about tonights game.

Away from Wembley, playing a good team (though we are favourites). These are usually the games that England drop. Fingers crossed this is a "new England".

Thought the Poms were a bit lucky this morning. Think the ref jumped on the whistle a bit early on that penalty. Wasnt a lot in it.

Anyway, fear they may get flogged but hope they can pull it off against Italy.

Best thing for the poms was going down a goal early. Hard to see them beating Italy but perhaps on home turf they can make it interesting.
