    England starting line up...

    Pickford
    Walker Stones Maguire Shaw
    Rice Phillips
    Sancho Mount Sterling
    Kane


    Grealish on the bench again though glad Sancho starts.

    Strange to suddenly start Sancho now in the quarter final, after not having played him at all previously in the tournament.

    The Czechs gave it a good run, they've played a good tournament.

    A goal early on was what was needed, and Kane delivered

    Good start though England need to go looking for more.

    Sloppy by Walker, England playing to slow.

    Semi finals are always tough.

    But playing home is an advantage.

    The game has worked out perfectly for England rest players now.

    Come on this is getting ridiculous. Ukraine doesn’t belong to a quarter final. Worst defense I’ve seen in a very long time. It looks like they don’t even care about this game in the second half.

    You can only beat what's in front of you, England did a professional job.

    Not just professional, they showed class choosing to not push further after the fourth goal, because with the lack of intensity and attention of the Ukrainians it could have ended at least 6-0.

    Damn, I am playing a concert right in the middle of Italy - Spain tonight. The two teams I always support in international competitions facing each other, and I will miss all of it! Why couldn't they have scheduled the concert for earlier? :P

    In case anyone is interested in reading an article about Brentford's promotion to the Premier league, there are some Bond references in this article here... (three films directly and one line loosely inspired)

    Italy look on a mission belting out there anthem, not sure what to expect from Spain here though I cant see them keeping a clean sheet. My prediction is 2 - 0 to Italy.

    Strong start by Spain, Italy struggling to deal with them currently.

    Italy struggling to get out, they are missing Spinazzola he can drag them up the pitch, Spain's tactics spot on at the moment.

    ye, Spain have a much greater proportion of ball possession, and with Spinazzola missing, Italy are vulnerable. However, Italy are quick on the counter-attack.

    Spain played better in the first half. Louis Enrique did a far better job than Mancini preparing the game. Mancini should’ve change something in the second half.
