Let’s mention Manioo, the 18 year old that plays like he’s had 100 caps for England. Calm and collected on the ball breaking up the oppositions offensive play and disturbing the ball. What a young humble talent.

@deanyvoys2181 19 дней назад

Makes another good point though about how good he's been in a relatively poor untd side, now he's around better players with England. Maybe able to show his levels more.

@ny4471 19 дней назад

Massively happy for Ollie. As a Villa fan we have a complex that we arent seen as a sexy club , the season he's had he's not seen as a top striker. He works hard, doesn't speak out, doesnt court the media , lets his actions do the talking. That moment for Villa fans is up there with Platt in 1990. It could not happen to a nicer more professional guy. Love him. Meeks is spot on , we have never had a tournament where so many redemption stories have happened. One more game for the biggest redemption of all.

In 1986 I was a young boy growing up in the south of Italy, I was at my parents friends house when my parents told me to run with them to the top the roof (they have flat roofs in Italy and in a lot if mediterranean countries). At the top we waited and waited until a flash of light came past, magical. It was Halleys comet, which is visible every 80yrs or so, once in ur life on average. England players may only have this one chance in their lives too, and they too need to run to the top and seize the moment.

@joshd171294 19 дней назад

Mainoo our most important player again. So good on the ball we’ve needed this kind of player for years

@jonhill7081 19 дней назад

I have to be honest, I owe Kobbie Mainoo an apology. For most of the last year, I've completely dismissed calls about him being "better than Scholes" or whatever, largely because I saw it as the typical Manchester United hype. Having watched him with more attention in this tournament - the last couple of games in particularly - he is absolutely excellent. His creativity last night was great, but also his willingness to track back and steal the ball back was massive. For all the talk of Nico Williams Jr, Lamine Yamal, Jamal Musiala and Arda Güler this tournament, Mainoo deserves to be a part of that conversation.

@mikem9309 19 дней назад

I don’t think any of us united fans think hes better than scholesy - a united legend himself. But hes shown us even in the preseason of 23-24 season, the quality this kid has. Then shown us throughout the season, despite the magnitude of the game, how good he is. Some may get overexcited but its because the sky is the limit for him and just how good he can become.

It wasn't just the handball.... If you picture the 2nd goal, the reason 5 of England's players didn't put a tackle in , was because they had all been booked and given away weak free kicks beforehand. The Ref that day was worse than the dodgy German geezer last night. It was a shocking decision...but it ain't our fault. Blame the cloggy hating German officials.

Was in Dortmund yesterday, absolutely incredible, unbelievable, no voice left, head pounding but worth every second! Fans were superb, massively outnumbered by the Dutch no room in any fanzones/bars, had to watch the game in a pizza restaurant surrounded by dutch fans & just 6 England fans, sang them out the restaurant :)) Watkins in the last minute, everything he deserved.

I think the Dutch defence had become used to marking the immobile Kane and Watkins was their worst nightmare in terms of movement and threat in behind, he shocked them with his intent and speed of strike.

So you don't give credit to the manager for making the change when he was the only person who could make the change?

@@DingbotzSouthgate has a terrible record when it comes to watching games drifting and turn against England between the 55-75th minutes in the game. If he made the Watkins sub at the 60th minute the game wouldn’t have drifted so long and England would not have conceded as many chances as his pressing and runs in behind changed the game. Southgate’s inability to change the game when it’s starting to drift is why he’s lost against Croatia,Italy and France. We just want him to take the steps to succeed.

@Dingbotz 19 дней назад

@@stevenphillips4494 both teams had made changes at half time and needed time to see how they played out - making changed after 5-10 mins would have been ridiculous. Your analogy is flawed and I think you know it. He didn't save one room - he saved the entire house and unlike in previous games, he didn't wait for a fire to break out first - instead he took action to ensure a fire couldn't ignite. I'm not saying Southgate is perfect but to deny him credit for learning from his previous mistakes (which cost England Euro 2021) and for being proactive instead of reactive, putting subs on at half-time when he previously waited until injuries or injury-time, is just bitterness. You have to give credit where credit is due.

Gary, if you're going to put studs in the way of someone who is kicking the ball without making contact with the ball yourself while in the 18 yard box and the opposing player smashes his limb into your studs as a result then that's a penalty all day long and you'd be fortunate not to receive a red card, though you would deserve one.

Totally, totally agree with you Gary. The goal was the FIRST TIME IN THE TOURNAMENT where we had a striker make that kind of run and all it took was 10 minutes to create a goal! Watkins is a must start in the final but I can't imagine Gareth doing it. If he does, fair play to him. Adapt based on what you see. Kane has had a negative impact on performances throughout the tournament. He can't play in front of our 10s. If you wanted to play 2 up top and drop Bellingham into Mainoo's position, it could work but he can't play that 9 in this team.

Defender attempted to block the shot to the obvious near side of the goal, so Watkins firing to the more difficult far side placed it behind the outstretched foot.
