I think Luke Shaw got forward twice all game, and played a crucial part in both goals (as did Grealish, who needs to be starting)

Hey, when Spain won the 2010 World Cup, their results in the knockouts were 1-0, 1-0, 1-0 & 1-0. Doesn't have to be thrilling, attacking football as long as we win!
 
Group F was group of death. They’re all out.

Two teams from the ‘poor’ Group D still in it. Rubbish these Euros, aren’t they?

I’ve not enjoyed the slow, dull style of football against the weaker teams, not just in the groups but in the friendlies before the tournament, and I was never blown away by the performances even in the World Cup, but Southgate has earned a lot of respect after that result and the way that the game was controlled and managed.

He’s got a wonderful chance to take England on to a final of a major tournament, at Wembley no less, for the first time in 55 years. Let’s get behind him.

I'm conflicted... On the one hand the team feels very negative with a back 5 and 2 CDMs... On the other hand, the only game Germany have looked any good in was against Portugal when they were able to use their full backs as their attacking outlet because Semedo is awful positionally. By matching up the 5 defence, then going for pace on the wings with Sterling and Saka, we can pin their full backs back a little bit, because the risk of leaving Hummels to deal with Saka is too high because the difference in pace is huge. We're set up to nullify the biggest German threats, then hit them on the counter if they push too high. Seems very negative given our attacking talent, but honestly it tactically makes sense - and with Foden, Grealish, Mount and Sancho to come off the bench the Germans will be terrified of the last period of the game because they don't have the defensive backup to cope.
Called it. Gosens and Kimmich did NOTHING. Southgate got it 100% right and now we have the best chance in my lifetime to really make something of this competition.
 
GET INNNN!!!

So Harry Kane, give him some chances and he'll score.

Also, Southgate called right on team selection with Luke Shaw key for both goals and wing backs can be an attacking option.

Further, Raheem Sterling was our best outfield player today and in the 2nd half was our main threat.

MotM for me was Jordan Pickford, a rock at the back today.

Lovely miss by Muller. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
