But then Sterling and Saka were superb against Iran, who are a better side than Wales. So, swings and roundabouts really innit? My concern is more with the lack of attacking intent Mount gives for an AM.

Always looked fairly comfortable - Wales were having to work hard to keep it at 0-0. Tricky team to pick for Senegal.

This. We’ve been fine, bar Rashford who’s final ball has been very poor. 2-0 full time I reckon.

Agreed on all of that. Going out narrowly to France/Argentina shouldn't be seen as unmitigated failure/disaster, but you know full well the knives will be out for Southgate if that is what happens. We have a talented squad but I actually think some slightly overrate it. Giroud, Mbappe and...

The fact that Wales have to win probably helps us. If a draw suited Wales, we could see another turgid affair. They will throw everything at us and leave gaps. I also do not rate Danny Ward as being anywhere near the standard required.

I think they're on the opposite sides to each other, and yes right now it feels like they're destined to meet in the final, all things being equal.

Couldn't agree more. People's expectations of England are bizarre. We overachieve by getting to a semi and a final in the last 2 tournaments, but everyone's furious because it wasn't done "the right way" or some bollocks. We are what we are - probably about the 4th-7th best side in the World...

I would agree except Wales have to win tonight. This will force a more open game as they will take more and more risks. The longer the game is 0-0, the more this probably suits us. We're also fortunate that their best players will probably be absolutely knackered by 60-70 mins, whilst we'll...

I'm not sure the easier route is avoiding Holland, as it means facing France. Holland and Argentina is a bloody hard route, but from what I've seen of each, I can imagine a world where we could beat either/both of them. I struggle to foresee a world where we beat France.

I remember when Germany and Denmark suddenly became crap in the Euros, coincidentally just after we beat them. Weird that.
