1. On the one hand – yay! We’re through!

   On the other hand, what a tedious shit of a game. Really need Southgate out.

2. Waiting the inevitable England vs France, which will be the pinnacle of god awful negative football.

3. Oh God. We won’t be able to escape “it’s coming home now ” ……..

4. Six replies as of time of writing. My god you’re all miserable. Lighten up.

5. Couldn’t bare the nonsense from the pundits claiming that England played well. Not a single shot on target for 80 mins. Foden is starting to boil my piss.

6. England’s past four matches at the end of 90 minutes.

   England 1 – 1 Denmark

   England 0 – 0 Slovenia

   England 1 – 1 Slovakia

   England 1 – 1 Switzerland

   I’ve got no dice in this game but with the squad they have they shouldn’t look like complete dog shit.

7. 60 mins = no shots on target

   70 mins = no subs

   Kane 5 yards short and completely ineffectual.

   Players passing back to Pickford from inside the oppositions half from dead balls.

8. Kids these days aren’t going to realise how rare a win on penalties is

9. We are playing better and we are through. People are miserable cunts! When we win, people that bitch can’t celebrate… agreed?

10. It feels like the entire country is baffled as to how England are still in this tournament. At this rate, they’ll probably go and inexplicably win the whole thing.

11. I genuinely hate those shitty stuttery runups. Just charge at the fucker and put your boot through it.

    I’m not saying don’t aim, but power and speed win the day from 12 yards.

12. Switzerland were parking the bus hard all game admittedly.

    Probably Mourinho/Pulis ball 

13. It was better than the previous few games, I feel more confident in them going forward with that win than before the match.

14. Spain v England final, bound to happen.

    I think we saw an improved England today but still so far off the mark.

15. I need to get off Reddit, so many miserable fuxkers on here that can’t seem to enjoy anything

16. Here we goooo

    England through to the semis, time to make a shit ton of money by betting against them!

    England and losing in the semi finals, name a more iconic duo.

17. I support WBA. I’ve been subjected to Pulisball, Bruceball, and sodding Pardew Crazy Taxi!

    Is it really too much to ask to be entertained when I’m supporting top class players? 300m+ talent up front and we defend 0-0.

    Pulis would be thrilled (not least as he’s Welsh)

18. Much better performance. Still some glaring issues. But overall I am happy to see positive signs. Saka was brilliant. I think Kane needs a rest though.

19. My unpopular opinion is that a lot of the ‘Southgate is the devil, I hate himmmmm’ noise is group think – it’s funny how everyone got two game in and apparently he’s the worst thing since German moustaches, despite previous success… mark my words, if we get to the final suddenly those options will evaporate

20. Things I thought about while watching the match tonight:

    Glad I picked up the dog shit from the garden

    Do I need to go to B&M tomorrow for something?

    I’m not hungry at the moment

    Should have a shave

    My dog’s asleep on the sofa

21. 5/5 penalties and people still moan. It is giving me heart attacks but what’s important is the result

22. Miserable fucks. I assume you’re all in your early teens and have no memory of pre-Southgate ball/pens? If all you want is guaranteed entertainment then you’re looking in the wrong place for it.

24. 11 individual players, but not a team, barely won against an actual team.

    The number of players just jogging around out that was, frankly, shocking.

    Show some fucking pride in representing your country.

25. On behalf of the world’s football fans may I offer my congratulations in inventing a whole new form of zzznooseball. I can’t wait for 120 mins of 0-0 against France.

26. Just remember at least England have scored in open play this tournament, unlike France who are in the semi finals of a major tournament having not scored a single freaking goal

27. You do realise we could win any set piece ? If we get everyone in position and at the very last moment Harry Kane shouts “Sausages” their defence will melt.

28. another draw, i hope they don’t expect to win the tournament purely via penalty shootouts.

29. Well, what a bizarre cauldron of feelings this has given me. Happy to be in the semis of course, but meh about the team cohesion, lineups, tactics and more.

30. Tories gone, British drivers 1,2,3 qualification in the British Grand Prix and England win a penalty shootout, the country is back
