Switzerland are flying too - they’ve also gone further than Germany in the last three tournaments! Yeah tbf, it probably says more about Germany than anyone else? Out at knowouts in the last 2 WCs and the last of 16 in the Euros. A slump for sure Exactly.

Another solid performance by Southgate’s England side in a major tournament, bit dodgy first 30 mins but after the first goal it was never in doubt. Cue the knockers telling us that Southgate is to defensive I quite like a couple of knockers sometimes...

As someone put on a media forum...
If England stretched their legs, who knows what would happen...?
Strength in depth. Quality competition on the bench. Partnerships being formed all over the pitch. Diverse scoring options.
There's plenty of positivity to draw on, but I must admit we wobbled first 20 mins. After that, we must have made a tweak because we found that little bit of space just outside their defence, behind their mid and exploited it as a bounty!
We're winning by playing charming football....in England!?

Well, that was more comfortable than i expected, fair play to Gareth, made some big selection calls and the end justified the means i reckon, cracking goals !

How many England fans were over there approx? Not heard on the media as at most world cups they say we have 20,30,40k etc but it definitely sounds like a lot less this time. Really glad you had a good time and saw some great England performances

I kept bumping into the same faces at most bars so certainly not loads of us.

Penalties reminded me of the 'Manse Moment' at Wembley.Japan's Pens were dreadful and their fans need to develop more than one single chant!!!!!!! Other than that,well done.

Weak penalties there by Japan. A shame, as fair play they made some noise and represented themselves finely.
I hope they're not crying too much. Or clearing up that Jap's eye mess will take a while..

Really glad you had a good time and saw some great England performances Reckon about 4/5k have travelled. However, our numbers are boosted massively by expats who live not only in Qatar but in the region. That probably adds another 10k onto our support each game.

Anyone remember when they were a kid, and at Xmas you had the game of the day and year? Ball? Hoop? Space Invaders? Play Station? FIFA?
You played it, played it, played it again and again and became half good at it?
Then, part way through the day a p!ssed up old relation thought they could relive their childhood and take you on at it....but had no clue?
You are Brazil. They are South Korea.
Simples ....
