A good result, an incredibly hard watch.

England haven't played well for about 18 months in fact the last time England played like a team that could win a title was when they beat Scotland away in a friendly.Since then England have been poor.This England team playing under Southgate cannot beat Spain or France unless one of those teams have a man sent off.I hope I'm wrong Have you actually been watching France? They've had more luck getting to the semis than we have. |

The Croatian manager Dalić was a TV pundit here for this game and was very complimentary about the Engleze. He said they will not be tempted to come forward in numbers until they decide the right moment. It looks like they are struggling but they are not, the Swiss did everything to spread out the English formation but their attempts were completely ignored. This Southgate knows what he's doing. Really ? We only started to play once the Swiss had scored, then panic changes of attacking players were brought on, we scored via a piece of individual skill by man of the match Saka, and got through by the skin of their teeth via a penalty shoot out. Trippier once again played out of position at left back and it has taken until this game for Southgate to realise that Foden is out of position when played out on the left wing, something that was so obvious that all the fans knew where his best position is, in fact everyone knew apart from Southgate !
I'm not happy with our left hand side we look very vulnerable. |

Perhaps Southgate is too loyal and will not drop Kane in favour of Toney and Watkins. I read somewhere Kane has a long term back injury. He doesn't look the player he was a couple of seasons ago. |

The last time a Labour Government was voted in in 1997, a few days later the U.K. won the Eurovision Song Contest. Skip forward to the next Labour Government a few days ago and I reckon we’ll win the Eurovision football contest as a result. Uncanny or what?
My reasoning for this was that I thought this up after a night of hearty quaffing down the Pub last night. And I’m sticking with my theory however unlikely and un researched it is.

Both Blair and the song contest make me shudder and go wondrous cold.

Harold Wilson won in 1966 with a big majority, and we know what happened on July 30th of that year...

Harold Wilson won in 1966 with a big majority, and we know what happened on July 30th of that year... In August 1976 during Britain's driest summer in over 200 years, Harold Wilson made Denis Howell the Minister for Drought (but nicknamed 'Minister for Rain'). Howell was charged by the Prime Minister with the task of persuading the nation to use less water, and was even ordered by No.10 to do a rain dance on behalf of the nation. Days later, heavy rainfall caused widespread flooding, and he became known as "Minister for Floods". Then, during the harsh winter of 1978–1979 he was appointed Minister for Snow !!
Well perhaps Starmer can do a similar thing and ASAP appoint a ''Minister for sunny weather'' that would get my vote !!

A failed manager at every club he has managed being recommended by a Crisp salesman. Suppose the Suites at the FA if they listen to lineaker are more impressed that Lampard has a string of Academic qualifications, privately educated rather than someone who has cut his teeth in the lowerleagues learnt his trade and has been a successful club manager. The mind boggles. |

Lee Carsley the U21 manager is the favourite to take over if Gareth leaves

I've just got home and I have to say Lewis drove superbly all weekend and I'm ecstatic to have been there to see him win his first grand prix in 3 years.
Shame for Lando as his team messed up his tyre change and Piastri suffered with them calling him in at the wrong time.
Still it has been a brilliant weekend of racing and football.

Lawal is some player. He takes 2 defenders one way before going back the other and curing it into the nigh on top corner.
