What an amazing weekend! Four great games, fair victor in each.

Did finally catch Spain/Germany on DVR. What a fantastic game. Not going to see much better with a 2-1 final score.

Hold onto the ball, Murray!
Southgate is nothing if not stubborn.

The 16-year-old becoming the youngest Euros scorer with probably the best goal of the tourney was wild.

Second wind now after that goal.
smooth finish by palmer. calmly picked out the corner rather than giving the keeper a save opportunity. it's rare to see such a clinical finish. both goals so far in this one were smooth.
England have been lucky that Spain are missing some quality looks on goal. some just missing the bar and others hit right at or near Pickford.

England goalie is keeping them in this game.

Wow. What a missed chance by England.
that was a quick whistle. at least 30 seconds to a minute was wasted by Spain faking injuries at the end. gutted for England, but Spain fully deserve this result and were the better side going in. they should have had more goals than they did today.

Best team won. For sure. Man the Spaniards do play pretty soccer though.
glad to see them getting back to it. it's great to watch.
It's also an embarrassment of riches with Spain as it often is. Yamal is only 17 and looks like a top player already. I thought England did well to pocket him today and perhaps that led to others getting left unmarked. when he figures things out he will be scary.

What a tournament. Euros NEVER disappoint.

Very pleased England finally got their due. Their coach is just crap. Maybe if he, I dunno, unleashed his electric winger for more than a few minutes in the entire tourney, they would have lifted the trophy.
Southgate had an Apollo Creed roster but played such negative tactics that he backed his own team into a corner only Rocky can get out of. The thing about Rocky is that it's pure fiction; you can't always stink, go behind, and pull out the miracle. England finally got Clubber Langed.
Oh, and so sweet that Pickford lost, because I friggin' hate the guy. He's good, and was probably their man of the match, but I hate the guy.

Pickford did play well at times. I would argue that Spain kicked the ball to him a lot. There was a weird play where Pickford either took a free kick or came way out of his goal to play a ball. he bombed it over all of his teammates heads straight to the other GK. he sometimes gets too emotional and does foolish things. I thought it was funny, but if I were an England supporter I would be questioning that type of stuff.
And Southgate resigns

Fark! I wanted him to stay both to hold England back and so Howe couldn't be tempted away. Granted, Howe has had his warts and cheesed me off a lot last season, but this is the absolute wrong time to lose a coach.
well this means the USA might hire Southgate, according to some people. Also means that some of the candidates that USA may have been interested, like Pochettino, may be interviewing for England.

Oh dear lord, don't let us be stupid enough to hire Southgate.
