Generally the standard of officiating has been really good throughout the tournament. I think decisions constantly get over analysed. There looked to be contact on Sterling from Jensen for the penalty, although he was probably already on his way down and was definitely 'looking for it', not that I could care less. If you play positively and constantly get your players into the opposition box with the ball then you'll get rewarded in some way, and England were much the better side for a lot of last night. I've watched enough League 1/League 2 wingers running at the likes of David Hunt or Phil Edwards to know they'll eventually give away a penalty if you keep asking the question.
Southgate has now hopefully shown everyone what he's capable of. He's the first England manager in my lifetime that I can recall managing everyone, including the media. So often it was the other way around. Neville was spot on about Southgate last night and I much prefer his quiet, calm and authoritative nature over the brashness and arrogance we see everyday in politics but also in workplaces and of course football.
Tactically, I thought England were very good last night. Kane spent a lot of time in deep positions and out wide, basically away from that Denmark back 3. I hate to imagine what an Allardyce team would have tried last night, probably endlessly kick it up to Kane to compete with a 2m tall centre back. We got all our joy down the sides and in behind. Everyone knows Italy will be a tough test, but if anyone can get the players focused and organised for it, it's Southgate. I've got more confidence in him than any previous England manager.
