Post-Match Thread and Ratings England v Switzerland EUFA Euros Quarter Final 17:00hrs ko.

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

The Swiss are not that great. We are still playing well below out potential. If England go up that gear they have in their locker, they will win. Also, time for Kane to be replaced by someone a lot faster. They are vulnerable to pace.

Twice I've sat down and watched England at the Euros now. And twice I've fallen asleep. Luckily my wife is alert and woke me up to inform me that England gave scored.

Dilemma though. Watch extra time or head to The Roslin for dinner

Yes, Toney or Watkins on please.

Embolo accidentally saved us, that was a certain goal if he'd left it.

His name makes me think of an African epidemic for some reason.

Shar has just been told next tackle he’s off - get the ball to Palmer or Eze to run at him.

It’s not rocket science

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Come on statue, get Kane off. He's knackered. This game is there for the taking. There defence is looking slower, and one defender could be sent off next bad tackle.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

My bad. I've just realised. He's keeping Kane on for penalties.

Not any more !

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Southgate's just fouled Kane.

Pens it is then

 

[Shr1mperBlue]

Urgh. Here we go!

 

[RHB]

Get in! Ok lads even more opportunities to moan in the Semi Final. Southgate, you're rubbish mate.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

England hero penalty takers. Every penalty was brilliant. Nerves of steel. GET IN. Not forgetting a great save from Pickford.

Pressure is for tyres

 

[Leeboy]

never in doubt

 

[Leigh_Seasider]

I thought we did a great job of nullifying their threat, Saka popped up when it mattered to equalise and 5 superb penalties with each player looking confident. Who needs Kane?

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Nice to see a Southend Flag.

 

[Tinks]

Hate penalties when it is a team i support but love them as a neutral
Have found England boring and not that creative and most of them look tired

 

[southendkid]

Great to see Saka put Euro 2021 to bed, all 5 of them were great penalties. Ivan Toney has nerves of steel to not even bother looking at the ball for his.
