Georgia were much better than just a team trying to stop Portugal playing to their strengths.

They genuinely could have had 5 or 6 goals. Portugal were awful for 75 mins. They rested half the team but they are supposed to have one of the best squads in the tournament with strength across the bench.

True re: Portugal but they'd already qualified as winners of the groups and they seemed not to bothered in the first half, by the second it was too late and Georgia had too much momentum. I still think they are very strong contenders along with Germany and Austria.

The draw is crazy. England should be eyeing getting to the final as a minimum but on those last performances confidence isn't high

Italy doing a superb impression of England. Almost like there’s a competition to be the shortest team in the tournament.

I can’t believe how bad Italy are. I should do really, because I’ve been working with an Italian guy for the last few weeks who can work himself up into a state of near apoplexy when he starts talking about how awful their present squad is.

Switzerland look really good though

Italy were woeful. Germany match a little better but the ghost of Timo Werner haunts Havertz.

Has Michael Oliver got German grandparents?

Its this new handball rule. If you have an arm and the ball hits it whilst your looking the other way then it's a penalty. Ludicrous.

Denmark not helped by their chances falling to Hojlund.

Lively start, not sure this will end 11 v 11 the way the ref is giving out yellows

That ref is a nutcase. Its not even a very physical game, 3 yellows already.

I’ve just bet on a red card being shown. It was only 3/1

Haha, I just came on to ask you whether you'd got that bet on!

Bellingham getting a red might improve our shape!

So to go through Emgerland have to score as many goals as they’ve managed in the whole tournament so far

My bet on Slovakia to win at a frankly bonkers 9/1 is looking good

Think i'd put money on an england penalty, Kane or Saka.

England looking completely disorganised - too many sideways passes, front 3 hardly involved and nothing learned from the previous games.

I'm not blaming the ref for England being behind but I can see why the Turkish coach attacked him.

TBF it's time England were sent packing... leave this to the great teams in the tournament  (Spain, Portugal, France, Germany etc)... England would come up short against any really good team.

The Tories called the election relying on footie feel-good factor to give them a boost. Is there anything they can't screw up?

Jesus, they’re woeful! It reminds me of watching United under Maureen.

Sideways - sideways - backwards - sideways - sideways - back to the keeper

As usual I expect Southgate won’t make any changes until Slovakia are 3-0 up with 2 minutes to go

Kyle Walker is mince isn’t he? He’s got pace. That’s it. Positional play, distribution, poor.

It’s not been a physical game, but I think the players he’s carded probably deserved their cards, in isolation.

If by some remote chance Engerland make it through, they’ll get absolutely battered by Switzerland!

Perhaps some of the Labour campaign funds went to Gareth to make sure there was no feel good factor  🤔

That's daft from Foden, no football intelligence to run offside there.

Nice to see him not on the wing though. Needs to be alongside Kane.

That nearly summed the tournament up. A free kick devised by CCHQ
