Good luck to England tonight in the footy.
Not the best of performances in the first two games but we are still top with 4 points.We really need win the group to avoid being in the same side of the draw as Germany,Spain and France in the knockout rounds. 🏴

Well,another uninspiring performance but we have won the group and find ourself in the 'easier' side of the draw.Even so,without a serious improvement we will struggle to progress.Roll on Sunday afternoon 🏴

Not managed to see one match so far but from what I've heard on TV and in general I am more optimistic. Tournament football requires a different approach to what some might otherwise expect. Slow and careful to begin with and try to preserve fitness and your best for later. That is what I take is being done and teams that have traditionally done well in tournament football have mostly done the same. Peak too early and pick up injuries with fast and entertaining football which leaves you tired and dead on your feet for the games which follow in quick succession tends to be a recipe for failure.
Come on England ... you can do it. |

From what I've seen so far that's an extremely big 'if'.Once again the draw has been very kind to Southgate and the squad,let's see if they can capitalize on their good fortune. 🏴

Well we now know England's quarter final opponents if we beat Slovakia on Sunday.
The winner of Sunday's England v Slovakia game will face Switzerland who have knocked out Italy. Switzerland were superb tonight. 🏴🏴🏴
