A poor quality match so far. History suggests you don't want to run into the hosts at a tournament, particularly France, but England and Iceland will be chomping at the bit to get through tomorrow if this is all that stands between them and the semi finals.

I'd not be worried by either France or Ireland but to be fair I dont think they'd be overly worried by us unless we manage to start bagging a few goals.
Italy or Spain in the semi however...

Germany/Spain or Italy

Germans looked poor so far, wouldn't be afraid of them. Doubt we could break down the Italians and Spain have looked alright at times, but reckon we could at least score against them.

Wasn't confident we'd beat France at their gaff but with Kante suspended we might have a chance.

They were, but they were also playing against a knackered, demoralised, 10 man Republic of Ireland team. If you aren't looking impressive then you never will do. No doubting they have some fantastic individuals going forward, but defensively they look very poor.

Should be a good game.

(Provided we don't cock up against Iceland of course..)
