Also, Cole Palmer was one of the best players in the league last year, and he brings him on for less than 20 minutes? Utter madness.

Agreed. I’d have Palmer and Ollie Watkins in the starting line up.

Kane is too slow for international football, in terms of stretching the team. He’s too deep.

Denmark go through in second – thanks to a yellow card shown to Slovenia coach

In a bizarre turn of events in Group C, Denmark finished in second place because of a yellow card shown to a member of Slovenia’s coaching staff earlier in the tournament.

After goalless draws against Serbia and England respectively on Tuesday night, Denmark and Slovenia both ended the group on three points, with the same goal difference of zero.

In usual circumstances, the number of goals scored would determine which team finishes highest in the group. Except Denmark and Slovenia were level on that metric, too, with two goals each.

From there, it comes down to disciplinary records during the tournament. But at full-time of their respective games, both sets of players had received six yellows in the group. Again, they could not be separated – until a booking for one of Slovenia’s coaches, in the game against Denmark, proved to be decisive.

18 yellow cards and 2 red cards in the Czech-Turkey game last night, lol. Good game.

Here's how the knockout stage looks:

How come so many games involving the Turks end up in being nasty ill-tempered affairs = = Answer = = It because, its The Turks !
I've hated them ever since Ireland played them in a qualifier years ago, their fans physically assaulting Irish players after final whistle. Fans always booing/whistling when the opposition has possession, throwing stuff at players taking a corner etc while their players do nasty tackles and 'shithousery' unsporting antics etc.

England stinking the place out again.

Some if their players look fking awful: Kane, Saka, Rice, Bellingham. Terrible.

Southgate refusing to make substitutions.

Hopefully Slovakia finish the job and send the most boring team in history back home.

They're sitting back again on their lead. The dopes might go out on penalties yet if they're not careful😃
