the Spanish pundit, Guillem Balague, when asked to comment on England's chances, said that the English papers were already talking about the final, before they'd even played the QF.... who else does that, he asked?

it smacks of arrogance... even worse because there is nothing there at all to back that arrogance up. I think it's the reason why all other countries work their socks off and play out of their skins to try and beat England, and is probably the reason why England so often come a cropper against teams that the papers and the media have decided England have already beaten days before they even play them...... and then the Sun has the gall to stick the managers head on a turnip, when it should be the heads of their own football writers

Its not just the papers though.

Been reading comments today that England should be resting players.

Southgate has rubbished this but yeah, lets be honest there is an arrogance around England at the present, though not from the team at all. The team seams firmly on the ground and are carrying themselves wonderfully well.

There was talk of resting because of the yellow cards but we need to win. If the said players get a yellow then cross that bridge when we cross it.

Too negative at the moment. Tends to be a trait of ours once we score.

This has got a bit disjointed. I suppose most will just be enjoying the score.

Presume England won't regret not converting these chances.

Thumping header. I did wonder if it was going to be off-side, so didn't actually celebrate. Bloody VAR!

Game over?

Great cross but the marking was awful.
