Games 31 and 32: Denmark vs Serbia live from the Fußball Arena München ITV4 8pm AND England vs Slovenia live from the Cologne Stadium ITV1 8pm

[aiston]

Too late to poach the Austria manager ?

[Darren Moores Mum]

It's so slow

[Weezer]

They might not all have the quality to necessarily do anything dangerous with it but every single team in this tournament except Scotland look more comfortable on the ball than England do.

Nobody wants the ball under pressure, or at all in a lot of cases. No runners either.

[Pukey]

Bit more controlled in last few minutes after a rough start.

[Redshift]

This is the first prolonged piece of possession we've had since the first 20 minutes of the Serbia game. Maybe this was the plan all along.

[Astafjevs]

It's been 13 mins guys

Dropping deep as a striker isn't a bad thing but always feel Kane drops too far...

main thing is he doesn't have the pace to get back quickly, so you need someone else running beyond him

We're a bit all over the place here.

More bong than bang 

[aiston]

The plan must be to lure Slovenia into a false state of security and then pounce on them...

[sc91]

Spending more time looking at your phone is a good barometer of how dull this is.

[GunmaN1905]

Btw, now they returned to usual Allianz Arena camera angle.

What was the point of higher up one that was used, I wouldn't know.

[m_fenton]

Never mind congestion at no.10, Kane's getting in Rice's way ffs.

[Synthahols_for_Girls]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

About 6 years too late

[Smallen]

John Stones this tournament sheesh

[arenaross]

When does the growing into the tournament begin? 

[Anthrax Dave]

Awful stuff so far.

Feels like 130

[Pukey]

Some of the unforced errors we've been making all tournament are abysmal

Yeah, the setup and tactics may be rubbish but some of the players have been woeful doing the basics

[Goldy]

Slovenia are winning this if England keep playing like this.

I mean, not even any passing options created when England have the ball, always got told to create triangles at school to give these options but these guys are doing nothing of the sort.

[VP.]

Trippier gonna get sent off ireckon

[CFuller]

It's like watching Mike Bassett's England play against Egypt - in every group game.

[JJ72]

Embarrassing  performance yet again.

Lot lower contact than it originally looked. 

[HOORAY HENRIK]

Serbia are fairly clueless in attack.

[Darius1998]

Slovenia look like the better team so far.

Shame they don't have much quality in midfield because this team works very well together.

[Craigus89]

This is absolutely turgid. 

[sc91]

Here comes the goal.

Last ten minutes of the quarter finals when we are 1-0 down to someone like Switzerland

I realise I’m the most optimistic England fan in here right now 

[CFuller]

Yeeeee... ah, offside.

[JJ72]

That was fast...we can play 

[oche balboa]

Ok many not 

[Weezer]

Would have been a great goal if not for the offside.

[Robson 07]

Are we playing with a single pivot (Rice).  Gallagher is on the field somewhere but not where I expected to see him. 

[VP.]

Declan Rice is the only person constantly showing and wanting the ball.

[georginho_juventusygr]

Good idea, but offside.

[The Amazing Dale Watkins]

Aw offsides. That was actually really well played.

[RTHerringbone]

Excellent apart from the offside.

[Haguey]

Great move, shame but well off

[aiston]

They can actually play football !

Most of the ones in blue are too

[m_fenton]

At least I won't have to listen to Dixon if we go out soon.

[enigmatic]

We did a thing!!!

yeah, not sure the Ten Hag midfield is what people were asking Gareth for when they said England were boring...

He may as well take inspiration from the man he’s going to succeed 

[RTHerringbone]

Ooh, nice. Let's unleash Saka now.

Only person playing in midfield tbf. The other two CMs are playing super wide. This is more like our system from Euro 2020.
