Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Yeah so a good header doesn’t hurt. I mean the moment you head it proper, you feel it’s a good one. Know what I mean love?

Well spotted … you will be a tough oppo in the semis!
Why the feck do the English throw their pints of beer in the air? Baffling to an Irishman.
Because there's no potatoes
fair comment.
shhh, we have game to play..
but,
I'm calm cool and colected...beer will do that to you, you know.
I'm confident, you have the one player I think is as important as Scholes … and as modest too!shhh, we have game to play..
but,

I would be very surprised if it wasn't water. The beer would have been grasped firmly in hand.
It's the opposite: they should TRY!

Linekar emotional about Sir Bobby. Just reminds you of the human element to the game.
BBC showing England’s 1990 heartbreak just after we reach the semi-final.
Smart.
Smart.
Good performance today. Great run by England. Baffled at the hate though? It’s a bit hypocritical to be honest.
That was touching!
What’s the rule on yellow cards? Are they wiped at the semi?
Fantastic showing by the Swedes. Heads held high lads!Swedes congratulating the English while the English are giving us shit, poor souls.
Outta here until KO 
They did try, though? A bit too careful, perhaps, but that's understandable.
Watching Swedish TV and I agree with the analysis. Swedens press did not bite, leading to loss of energy. Allowed two easy goals while not being able to finish the few chances we got. Deserved win for England, congratulations! I hope Rashford will shoot you to the world cup trophy
Game was awful, I was hoping you lot were tired from 120 minutes against Colombia. Nonetheless, we have been fantastic in this World Cup. See you again.
Love it. I’d hate fire Pogba to have gotten a booking and potentially miss a final.Gone
what arrogance? He's perfectly right. Germany was shite during the tournament. Their position in the group show us that.Comments like that are the main reason why i don't want England to win the whole cup.
Never enjoy seeing a proper team and proper fans go out at this point, mate. Been there ourselves!!! Sending a virtual pint and regards!Game was awful, I was hoping you lot were tired from 120 minutes against Colombia. Nonetheless, we have been fantastic in this World Cup. See you again.
Only if he gets sent off, mate. Yellows are reset before final

Cheers mate, enjoy your evening. I’d be buzzing
That wasn't even particularly close was it. Congrats to England, the better team won and I hope you go on to lift the trophy in the end.
We get that you're trying to be controversial but when you try too hard you just end up with complete nonsense.
Those are the facts yes but it doesn't say anything about how a game between Germany/Mexico and England would have ended because football or any other sport doesn't work like that. The argument is especially flawed since Germany beat Sweden, so your own logic goes against itself.
I actually agree with some of what you’re saying here but collectively Germany & Spain only won 2 from 7 matches. That’s form. They didn’t just slip up the once. And whilst they obviously had the lion share of possession, they didn’t look particularly great at all and I don’t think the round of 16/quarter-finals onwards has been weaker for not having them both in it. Not on their current form.

Really happy England won. Good day for football. I usually have a soft spot for the underdog but Swedens negative and boring football reminded me of Greece back in 2004, just awful to watch. Happy it didn't make it further.
Jordan Pickford actually looks like a winning goalie. The same way Courtois looked yesterday. Good and important saves from both of them.
I will be rooting for Croatia in an hour.

Just goes to show that it's all about the team aspect. Yes England haven't beaten any real heavyweights but they're sailing along smoothly to the semis despite not having an incredibly talented team. But they have balance and fluidity and that brings the best out of everyone. It's something that most forget in this day and age of stat obsession and individual/balon dor obsession.
when is someone going to have the guts to go against this nonsense about Sterling can't be dropped, a goal will come, leaving him out will destroy the lad blah blah. yes, he works hard but so would anyone picked to play for england. one very poor miss today, another where he was very fortunate the flag went up. against better teams than sweden, we'd be heavily punished for those. I'm not saying pick rashford ahead of him but I am saying pick someone ahead of him. On another note, we'll never leave Young out of our side next season now. Oh. well, less than five weeks until we kick of the season!
