We're in complete agreement As a neutral you want entertainment As a fan you want entertainment - and winning football BUT, as a fan, you'd also usual prefer to scrape a win than completely outplay an opponent but still lose - especially if that's a big rival My original point is that as EURO 2021 progresses we are less likely to see open expansive football unless one team scores early England are a case in point. They have some of the best attacking players in the tournament yet Southgate has set the team up to be controlled and not to concede goals. Personally I'd rather see them being a bit more attacking but I understand his decision making. If it results in going deep into the tournament then he is vindicated. TO BE CLEAR - I am not saying I like watching attritional football. That's the difference-I''ve stated before I'd look at club football differently because I'm partisan. And partisan not just for football reasons as I've already explained. The Euros is different as it's about football and entertainment. EASY.👍

Weren't you slagging off England for not being winners before? Now winning is not enough and you demand entertainment Make your mind up As it says above, Portugal were rubbish in 2016 but still won it. Most fans would be happier with that than being the entertaining losers No, I criticised England supporters and their media cheerleaders for not being the winners that they think they are! Big difference. I think we'd all agree that teams play shit football and can win. I don't go into any Euro game wanting it to be rubbish, who does?

Swiss haven’t read the script
One nil up at half time
They couldn’t could they?

What with the Spain/Croatia game before this is too exciting. Hope England bring it back to tedium tomorrow with a scuffed Sterling goal after 10 minutes and then game manage it out.

One of the best days of tournament football I can remember. Very enjoyable and unpredictable.
No sign of caginess yesterday Lord Em.
I really can't believe that the Swiss beat France.
Hoping England keep their stingy defensive record going later.

Yes, so much for caginess
Unbelievable evening. Portugal, France, Netherlands out. This is shaping up to be anyone's tournament.

That's the type of football I've been arguing for all along🤣 The teams who have beat some of the Tier 1 teams have been exceptional. Can Tier 2 teams like England rise to the challenge?

Television listings:
The BBC will be showing the England v Germany game except in Scotland, where it will be replaced by a rerun of Wish You Were Here.

I think if we want to win,we need to play at a fast tempo.Possession football for sure but not too slow in the build up.It’s not in our DNA.

Just seen the line up, utterly dreary and defensive minded.
