Man of the match? The one who scored the winner except it was offside - someome else - SAKA. My head tells me Spain will win the final; my heart goes for England as long as they keep giving the ball to Saka.

Well well - so lucky to get to semis but I was so surprised how good they have got. Head tells me Spain all the way, but it may be a lot closer and more exciting than that!

I do think Southgate should bring on the younger Watkins Palmer etc at half time if struggling, not with 10 to go. Spain will be able to out-attack England and I think we have a better chance with younger less restrained players who won't over-think the situation...

Saka England's best I agree.

Sadly, Spain (technically better and more of a team) are now closely analysing these options and permutations too.

For example, Walker has quickly become largely impotent, with too many others only playing well, occasionally.

I'm sure they are. I would just rather go out losing 5-3, say, flinging everything at it, than after a cautious dull affair. I think it is also our best chance of winning. But every armchair has a pundit!!
