UKRAINE vs ENGLAND - Official Matchday Thread


Recommended Posts

best opportunity for England to reach a final since 96, and even then that Germany side in the semi was a good one.

 

I think Southgate will be keeping the players focused and will probably continue the fairly defensive formula. The successful Italian teams over the years won tournaments with a solid defence.

 

If we do beat Ukraine, and I fully expect us to, I hope fans and the media don't lose their minds for the semi thinking it's a bye. Either Demark and the Czechs will be a stern test and I don't it will be pretty again. Two 1-0s and into the final will do for me now. Playing either Spain or Italy in the final will be an amazing accomplishment irrespective of the final result.

Down in cornwall at moment and asked in a pub if they'd be having match on. Landlord said "only time that TV goes on is for the rugby" I said "it's the quarter finals of the euros and England's in it" he replied "don't know nothing about that" in bombers accent and walked in the back. 

Few Weirdos down here I'll tell you

 

I live in Falmouth and the misses is from down here. The Father in law insist he's Cornish not English. Supports Wales in football and Rugby, and anyone that's playing against England. But, he's a Forest fan too. His grandson might be born and bred in Cornwall, but he's 100% Yorkshire and an owl.

 

If England get to the final, I think a lot of Cornish will conveniently remember they are in England.

Brilliant build up by ITV for the Denmark v Czech Republic game, dedicating a good 15 minutes to telling the nation how racist it is.

 

Again.

Great looking England side IMO. Always a risk changing from a winning formation but can understand why against a Ukraine team who will probably sit pretty deep. Happy to see Sancho start as well. Think he’s a real talent. Looks like Grealish is going to be used in the super sub role which is no bad thing while it works. 
Hate us being such strong favourites but we’ve got to hope we will get through this one!

Sancho is an exciting player but done nothing in an England shirt to warrant a start ahead of Grealish and Saka.
