The Anglo-Dutch rivalry for supremacy has a long history. The Battle of Dortmund promises to be yet another chapter for rival historians to document the deeds of their heroes led by Gareth Southgate and Ronald Koeman.

Hope the Dutch continue to play attacking football as opposed to the borefest that England constantly serve up.

Dropping Harry Kane would be a good start.

Well, England played a blinder in the first half and Koeman changed his system in the second half to stifle the game- Who'd've thought.

England deserved the win for playing with such endeavour and proving the doubters wrong.

38 year old and 34 year old defenders to mark a 25 year old- That shows how ordinary the France team was.

Not sure how well they'll deal with the likes of Saka, Foden or Palmer, who're even younger.

I know- I posted directly after you on the Navas Nacho section. I wasn't sure if that comment was positive or negative to an England win.

I was just reiterating my belief in either England or the Netherlands being able to handle Spain.

Zibala is clearly trolling for trollings sake- I doubt your comment was even read by now.

My prediction was right on the money.
