Semi Final 2: Netherlands vs England live from the BVB Stadion Dortmund. Wednesday ITV1 8pm

[Wavelberry]

England need a Dutch goal.

[m_fenton]

I think Netherlands are playing with a lot more structure this half, it isn't just England slowing down.

[Gary_Parker]

Is Kane dropping deep his natural game or instructions? Either way his manager should be able to rectify that, surely?

Is it me or do England look again like they are happy with a draw? Or has Koeman really managed to turn the possession game around somewhat?

They let Gareth have an opinion

Don’t think it’s a case of happy with a draw. More happy to be patient. In a way I don’t like

[aiston]

Take Kane and Bellingham off now.

Jesus Christ.

England are an inverted V in attack. Literally noone in the middle.

This happened against earlier teams. I think Koeman has adapted.

[arenaross]

I can't take another 30-60 minutes of Harry Kane.

not really

[Haguey]

Harry, it's time to go.gif

Controlling the game, I would say. It's comfortable possession but they've got 30+mins to score. No need to rush at 100mph.

Holland are offering nothing at the moment. Whenever they get the ball into positions 25 yards away from goal, they boot it out of play

[Heartwork]

Palmer, Eze and Toney warming up?

[m_fenton]

Foul given against Foden there 

[Ackter]

[Haguey]

bent ref!

[aiston]

Did Southgate give them a bollocking for playing well in the 1st half or something?

 

[Darren Moores Mum]

Nerves increasing

[CFuller]

[Freakiie]

Did Saka even get a single touch yet in the second half?

[Redshift]

Pickford

[Darren Moores Mum]

Jesus. Fantastic ball in.

Netherlands have gone all pragmatic on us.

Get Simons off, he's had his one good moment. 

[Rick87]

Good save

[Haguey]

Just now, CFuller said:

Good meme imo as you have also used a ref accused of being bent as the ref

[metal_guitarist]

Hell of a cross

[DJ]

oooooooooooo

[georginho_juventusygr]

Pickfooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooord.

Wake up, England. 

[Heartwork]

All this talk of "we're good at penalties now" just tempting fate for us to lost 3-0 in the shootout.

[Haguey]

T-REX ARMS! What a guy

[CFuller]

Big save Pickford.

Doesn't let England down.

[Astafjevs]

These two could play until this time tomorrow, and the pattern of this game is that Holland won't score a single goal from open play. Set pieces is their best hope.

If this game goes to pelanties we'll lose it.

[The_jagster]

We're a bit poorer again

[darren1983]

People hate Southgate so much they can't see that the Dutch have changed things up and denied England the space they had first half?  

[kopsy101]

Virg bullying Walker

OTF in total blinkers shock

[Ackter]

Kane at left back apparently.

[Redshift]

We're going to **** this up aren't we.

But that would involve giving Koeman credit, and apparently everyone thinks he's pish

If Pickford gets a red, we need Kane to take the gloves and his arc will be complete.

Have a day off ffs

Yeah but he never adapts to that.

[TalkSport]

So much space on left, so probably a broken record, but would love to see Gordon on to exploit it.

[Ackter]

Just now, Redshift said:

Unless Southgate suddenly learns how to change things up, yes.

[aiston]

Change something Southgate ffs.

They had terribly open spaces in defence in the first half, not so much since half time

[Ackter]

Are there any managers out there brave enough to drop their underperforming star players?

[Haguey]

Bent ref does not like Weggy

Ah, fair enough that time

[Smallen]

Jude’s been hopeless again
