They're just winning free headers lol Ukraine have a backline full of statues. None of them moving to even react to any cross or corner ball

Say what you want but Albania defend better than this lol

England is good but not 4-0 good. The moment just got to Ukraine. Their game vs the Netherlands was a good indicator of their mental fragility. In that game they came back from 2-0 only to choke at the end lol. Traditional EE team.

It pains me that we’re not in these tournaments. All because we lack 1 good fucking striker. So frustrating.

Even if we had a Dzeko type player I’d be over the moon. Instead we have to watch Balaj and Manaj mess up the basics of football.

Many have tried, many have been denied. England still yet to concede a goal.

Stones and Maguire have been immense. Rice and Phillips rock solid in midfield. Ran over Ukraine but the train rolls on. Keep it up boys!

The kingdom will bow to the Third Italian republic 😜 Apart from Germany, England has had the easiest path so far to the final. Germany has been a shadow of themselves for a while and probably all this arrogant confidence will hurt them.

The England team do not have arrogant confidence, I guess from Italy it may seem like that but dismissing their run as the easiest when its been at the same level of the Italian run is just dumb. Italy played Turkey , the Swiss and Wales in the group which I'd argue is around the same as the Czechs, Croats and Scottish .

Time to give England their respect.

Italy rolled over the Swiss who took both France and Spain to penalties. Italy also played Belgium while England played Ukraine to make the semis. England are still impressive but they haven't really been challenged much in their bracket, other than Germany who are a shadow of their former selves.

And England easily dealt with Croatia who then gave Spain a hard game, you can dismiss Germany but at the end of the day its Germany and England have historically never done well against them that was a huge game for the English. You could just as easily dismiss Austria like you've done to Englands opponents.

Next up you'll say its "just Denmark"

Well, Denmark lost two of their 3 group games ad they were playing at home. I can picture Southgate walk into the dressing room and just say "Lads it's Denmark" :zgerdhimje:

I think that's slightly unfair to Denmark considering what happened to them, since then they've been dominant.

The point remains , England have not had an "easy" run , because if their run was easy then so was Italy's. Both teams have played so well and deserve all the respect they are getting.
