Reckon that might not be the last penalty shoot out we see from England this tournament so have to take some confidence from how well the 5 takers handled that.
i'm just going to put this out there; 3 THREE major semi finals now for Southgate; Bobby Robson and Tel Venables over achieved to get us to one, Eriksson et al squandered our last "golden generation" with none. But 3? At some point no matter how boring we are, no matter how "shit" we play or draws going for us... you gotta say thats pretty good and deserves respect.
I garauntee one day, perhaps decades from now we will be looking back and whistfully saying "in the southgate days"

Southgate and the players will likely see that as vindication but fuck it’s been a tough watch again.
A great set of penalties won it for us
Really feel for Switzerland, never a nice way to go out
It is comical how Southgate keeps getting away with it.
By contrast, Saka must feel on top of the world
Saying that, subs were on point and I think we have a great set of penalty takers.
But if Kane feels like he needs a rest, to get fit for the final, after that bump on the sidelines I wouldn't mind at all.
We'll let you wash them tomorrow, on condition you put them back on Wednesday!
