Apparently before tonight the Dutch has won their last five, and eight out of the last nine (or something similar) - not sure how they failed to qualify with that form, I presume they started poorly. They were very poor tonight but maybe England do deserve some credit for forcing that poor performance from them. England do have a lot of pace throughout the team, it?s weird to think that Harry Kane, arguably our best player, could weaken the team, but hope that isn?t the case.
If Southgate is bold enough to persist with Lingard over Alli and can get Sterling playing somewhere near like he does for City, then we might just get to a QF this year, which would be nice considering we?ve not won a knockout game since Ecuador 2006 :26:
