Southgate will do his best on Sunday night to ensure Foden gets to spend a good chunk of Monday with his new kid.

Belgiums Hergé inspired kit is wonderfully tin(tin) pot. Andrew I think it looks quite good and like the connection between the shirt and something the country is well known, we need more of this. I’m thinking for England we could have a third kit of red and black hooped shirt with black shorts in the style of Dennis the Menace. Alternatively, a yellow and red shirt with blue shorts reminiscent of Bob the Builder. How could England fail with Bob there to fix it! Similarly, but not similar, I liked the Spanish Euro 2016 heat map shirt remembering 2012.

I liked the Ukraine shirt from a few years ago with their map on it.
I think it was banned because it included a disputed area or something 🤷🏻♂️

Aren’t they still wearing it? I’m sure their shirt had the outline on the game I just watched.

These group games have been the best I can recall from any tournament. All exciting games, bar two or three..
Really is ripe for someone grabbing the tournament by the neck and putting down a marker, here’s looking at you England. The chance is there, it really is wide open.

Brilliant from Georgia, their goalie and number 7 were fantastic. What a great watch they've been. Glad England won't be playing them so I can cheer them on in the next round.

Really is ripe for someone grabbing the tournament by the neck and putting down a marker, here’s looking at you England. The chance is there, it really is wide open. All exciting pretty much, bar group C. Not so much the group of death, more the group that has bored us to death! I'd love to think you might be right about England taking the tournament by the scruff of the neck, but I just don't think Southgate has the vision to make the tactical tweaks that would require.

Huge amount of recency bias there - the media also say this at every tournament Reminder of the high scoring games in the last tournament here - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Euro_2020#Group_stage

It's been a fantastic tournament so far, although it felt like most of the boring games not involving England came in the final group games for some reason.
England stunk the place out but won the group and have the best xG against in the competition so I'll take those positives. Most of the other fancied nations either failed to win their group (France, Holland, Belgium) or did so but were rubbish in at least one game (Portugirl getting run over by Georgia, Germany in the last minute v Switzerland etc). Italy were as poor as us and only just qualified in the last seconds. Croatia failed to qualify at all.
Georgia and Austria have been excellent fun. Spain excellent. Only really Scotland and Poland should go home feeling embarrassed.

I'm not sure if I'm defending Scotland here, but the record speaks for itself.

I think Scotland will look back on it as a missed opportunity. I have a little sympathy for them in terms of having to open the tournament against the hosts was never going to be easy. I don’t think they did themselves justice in the other 2 games though.
