    Insomnia enabled me to watch both games. The Dutch much better than Romania once they had weathered the early storm but found many ways not to get a second goal. Should be too good for Turkiye who will continue to need goals from corners - that being said, Hakan Çalhanoğlu is their class in midfield and he was suspended for today's game.

    Austria certainly threw a lot towards the end and extra time would have been fair - fantastic save though.

    All quarters as expected except I thought Austria would beat turkey. Spain still look the best team. I hope either them or Germany make the final as France and Portugal have been pretty tedious.

    On the other side Dutch should get past turkey and hopefully Switzerland can keep up their good form and knock out England.

    I said at work the other day that Swiss shld be favourites as they’ve been so much better.

    Everybody agreed.

    Then said that’s why England will win.

    I actually agree on that too!

    When Spain was all at sea they found Olmo. The difference between the 2 sides. Germany the better side after the first half but couldn’t find the decisive goal.

    Have they changed the ball during the knockout stages?

    It was flying in from all angles and distances early on

    I hope Spain thrashes France. Neither France nor Portugal deserved a semifinal. France excellent penalties though. Should be the end of Ronaldo.

    Looking at all the yellow cards in the Germany-Spain game, was it a spiteful game? Undecided if I bother watching a replay.

    France can be so much better with the players they have. I thought that Portugal might sneak through once it went to penalties.

    At least 2 of the yellows I saw were tactical. Didn't seem a particularly spiteful game.

    It was niggly enough. Kroos absolutely should have got a YC for a nasty challenge early on that ended pedri’s game. This gane was much better than the second which was dreary.

    Out on penalties to England 😞

    Why you choose Akanji to take the first penalty who knows.

    Anyone but France please for the title.

    Swiss played well but Zuber was crap when he came on and we missed quality up front.

    Palmer has to start for England. Did cane touch the ball?

    Better than some of their previous efforts that’s for sure. All penalty takers are proven at club level and it showed.

    By the barest of margins twice in one day as an Englishman, once in our favour, once not.

    England never looked like missing a penalty. I reckon Akanji was stiff from standing still next to Kane all game. Still not really sure what England's plan is to create chances, until Saka's worm burner they had done nothing at all in the second half.

    Turks looked good for the win for the first half when they were stopping the ball getting past the midfield. But in the second half, they got deeper and deeper and invited the Dutch on. Was a pretty good game by the end with a great save from Jim Carrey in the Dutch goal.

    Spain v Germany was a great game, 2 quality teams going full throttle but both doing their best to stop the opposition stars playing. Shame it wasn't a semi or a final. France and Portugal was 2 teams playing risk-free football and unbelievable you can have Diogo Jota on the bench and not bring him on (he did actually win the penalty that Ronaldo missed in the previous round).

    For all the shit Southgate gets, and maybe it's just dumb luck, but fark his results at major championships crap on the coaching geniuses that proceeded him.
