I think that Spain will win at this point but at least it’ll be deserved.

Gutted that France lost. Well done to Spain.

Praying that the Netherlands don’t win.

Anyone but them.

Spain deserve to win the most, despite me being English. Probably the only team out of the top 4 that are playing properly.
France is out, finally! and the first semi final was better than I expected, good match. England as next elimination tomorrow, please!

England has achieved more than deserved at this EURO. The team played the worst football of the semi finalists and no one disagree with me, I am sure.

He is bloody good, but not world class. For all we know, it's a one season wonder. He is only 16, don't put too much pressure on him, and he will thrive

The only way Lamine Yamal can fail is injuries, he's too good to fail otherwise. He's an all timer, I have watched football for decades. He's an all timer, the eye test doesn't lie.

You’ve watched football longer than that poster has been alive. You know your stuff.

Stats are one thing, but there are intangibles. This kid was running around seasoned top class players and running the game.

If no injuries stops him and he is able to play constatly at this level, he would be the next wonderboy, the next Mbappé, no doubt.
Spain definitely deserve to be in the final! Positive football the whole way through the tournament, and I hope they go on and win!

I just don’t want the Netherlands to win (they might win though), plus I’m English.

But there is a problem with media as well. Yeah he is good and he is only 16, but if the English press keep bigging him up and overhyping him, he will just turn out as the next Dele Alli or Jesse Lingard. We all said Dele Alli would be world-class when he had his first 2 seasons at spurs, look at him now. He had domestic issues, yes, but I think the English hype also got to him

It's tough though, so much growing to do between 16 to 21-23 and yet because he is so talented, he will get overplayed against adults.

If we keep hyping him up tho, he will turn out like Dele Alli and Rhian Brewster and Mason Greenwood.

We need to keep him grounded

I wonder if they’ll be calls for Southgate to quit if England don’t win the tournament especially if they don’t even make into the final.

It would make sense to me.

Same with Deschamps.

Southgate most likely will leave. I am 99% sure he is leaving

RIP then with Deschamps.

Some people would hope that Southgate would leave but I doubt that this will happen.

The players probably deserve better.
