Euro: Semifinals - England v. The Netherlands - July 10

[Satan]

Two of europes best teams make the final but footballs coming home

 

[WTG]

The king of Spain have I always honoured

Southgate's good luck aura is invincible, I fully expect them to get outplayed and luck their way into a win against Spain now.

He'll go with the wrong starting line-up to do it too.

 

[Juve]

Lovely, we have to suffer even more.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Croatia shut them up in 2018.
Italy shut them up in 2021.
France shut them up in 2022.

Time for Spain to put an end to this.

Extend Southgate!

Bellingham’s foot gets stepped on and he’s clutching his shin.

Olympics are around the corner. Good candidate for the diving gold from the 10m springboard.

Well done to the referee for completely changing the course of the game with one of the most bizarre decisions ever.

Normally when a decision despite how ridiculous it is goes in favour of England it's treated as comical something to laugh about.. Put the boot on the other foot and you'll never hear the end of it for decades.

Spain for the win. Yamal, Ruiz, Williams, Oyarzabal will have a field day fingers crossed.

Announcers are obsessed with praising Southgate for his amazing subs ignoring the fact that he wouldn't need "amazing" subs if he actually made normal changes to his starting XI at any point during the tourny.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Extend Southgate!

He'll walk at the end of the tournament regardless of the outcome.

And I'm here for it!

 

[WTG]

England tired, you have Van De Ven on the bench who can kill with speed and you keep him stapled to the bench. Genius move.

 

[Cloned]

There’s a decent chance it’s actually coming home this time. Feels like a team of destiny.

 

[GKJ]

Spain vs. England, just like last year

 

[McGarnagle]

If they didn't add one minute too many of stoppage time in the quarterfinals against Slovakia, we wouldn't have to deal with this

 

[Westlander]

Ugh.

Congrats England, it hurts but I hope you get it done in the final this time

I know I’m a Spurs fan, but it seemed rather obvious to me

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Honestly this is a Dutch team that isn't even at the level that previous Dutch teams that missed out on silverware were. It's a fairly pedestrian side.

As I said at the start of the match, in the end England just has enough quality to be the team more likely to land that lucky punch in the end.

People are incredible naive if they count them out vs Spain.

Southgate is bad, but Koeman is worse.

Don't worry, they added about three less tonight. I can't wait for Koeman's press conference.

Sweet Copium, *whine whine whine*
Winning never felt so good!

With how weak their midfield is they likely would have benefited from bringing Van Hecke and using him as a deep playmaker in a back 3 as well. The guy is unreal at long passes.

 

[Jussi]

I can't stop admiring how precise the Watkins shot was. The kind OGS used to score plenty at United.

 

[les Habs]

Don't worry, they added about three less tonight. I can't wait for Koeman's press conference.

They should sack Koeman and bring Van Gaal in just for the press conference.
