I get that impression from the entire squad, everyone seems to be happy to do their job and accept their job even if it’s a lesser role. Watkins tonight, konsa coming in for the quarters and toney for the penalty and the assist in the Ro16. International tournaments is about the entire squad just cause ur not starting you still have a job. mainoo is the best player in the world

[@darthwiizius]

@@hjc6273 Toney even played a huge role in Jude's overhead kick, he drags defenders out making the space open. The majority of the work centre forwards do is tended to not be noticed because it's off the ball. But yeah, the brightest light we've had on this run is the strength off the bench, great attitude. I'm not sure you can claim Mainoo is the best in the World, not yet at least, but he is a genuine prospect. I think the Mancs have got a real pearler in this lad, and he's in a position they were desperate to fill.

Brilliant Oli so happy for you and Cole

[@paulgee1952]

Proper team Performance . Well done ,deserved it today. Spain to make it a cracking final . Hope saving it all for the last game to give the best.

[@mattcca7741]

After a tepid start to the tournament, the introduction of Mainoo into the England engine room and then Shaw on the left has transformed the team. Much more balanced and capable.

[@nihadnsirov2290]

It's the main event on Sunday. Big games need big players to step up. Let's see who takes the podium!

[@Giantist]

I am absolutely buzzing for the win and proud of the boys don’t get me wrong, but we cannot play that cagey like we did for the entirety of the second half tonight when we go up against Spain. We need to go all out when the opportunity arises.

[@jayjay1drum1skate]

If we played like that against the Netherlands changes for the second half we would have lost the game by more than one goal.

[@AkaChinGlish]

That's why I like Harry Kane because he is really humble. Well done England! Great passed by Cole and sensational finished by Ollie

[@mafeetaritchie6927]

He's a cheat

[@bakedpt502]

Fair play to Ollie, and Palmer seemed to be the only one willing to make those passes. Big up the subs

What a player palmer is very strong proper player changes games respect to all the Englishmen

Credit where credit is due , Southgate got this one right .

[@DanielYolland-gu8gt]

He got them all right

[@IL7319]

@@DanielYolland-gu8gt Dont confuse obtaining a good result with getting it right. When you have a very talented team, any player can score and give you a good result. The first few games Fode, Bellingham, Saka, and Alexander out of position. Now Alexader is out and Mainoo is in. Foden and Saka in their right position, Bellingham still ou of position but Southgate has corrected a few things.

Your moment in history Ollie, well done bud. Let's bring it home

[@GlazersOut1989]

Kobbie reminds me of seedorf. A true number 8. Definitely more suited to going forward but can tackle too. He’s the most well rounded midfielder since Steven Gerrard. In the world.

[@Rivelino824]

Brilliant finish.!!!! Foden first half was genuinely world class looked levels above every player on the pitch.

[@liamodonnell1472]

When he’s on his game, he’s our most naturally gifted player by a country mile.

[@Rivelino824]

@@liamodonnell1472 Id agree and im a Manchester United fan. In and around the box he's devastating. I've heard he ran 10 kilometres tonight also. That's the best ive ever seen him play for England.

Comparing Watkins to Mbappe? How delusional are you? Clown.

By ur logic harry kane has scored 3 times the amount of goals as watkins,ivan Toney,Ronaldo,lol

[@Noltz-pe2ji]

Im surprised they interviewed a couple of players sidelining Cole Palmer whose brilliant assist led to the goal. The young man deserves credit also

[@braydok]

This team should be winning things with that talent, delighted for Ollie, big fan of his play. I don’t think they can beat Spain but if they get the mentality & shape right they possibly could.
