*** England v The Swiss team & Holland v The Turks - Quarter Finals - 6th July - Euro 2024 ***

i think England will make the final, Spanish will be hard to beat though.

Switzerland and Turkey to cause an upset for me.

Spain or France will have the advantage regardless, simply because they get an extra days rest ahead of the final as their semi is played first.

possibly mesmerised, but england have fit players with few minutes played in tournament and i think he will need to unleash them to make final.

they were not unleashed in the last final....which was why i stopped watching england play because it mad me too angry.....i have been watching this competition and it has confirmed my decision as correct to give them a blank....terrible when its your own country...

Ive backed the draw in both games. Hard ones to call could be anything.

it may say three at the back on paper but once the game commences we are generally eight at the back with the other two midway between our goal and the half way line.....i feel we will score against the swiss and the secret is will we then go for more goals....if the answer is yes then they will not be able to live with us....if no then a draw is not a bad call as despite having an army in our own half we generally still concede.....

Foden said Southgate has been telling the players all tournament to press and be high up the pitch, yet the players revert to safety making the game move at pedestrian pace, taking too many touches of the ball and not moving quickly, Bellingham is one of the worst for over touching the ball. The manager can only do so much, they better had do what he says tonight because the Swiss are far better than the mug teams we've played so far, any half decent team would have knocked us out by now. Kind Regards.

i don't want england to win  any game meso, but i think they will get to final, hopefully i'm wrong

southgate plan starts here

last 45 secs of 7 mins extra time

Unless Gareth Southgate has had an epiphany since the Slovakia match Switzerland will eat England alive.

like they ate scotland!!!....who played their best match of the tournament against the swiss by pressing.....

Switzerland were actually playing for a draw in that match just to get through

leave off......

they did, the Swiss were barely attacking, they wanted 4 pts so they could qualify, passing at pedestrian pace as the time was ticking down

mes, why on earth have you started a second thread on England?

didn't see it but I've never heard of ingerland or Swisserland, post where you want

It splits the forum up so all our opinions are mixed up... should be kept to just the one.

Team news in

Pickford - Walker - Stones - Konsa- Trippier - Rice - Mainoo - Saka - Bellingham - Foden - Kane

7 defensive players

certainly needn't be - depends how you use them..Trippier, Saka, Mainoo, Rice all capable of offering attacking threat..not that I'm expecting an adventurous approach but that personnel isn't really an issue...

100th game for Southgate, If Kane's not doing after an hour he needs the balls to take him off and bring on Toney.

here we go

England will perform like the tory party

Kane is an utter embarassement. Begging for pens ffs

He's been bad, didn't make run into the box for Saka's pass, he hasn't got the legs anymore, clearly lost half a yard, take him off, bring on Toney, Gareth wont have the balls.

England are carrying Kane the same way Portugal carried Ronaldo, and we know how that ended

Saka pissing all over the Swiss, England's best player.

has there been a shot at goal yet, lineker now and ferdinand, much better , huge improvement,  id say a bit better not much

foden been better than last game

"Magnificent England supporters"! See what happens if England lose.

^at least the post cards will be home before them, unlike Scotland

very little quality on offer, Lidl ads very apt.

take this mug Kane off, on a yellow now, done absolutely nothing

W

What a f clown, no subs and waits for a goal to do something instead, reactive rather than proactive, get rid of this mug manager

fookin Hopeless

Bring Toney on Southgate you idiot

Holy Fooook

Kane is absolutely useless, for the love of God sub him off. Finished at the top level.

Twitter police scanning X right now to see who will abuse the England players that miss, ready to break though their front doors at the crack of dawn, never mind all the murders and rapists out there

It's coming home!

Imop the two biggest underachieving teams performance wise at the finals has been England and France. Could well be the final now.

cannot believe edy's on the football forum, shocking scenes

This could be the worst england team ever to win the euros..

With Southgate’s luck it’s time to lump on turkey

Koeman is the manager of Holland. I thought I recognised that face on the bench.

would rather play the Dutch, they just wanna attack leaving open spaces for Saka to run into

He will be dropped and replaced with an extra defender then

fair play to the Turks, they're having a go here

How do England get all the easy teams, and they can't even beat those in 90 minutes. I think they play Accrington Stanley in the semis.

Who are they?

exactly...

gimme some..get off..

nasty challenge by Simons, a bit lucky not to see red for that.

Holland pretty bad tonight.

Race to the bottom on this half of the draw.

yep, France/Portugal was full of exceptional stuff....

Turkey score!

Simons always looks as though he's gonna start crying

All Turkey's games have been very watchable

Shouldn't we be calling them Turkiye now?

Even the BBC not using the official name

Incredible how often in this tournament that clear cut corners become goal kicks

I'm amazed at how many blatant pushes are not given a free kick

fundamental problem with the Dutch...are these washed out orange colours...

looks like the refs have been told to ease up.....last few matches plenty of card opportunities not used....

Gakpo is slowing up the play. He spends way too much time on the ball. He needs to move the ball quicker

1-1. Gobble gobble.

Good header, good goal

Mickey is better than Ake. Not sure why he doesn't start games.

2-1

Ok, where is everyone?  Is it something I said?

Can we expect Turkish riots in Dutch (and Belgian and German) cities tonight?
