Another offside decision by a toe. Not sure why there was a huge hoo-hah over the German penalty decision in the analysis. It hit the defender's hand and the ball changed direction. I get there's a ball-to-hand argument but the rules seem pretty clear to me. From the stuff I've saw, I can't fault the ref and VAR this time. I think the outcry is more towards the laws themselves than the officials. As Ian Wright pointed out on ITV's coverage, refs are effectively having the game refereed for them.

Round 2: Switzerland 2-0 Italy Switzerland thoroughly outplay the Italians to send the champions out with a whimper. It's Switzerland's second consecutive quarter-final at the Euros and they await the winners of tomorrow's game between England and Slovakia. This is the 7th time in the last 10 Euros that the defending champions have failed to make the last 8. Italy really have gone backwards in recent years. Winning tournaments seems to curse them these days.

These 37 year old Slovakian journeymen look like 200m players

Can we sack a manager at half time? Southgate still thinks not having Kalvin Phillips is his only problem, changing your CM from Trent to Gallagher to Mainoo wont fix the sub par tactics or pattern of play

So the manager is at fault if the players aren't making runs or on the wings going forwards instead of passing backwards? That's the managers fault? Lee Dixon of all people was talking about the lack of movement is astonishing from the forward players. And the defending for the goal, where was Trippier and Guehi. I think the only thing worse than our performance is the referee who seems intent on going for the record yellow card count.

It's the managers fault if that's his tactics, retain the ball, recycle, don't give the ball away, play the percentages, given we do it every game it must be a tactic
At least this half they are ignoring him, decided to press and are going for it
Foden isn't a left winger so he ain't left winging, Trippier isn't a left back to he isn't left backing, Kane is unfit. Trent wasn't a CM, all these calls are the manager.
Nobody is going to run in behind because they are all on the bench or left at home

Yeah, there's no way a group of players with such a high level of attacking ability choose to play so negatively unless they've been instructed to do so.

I have no doubt at all that Southgate's specific instructions were:- "if you get in a position to cross the ball, please at all costs make sure you chip it in to their goalkeeper, or on to the head of one of their defenders" "if one of your fellow players is moving forward, please stand still and watch them"

Southgate's instructions to Harry Kane were "if you forget my instructions about standing still, and end up with the ball coming in your direction, please make sure you knock it out for a goal kick"

Southgate's instruction to everyone:- "In the event of a corner or attacking free kick, I order you to foul their defenders".

Lee Dixon: "England don't deserve to win".
The stats: Possession: ENG 63% : 37% SVK Shots: ENG 16:13 SVK Blocked Shots: ENG 7:3 SVK Touches In The Box: ENG 38:19 SVK Corners: ENG 9:1 SVK
So, Lee, in your expert analysis, Slovakia were the better team, and deserved to win ?
In my opinion, Lee, you don't deserve to be a pundit.

Round 2: England 2-1 Slovakia (AET) England somehow find a way to win after being a minute away from elimination. Jude Bellingham's overhead kick brought England level in the 5th minute of stoppage time before Harry Kane headed home the winner in the first minute of extra time. Huge question marks remain but England's attempt to s***house their way through the tournament (a la Portugal in 2016) continues and they will face Switzerland in the quarter-finals next Saturday.
