England to win by 2+goals. Losing this would be on par with losing to Iceland at the last Euros.

I have a feeling tonight could be a tough watch. Perversely, I think not playing at Wembley tonight could be an advantage, patience will be key.

I’m not expecting England to come flying out of the blocks. Ukraine have had to overcome an attritional 120 (more like 130) minutes against Sweden to get this far, and they will be wary of our defensive record so far - going behind against this England side is a tough place to come back from. I can’t see Ukraine having the energy to press high up the pitch, so they will defend deep, deep, deep. We’ve absolutely got the quality to pick that lock, but I’m not expecting it to come quickly or easily.

We’ll get through this, but people shouldn’t be despondent if it it isn’t a classic. It takes two to tango and Ukraine, who are no mugs if not exactly world beaters, won’t want that.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

Everybody has been Gilmouring about Phillips, and particularly Rice, during the days since the Germany match. I didn’t think they were that good. Havertz was able to find space between the midfield and defence and Ukraine do have players on the bench that can exploit that if we start to panic in the latter stages.

I’m expecting this to be tight.

Ukraine will have possession and we won’t be able to press for long periods in warmer conditions.

Andriy Shevchenko is beginning to look a bit like Steve Coogan impersonating a Ukrainian football manager

Is it me or is the pitch not playing all that greatly? the ball seems to be running quite slowly on it, I appreciate the tempo is not great with the hot conditions but I think part of it is down to the pitch also.
