Partly because we've got the easier draw I suppose. Spain, Italy and Belgium is definitely a stronger side of the draw than Denmark, Czech Republic and one of Sweden/Ukraine.

It's obviously partly the patriotic quid, but our half of the draw is fairly cosy compared to Italy and Spain.

With the semis and final to be played in London.
No goals conceded is justification enough I suppose.
If they lose 1-0 to Sweden or whoever playing like that then obviously all the hate will be back.
You just don't get a better chance than this really.

Yeah it's one of these approaches you can get away with if you win, but will be vilified for if you lose, especially given have so many players that allow them to play a far more pleasing and fluid style

I wonder who gets the support of the neutrals in Rome?

England were better. I kinda expected the opposite game to the one we got, with Germany controlling more of the ball but giving away a couple of big chances on the counter. The pattern of the game never seemed good for Germany. They’re not really built to withstand that much pressure.

That was fun. Hammered now. Glad we beat them, sorted a rival out. Bring on Ukraine.

Too blood right. I have a feeling the Poms are gonna win the whole thing now. Just has that air about it.
I don't know what Germany were really trying to do apart from the first 10 minutes when they actually looked pretty good. Having said that it could have easily gone the other way.
