That's fair for sure.
Slovakia, Switzerland, Netherlands (3rd in their group, lost to Austria) is a much easier path to a final than Georgia, Germany, France.

I will give Southgate credit for this they at least feel like there's a togetherness as a team. He's done a good job of at least having a team feel to them. Previous England teams seemed more dysfunctional. But even tonight he got outclassed tactically, once Koeman made the changes England went limp and he had no answer. He just had actually elite players to bring off the bench (Palmer and Watkins) and not ####ing Weghorst.

I would have liked to see more of Frimpong once England went back to playing terrorist football in the second half.

England are like the 'Homer Simpson' of Soccer. They just keep on falling ass-backwards into success.

Great goals though.

Should I know who these people are? German pop?
Also - bold choice to go with 3 keyboardists in your band.

I've seen enough, Spain absolutely dominating this can only mean a 1-0 England win.

Lol! There is an Asian woman in the crowd who is apparently a huge fan of the Boston Celtics. She may not know where she is! Wearing a Boston Celtics jersey to a Spain/England match held in Germany? That's a bit of a flex.
I'm sorry...I find it hilarious.

I would bet there’s at least one Saskatchewan Roughriders jersey in that crowd as well. It’s inevitable.

Hahaha!! You're probably right! Wearing a Pilsner box as a hat!
