If we'd have carried on pressing we may well have still lost the game, but at least we'd have gone down fighting. As it was we lost with whimper. So, so frustrating.

Don't think we deserved to concede when we did 

Thought we'd kick on after the goal 

Oh well, got the labour government football coming home will have to wait another couple of years 

More chance of Jay Slater coming home

Surely that’s  it for Southgate now? I’ve been behind him throughout but  Hes a championship level manger. Difficult part is now is trying to convince a top level manager which isn’t easy with national teams

This

Great substitutions at the right timing when they scored.

Awful game management at 1-1 . 
 

Just so frustrating when you’ve got the players to do otherwise

Everyone realised in the first couple of matches that a 4-2-3-1 doesn’t work with both Bellingham and Foden. But we played the finally with exactly that. Just criminal

Sacrificed Bellingham again to protect the left - this time against Carvahal and Yamal. Gave Foden space to work in. But no runners for him.

Kane playing deep and he defended well at times but having surrendered the initiative there was no real threat to them.

Should have started with Watkins to run them around at the back and make them think twice but it was too late. when he came on. A few mistakes at the back sunk us, especially Stones dropping too deep to ensure the onside for their second goal and Walker getting sucked into the middle for their first. Happened a few times but twice we didn't get away with it.

TBF this England squad is not far off being a top team - and maybe we will be soon.

Terrible management by Southgate. Just like the rest of the tournament he was reactive with all his subs. Can get away with that against farmers from Slovakia and the like but eventually get found out.

It's another tournament for me where how far we got looks good on paper, but it had just been another easy draw. It makes me feel sorry for Sven coming up against decent teams at the quarter finals every tournament

Thank go I've got Frank Turner's encore to cheere up after that.

And I still believe that everyone

Can find a song for every time they've lost, and every time they've won.

So just remember, folks, we're not just saving lives, we're saving souls,

And we're having fun.

Random aside 

Nico Williams plays at Bilbao alongside his brother Inaki 

Both born in the Basque region but Inaki plays for Ghana 

Have two brothers ever played for different international teams before?

I'm gonna hang an effigy of Kane from a lamppost.  Lazy cunt. Has pissed me right off. Captain of the side and walks around like Bolty in one of his games of football.
