Ukraine had thrown in the towel. Why bother - if they were pressing and getting anywhere I think we'd have had the extra but when it's such a one-way street. We had a few minutes passing it across the back line and they just stood watching.Ref couldn’t even be bothered to play the injury time

Easy work. No injuries, no yellows, 4 goals, no goals conceded. Doesn’t get any better than that.

It's coming home. Brilliant win
No goals conceded, Kane on fire.

Can imagine that ******* off gamblers waiting for another goal
Just seems odd to me that a ref can decide which rules he is going to apply and which ones he's just not going to bother with.
Well, it does. It could always be 9-0 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50092694
Anyone like to give Southgate some credit for that, or do you only lament him when we dont score freely?
Come on lads, let’s give him some credit and say well done
So far, the two times that I've asked if we win the tourney will it be credit to southgate or in spite of southgate, the replies have been very largely in favour of in spite of Southgate. I'm guessing that will still be the case if I ask the question a third time
I've seen it in the prem too a few times. I think there is discretion in the rule, but I'd be interested to know the wording if anyone is in the know.

Absolutely I’ll give credit. It was brilliant. Different level to anything else in the QF’sAnyone like to give Southgate some credit for that, or do you only lament him when we dont score freely?

I already did - see above. And I'm delighted to see Kane find form later in the tournament rather than the reverse. Now please please keep it going and don't go AWOL again Mr H.K.
Wahhhhh Southgate wahhhhhhh
Alright Southgate, we'll give you a pass for the last two games.Anyone like to give Southgate some credit for that, or do you only lament him when we dont score freely?

But don't think about that MBE just yet.
Yeah, I wonder what the wording is, I thought it was supposed to be a mandatory 30secs or something per substitute, I didnt think a ref could just say, tell you what, this losing team arent going to come back from this, so sod it, we wont bother with any extra time at all. I mean, if they are allowed to make that call, then fair enough though.

Criticise his tactics, team selection or whatever but no one can argue he plays the media game at a major champs better than any other England manager (and that sort of circus has derailed many other tournament runs). He's also got this team playing as a more cohesive together unit than any one in my lifetime.

The best news of the night is that……….

I'm beginning to warm to him. But the proof is 2 games away. Denmark will be more of a challenge, so let's just see how we go. If Kane keeps scoring and Southgate keeps this roll going then we will all be very very delighted. I still wonder at the Scotland result though. And having seen Denmark tear up the Czechs in that first half, couldn't/shouldn't we have been doing the same? This match was excellent, but it doesn't negate the wider picture. Two more wins though and it's a very different debate.

Pretty impressive that all the goals were on the fly, not from corners or free kicks, and 3 out of 4 were from headers.
