England have struggled to break down teams, as for performances they have been dire, Switzerland have a very well organised team with a good defensive record, we don't deserve to have got as far as we have ,Let us hope we finally start playing football and look a lot sharper in all area's. I share your sentiments but, unless the structure of the team is changed, I suspect we will see more of the same unbalanced and disjointed performances and will just be hoping for a moment of individual brilliance (probably from Bellingham) to see us squeak through. Interesting that one of the most impressive teams from the group stages Austria went out last night and big teams like France have also not convinced but I cannot see England beating either Germany or Spain (assuming we get that far) unless we start to play a lot better.

The Swiss were very impressive against the Italians who reminded me of one or two England performances in the past, notably against Iceland in 2016 when we looked knackered from the 1st minute onwards too. As you say, lets hope for some improvement because if we do get past the Swiss it will get an awful lot tougher against Holland or Turkey. The Dutch finally got their act together against the Romanians and Turkey seem to feeding of their support (I think they have had the highest number of fans attending their games, even more than Germany...although the venues play a part in that of course but even so).

The nation has already had one brilliant result this week - is it greedy to ask for another tomorrow? Come on England!

Lovely goal by Spain. Interesting to see no trouble despite no segregation.

Hoping Germany knock Spain out tonight get in 1-1, germans were asleep until Spain scored a goal that had been coming, all Germany since, deserve to be level, they need to stay awake now or Spain can score again

Spain now favourites for the cup? What's the impact of the sending off though, how longs he banned for, is he replaceable?

What's the impact of the sending off though, how longs he banned for, is he replaceable? he was banned for next game already after the first yellow , it will be a farce if he doesnt now receive 2 games I'd take no notice of the favourites, before today it was England but purely because they are favourites to make the final in the one half of the draw and 4 better sides fight each other in the other half

Anyone else think all these German grounds are better than any we have to offer ? They surely can't differ in width? The pitch seems a lot wider in this second match, perhaps it's just the camera angle?
As for our grounds, what we need is a successful World Cup bid to promote investment.

How boring are France?
They’ve got some of the best players in the world but sit in a low block doing nothing for ninety minutes. And have three holding midfielders on the pitch.

Does cotterill manage them??? he cant do, Mbappe would be sat on the naughty chair, and griezmen playing at RWB, there are 2 keepers on the bench though so you might be right , anyway France still waiting their first proper goal at the tournament, I blame Micky Moore
