I won’t be laughing. I had money on Gakpo UEFA have apparently confirmed that the award will officially be shared between all those on 3 goals if no one makes it to 4. Also Gakpo has another game to play too...I thought it went on most assists if tied on goals? (He said frantically trying to remember which bin the betting slip went in)

(He said frantically trying to remember which bin the betting slip went in) Seems like they just make up the rules as they go along depending on who they want to win. Last time it was done on assists (so they could give it to Ronaldo) but they have previously awarded it to Fernando Torres based on him playing less minutes that the players he was tied with. This year they’re going to split it.

This year they’re going to split it. I think this year they're going to make each player perform a musical number about why they deserve the award. At least that's what I've heard from my ITK source.

The more I watch the replay of the penalty incident, the more it looks like a penalty. If I watch it another twenty times I’m sure I’ll be fully convinced that it was stonewall. I was behind goal and actually did think it was a pen in real time. Or perhaps I felt it was more a case of seeing that 'look' like the kind of decision that is now given in games at this level. Watkins winner though, wow. Ive had a cracker in this Euros, also got to Holland vs Austria, alongside fan zones in a few cities. Kind of sad to see the Dutch go out, their fans class but England were for me by far the better side on Wednesday night. Been a lot of fun out in Germany, Id recommend to anybody to go out to a tournament, even if you don't want to follow England. Back home in the rain now and I believe, its coming home!

I’d written us off before both the Switzerland and Holland games purely based on what I’d seen before. Now even though we’re up against easily the best performing team in the tournament, something tells me that we’re going to do it. After easily qualifying out the group despite the performances, a combination of the 95th minute equaliser and the ET win, the shoot out win and then turning around a deficit with a 91st min winner by a sub just says to me “name on the trophy”
And Spain are surely due a clunker.

Must confess I'm usually a BBC man myself but didn't like Lineker's earlier comments about England. And Roy Keane's face can be very funny.

I find Matterface + Dixon are just AWFUL commentary wise. I did extensive research into a possible way to have just the crowd sound + no commentary for the semi.

BBC for me simply because of the lack of adverts and the promise of a memorable montage over the closing credits.
I do love Ally McCoist as co coms on ITV though. He’s brilliant.
