Spain finishing 2nd and getting out of their way.

France the heavy favorites and Netherlands the best team in their half are out.

They don't need to do much to reach the final, just beat an underwhelming Germany at home. They also have a better squad than anyone in the other half.

Is it finally coming home?

Considering Czech Rep beat the Dutch, Swiss beat the French and the Austrians played brilliantly against Italy.. I would stop the whole easy route nonsense.

It is written that they will go to out tamely, wholly out of place compared to the games we've seen so far in the knockouts.

If they beat Germany tomorrow, I think they'll make it to the final. Home advantage in their remaining matches (aside from QF) will be huge.

We will beat Germany by 2 or 3 goals then lose 1-0 to Sweden

There is no favorites anymore, everyone fecking up everyone. Would be foolish to take anything for granted this year.

As good a chance as they’ll get. Don’t trust Southgate to get the tactics right though.

I'm sorry lads. I have accidentally cursed you.

I predicted France, Portugal and England(in that order) to win the tournament. You guys must surely be next :(

Everyone seems to know the scoreh they've seen it all before. They just know, they're so sure that England's going to throw it away, going to blow it away. But I know they can play because I remember.

‘Just that small task of beating the Germans’. Honestly do people not remember this is England ffs.

Still don't think this an 'easier' draw to the final than the 2010 draw was. But yeah, Germany are the only team I wouldn't fancy Southgate boring himself to a 1-0 win against left for me, that means little in general, but yeah.

I’m gonna say an England vs Italy final… I wouldn’t mind that as i had a tenner on Italy to win the tournament at the start so wouldn’t be bothered who won out of them.

We're due a win at least against the Germans

Worrying though is how they pin back teams and force a goal

Wouldn't write off Sweden or Denmark now. If Switzerland can beat France then why not, England have hardly looked like a great team so far.

This time tomorrow there will probably be an investigation into how it went wrong for England after being humbled by Germany.

We ain't winning sh1t. England always find new and exciting ways to fail. Though... I think it's 50 50 tomorrow and the half day is booked off to find a boozer in town

Nothing has changed. England are one of half a dozen teams that could have won it. I didn’t have Holland in that group.

denmark are perhaps the dark horses.

Whichever teams wins, will get some luck, let’s hope it’s England.
