I’d happily see you get two more good sleeps Madeley if we win the tournament.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Quoted from bawarmy
I thought the Ukraine were a credit to football tonight. They kept on playing and never got nasty like so many other European teams do when they are losing.
But well done England.


Might be controversial but I disagree. They left the tournament without even a whimper. Thought Shevchenko would have made 3/4 subs after about 55/60 mins. There are ways of losing a game and, for me, that wasn't a good way,  if you were Ukrainian.

The sad thing is that although we were v efficient and have kept clean sheets scored 4 goals I still found it an absolute borefest. It will be fantastic if we win it but will I be awake to see it who knows,

Best keep away from Blundell Park then

Good to see the manager has learned lessons. Build the side on a tough centre with Phillips and Rice to protect the back four. It gives a flexibility that is hard to combat.

You can only beat what’s in front of you but Denmark will be a definite step up and if they score first it could be another game altogether.

I think England are fortunate not to have Harry Kane injured. Spain for one have struggled with their strike force especially up front. Harry Kane at least always gives you a chance as he is a good finisher. I think if Spain would of had their striker Ansu Fati fit they would of been a far more potent force. Good movement and skills for one . Loved by Barcelona fans as well.

Great talent, like the French, is no good without teamwork and application.  They were a shambles when they went out.  Poor attitude.  When Mbappe missed the pen his teammates ignored him rather than consoling him.   The Swiss players showed more empathy.

Southgate is the opposite.  Fostering great team spirit.  He gets nearly all decisions spot on. He was concerned  even for the 3 players he leaves out of the squad.  Also very supportive of the way he gave Grealish one to one time after the final whistle.  Grealish has a role to play in the Denmark game.  Good to see respect from Shevchenko to Kane,  one top scorer to another.

Denmark have special energy, goals, a physical presence and some good young individual players.  England have the same in spades, home advantage, the crowd and possibly destiny. They have also had less tiring travel.  Our strongest quality is probably the freshness and high calibre of our attacking subs.  We also have 2 fullbacks in reserve who starred in the CL winning team.

In fact, our reserves would give good teams a run for their money. The French thought that they could, when their first could not even do so.  We made a poor Ukraine look, well poor.  A  very useful warmup for confidence and further progression.   2-1 to us in 90 mins with subs making the difference.  Denmark giving us a hell of a game.  Different intensity and quality to Scotland.

England need to petition FIFA to increase the number of players (like rugby) to say 14 or 16.  We would benefit from this but still not get all our young talented players on the pitch.
