I'm pulling for them in the final, but I'm not sure they can beat Spain with the way they've been playing. Spain is looking tough.

Spain have certainly looked the best team of the whole tournament. England, on the other hand, have looked like they were saving up energy right from the group stage games by playing at a very slow walking pace. Southgate finally moved Foden to the No. 10 and he looked a different player at his preferred position. He was too isolated out on the left. He only missed scoring by a good save and the woodwork. It should be interesting to see him come up against Rodri in the final.

Will the Euro Championship come home? I doubt it but would be really pleased if it did. I was only a kid when England won it's only national championship back at the World Cup in 1966.

If they've been saving energy, then it's paid enough. From an untrained eye, they've just looked a bit sluggish. I really hope Southgate leaves Foden as the 10, goes with a back 4 against Spain, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Now that Spain are Euro champions it was gratifying to see Rodri recognized as player of the tournament. Too often it is the top scorer, but this team they recognized Rodri's superb ability to run the Spanish team Now City fans have to wait and hope his injury isn't too bad.

Southgate “steps down.”

Hadn't seen that. Not really surprised, though.

In Championship news, Preston North End and gaffer Ryan Lowe have parted ways under mutual agreement.

United nil-nil Fulham, 41st minute

United win, 1-0. Overnight will be their longest spell at the top of the table this season . . .

 

[OakMtn4Bama]

Showtime! Feel sorry for the players in a way. They are forced to play year round these days. No time to recover.

 

[HighlandOak]

Preston North End have appointed Paul Heckingbottom as manager, replacing Ryan Lowe.

Let's hope Heckingbottom can get North End promoted as he did Sheffield United!

Has anyone seen @selmaborntidefan lately? I was hoping to see him posting a bit more on proper football, with Ipswich getting promoted.

I think he stepped away from the board.

Chelsea beat the Wolves 6-2. The best they have looked in quite some time. Albeit, against the Wolves, but they had lost three in a row to them.

Nottingham took out Liverpool!

Nottingham took out Liverpool!

That's crazy.

So tired of hearing about Arsenal's injury list - Odegaard basically, the others were knocks when Man City has three long term injuries - DeBruyne, Bobb, and Rodri as well as Grealish, Walker, and Doku. City only has 15 fit non-goalkeeper players available currently and will play the kids more than likely against Spurs in the Caraboe Cup Wednesday. The London media just concentrate on London teams and forget about the other 15 clubs in the EPL.

Manchester United moves on to a new manager. Who is the right choice for them going forward?
