Well I wasn't expecting fireworks in that 1st 45 but I wasn't expecting that either. Bunch of granny shaggers the lot of them.

I think it is fairly clear the players are not as talented as they think they are, or painted to be. The quality of the passing alone is inferior to just about everyone else.
But at least we saw a team spirit in evidence.

The misery is prolonged for another game.

Bit disrespectful to granny shaggers there imo.

Nonsense, I thought it was a great game. The underdogs really took it to their fancied opponents and rather than sit back after taking the lead, went looking for more before being undone by brilliantly taken goals. Georgia, you will be missed!

England = mid table muck?

Bit worried that Guehi will miss the next game. Can see the defence offering the Swiss plenty of chances

Take that excitement over a bog standard 2 0 victory. NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA Hey Jude. Get in. Support your country and be proud to be English. Easy to moan. Support your team when times are bad, that's when they need it the most. Anyone can moan. It's easy to moan. We're in the last 8. Loving it. Loves got the world in motion.

Its a knock out? No mid table muck in knock outs. Result no mater what. Extra time. Penalties. Bring on the Swiss.

They'll get there chances but 1 goal conceded every 180 minutes is pretty solid tbf.

England have never really found anyone to replace Emil Heskey - until this competition when we suddenly have discovered 10.

Kane had an absolute mare in the first 90 minutes but still chipped in with a goal eventually. Repaid Gareth's faith.

Pleased you’re loving it. So what’s your view on those wonderful England fans at the match booing the team seconds before the new Pele’s goal and chucking beer cups at the manager? The whole England circus is a national embarrassment and stinking out a very decent tournament again. Apologies but I’m certainly not proud of it.

Those fans are idiots. Hardly fans are they. Lets throw cups at Southgate. Clearly a minority. Can't tarnish all fans with the same brush though. The 0.5% are clearly idiots.

Belgium have two strikers offering less rhan Kane on his own. Lukaku doesn't help his own players out.

Let’s hope that was the worst game of the tournament. A dreadful waste of time.

Where's this decent tournament been hiding? It's been utterly dreadful, barely a memorable game, and many awful sides (England one of them) the Georgians were decent, but the rest of it has been an absolute dirge.

You can’t expect every game of over 50 to be good but I think the majority have been. Yes, Georgia were excellent and their match with Turkey will be remembered as a classic. And there have been other attractive teams - I’ve particularly enjoyed watching Austria, Germany, Spain and Turkey. You couldn’t wish for as dramatic game as to ight’s and that was goalless. Instead of getting so uptight about their underachieving England team, people should enjoy the tournament!

We're not under-achieving. We are in the QF.

The tournament, up to now has been mostly dross.    
Pleased to have only watched England and Scotland games and a few highlights of other games.

Worst of all are the panels of pundits AND ITV having such long lead up to kick offs so they can show 30 minutes of adverts.  
I miss all of these lead ups, lots of better ways to use my time.

If you have only watched England and Scotland games you have seen the worst two teams in it for entertainment. Germany and Spain have shown how to play and some of the smaller nations have given it a right go.
Worst thing for me has been the holding which refs have done nothing to deal with. But the players seem to accept it.
