It was 16 years ago that England last reached a semi-final of a major competition when they drew with Spain 0-0 after extra time at Euro 2012 in England in the quarter-finals, but then went on to win the penalty shoot out 4-2, which of course was a huge surprise for England.
The England team before semi-final with Germany in 1996
Shearer, Gascoigne and Pearce in the starting line-up
England hardly ever win in a penalty shoot out, and true enough in the semi-finals that year, England drew 1-1 with Germany after extra time, and lost the shoot-out 6-5. We should say that Alan Shearer scored both his penalties in the quarter finals and semi-finals in 1996.
The time before when England did well in a major Championship, was at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, when the great Bobby Robson took England to the semi-finals, after the side had beaten Cameroon 3-2 after extra time in the quarter finals.
That was thanks to two penalties from Gary Linekar.
But there again England lost to West Germany on penalties 4-3 in the semi-final, after drawing the game 1-1 after extra time, and Peter Beardsley scored his penalty for England.
So we have to go back to 1966 for England’s only win ever in a major Championship, when we hammered Germany 4-2 after extra time at Wembley, with Geoff Hurst getting his famous hat-trick, and his West Ham team-mate Martin Peters scoring the second goal.
And with those famous last words from English commentator Kenneth Wolstenholme, when Geoff Hurst scored his third goal just before the end of the game, as he charged down the left wing with some England fans already on the field:
“They think it’s all over – it is now.”
I remember it well because my Dad and I knocked back the two vodkas we were about to down 30 minutes before that, when England had been winning 2-1, but Wolfgang Weber had the cheek to equalize for Germany after 89 minutes – yes it was a hand ball alright. 
What a shock that was, but England came back bravely with two extra time goals from Geoff Hurst, who had squeezed Jimmy Greaves out of the starting eleven during the tournament.
England will play Italy tonight in the quarter finals, and we must have a decent change of going through, although it looks like Roy Hodgson will be playing the defensive game he had England playing against Ukraine in their 1-0 win.
England are playing defensive against Italy?
It looks to be two teams fighting it out who are both much better on defense than they are in scoring goals.
We have no idea what will happen tonight, but we are hoping England can do it.
Of course then we will meet Germany in the semi-finals …… it’s good to hear that England are practicing penalties.
Let us know what you think.

I hope England takes it

It will be 1-0 to Italy unless something happens to change the balance of the game such as a red card or a penalty.
Hope i’m wrong but if i was a betting man (with any money left) thats the result id go for, maybe also with a double on Vettel to win in Valancia later too.
11 Grafton83 // Jun 24, 2012 at 11:36 AM
Would prefer to see Theo or Chamberlin starting instead of Young but SSN is reporting that we are starting with same eleven as the Ukraine game so no start for Caroll either.

@Grafton,
I’d be tempted to put money on Grosjean.
13 Toon1978 // Jun 24, 2012 at 11:43 AM
Milner to start then urrrggghhh. This kid has went backwards since joining Man City. For his own benefit as well as Johnson, they both need out of that club. English talent wasted in their reserves and at times no even making the bench. IMO, if Milner had of remained at A.Villa instead of chasing big money then i believe we would be seeing a much better player today. We seen how good he was at NUFC. Hopefully some club goes in to buy him. Same story for A.Johnson unfortunately. There is no way on this earth that Milner should start tonight, he has been awful but that’s just my opinion.
14 Grafton83 // Jun 24, 2012 at 11:49 AM
Didnt he crash on the last street circuit in Monaco, he has been v.quick but for me no1 is catching that Red Bull even though I don’t really like Vettel I think he’ll lead from start to finish.
Odds are 8-1 for Grosjean though, you’d make a tidy sum if you’re right.
15 shearermania // Jun 24, 2012 at 11:50 AM
somehow I think this is going to be a cracking match…on paper both teams play equally boring and defensive but after watching the tripe of last nights match france vs spain which was the worst of the tournament i think this is going to be a ripper 4-3 England ( hattrick from lescott on 3 corners)

21 Tsunki // Jun 24, 2012 at 11:56 AM
Indian @1 – your answer please, sir? We are still waiting for why you HOPE England don’t win. You’re not Sepp Blatters son-in-law are you?
Cupid – You posted my exact thoughts on Ba, spot on. He is an unusual case with extenuating circumstances, and as such the club I think appreciates this, and that’s why we bought Cisse and are eyeing players like De Jong.
Dead right about having to move Simmo on before tying up a new RB, although this is about balancing the books more than being loyal to Simmo. Having said that, if Simmo drags his heels, I think they may force him to go and still buy their RB. I just think they want to get his fee in BEFORE they buy.
Ranger – how can we get shot of this tick? He’s like some sort of blood-sucking parasite. He will never fulfil his talent as his head is totally ruined from a very early age.
Milner starts. Oh well. I always thought he was a decent player for us, but I don’t believe despite his travels that he has actually gone on to better things. In other words, he fulfilled hs potential with us and he’s no more an International player than Downing, also mediocre. But at least Milner has a better cross accuracy rate (and don’t throw stats at me, it’s a perception thing).
22 shearermania // Jun 24, 2012 at 11:58 AM

I understand what you’re saying, but Roy clearly trusts Milner to work his socks off for the team, and stay disciplined. He’s a clever, hard working player, and I’m not sure you can say that about Walcott who is pretty much the only other choice for RW.
I remember when Milner started playing CM at Villa, I genuinely thought he’d be a future England captain. When will these players learn that moving to a club like City or Chelsea very very rarely works out for young Englishmen.

29 Tsunki // Jun 24, 2012 at 12:07 PM
England are indeed a couple of points above ordinary. Having said that, there are a couple of stars who aren’t quite there due to the historic ‘underacheiver’ inferiority complex our press have hammered the national side with since 1970. If we got a good win and I mean a win with a good ball-on-the-ground performance, combined with a lack of media expectation, we may quietly build up enough confidence to keep going in a way that looks like we actually enjoy our job. And there’s nowt wrong with Parking the Bus. Do what you’re good at, it’s all part of the game.

Yes i understand Milner offers hard graft but at this level we also need someone like Walcott that can make things happen in an instant. He was on the pitch only a few minutes and he changed the game against Sweden. Milner does have flashes of brilliance but when he does get to the byline most of the time he can’t even beat the first man with a cross. I would say 2/10 attempts beats the first man. Like i said, if he had of stopped at Villa then we would be seeing a better play all together.

Hey I’m scottish but enjoy watching England play, yes that’s right lol.. I watch epl like its an obsession and hate Scottish football so for me to watch a team full of players that you idolize in the epl and then hate them because there in another shirt is not right! I want the players I enjoy watching to do well, as it’s better for there clubs. Anyways my point is I have read into a lot of the past billion years of Italy v England games etc… And because of the role reversal in technical play it’s goinga be a strange encounter and an amazing one at that.. Going by the teams the way they play England can’t lose if they stuck to there game plan and it balances out everything Italy has. So for me England win

Nasri is a talented player but he is also a grade A W..ker. He seem’s to think to much of himself. I don’t even know why Blanc picked HBA for France as he barely used him.

39 Tsunki // Jun 24, 2012 at 12:17 PM
Throughout the recent history of this blog, Indian has nagered, confused, irritated and generally annoyed, mostly with his infamous bandwagon shola-bashing with the likes of the not-very-missed brutooon. He did recently temper his bizarre cross-contiental ramblings with a modicum of sense and inoffensive observation, but curiously I believe that with his post @1 he may very well have drawn himself into the same vortex as his erstwhile shola-hating blogmate.
In other words Indian – unless you can conjure up an Oscar Wilde-type wriggle out of your inflammatory anti – English post, you may have finally (check out the idiom carefully) cooked your goose.

walcott
a johnson (imo he doesnt come up short when playing among man city elite)
kyle walker
a cole
sturridge
i know theyre not all at the tourny but i think given a chance these players have the ability to impose themselves in games if roy gives them a chance they do it in prem and cl so i dont see why not. we certainly have the quality to impose ourselves on the likes of sweden ukraine.

Exactly mate. They know no different though in their defence. They have never experienced getting up at 5am, going to work and doing a 12 hour shift 6 days a week for under £500. These Footballers have been pampered all their lives and to be fair i suppose that’s going to happen considering the price of players these days. N.Ranger is a prime example. He is doing something we all would love to do but he is p1ssing it up the wall and he won’t realise the opportunity he has now until he is to old and he is stacking shelves in bloody Tesco.

Why are england boring to watch for playing defensivly
But spain are world class because they pass it around the middle all game, i understand that its good how they can pass it but how people watch a season of barca is beyond me… After 1 game i’m bored as f***, passing it around the middle without much threat and then every now and then trying to attack but of it fails just go back to the middle…
The commentators saying there passing is too good for there opponents… Well now that teams just let them pass it at the middle and when they come foward counter, real madrid are the new top dogs in spain…
Also hate the commentators talking about xavi, like yesterday, 4 times he said “a mistake by xavi, u only get one a match”

Ok Indian, it is a NUFC blog, but NUFC is an English PL team, predominanly followed by Englishmen. As such, a random anti-English statement with no qualification will not go down well and you knew that. If you were supporting an Indian squad which was feasibly in reach of competing against us I would understand. But you support Italy – have you always supported them, or have you recently (as even maybe today) just decided to root for them? Whatever the case it is immaterial. Strangely I am not objecting on pure patriotic grounds, more on the thought that your strange utterings are invariably deliberately irritating, like a playground insult, a thumbing of the nose thing. You are a gratuitously controversial character. From now on Indian, I have taken a personal dislike to you and your ‘opinion’ and I also want to confirm my long standing distrust that you use ‘Magpie’ in your name.
You are now officially superfluous IMHO.

One of the good things about this blog is that it is global. There’s lads on here from Peru, Denmark, India, Malaya, Australia. We all love the Toon but national loyalties are different.
I can’t stand the English National team – there are some disgraceful characters donning the shirt, and even worse the way they are hyped up by a braying national media. Okay there’s some decent players, I don’t like Gerrard but admire him as a player, and I always wanted Shearer to score but they are not my team. Newcastle are.
Because we have two players there, I had hoped France would rise above the dressing room infighting and play more than the sum of the parts, but Blanc can’t hack it.
Football is global and it is right the Toon should have support across the globe Support England if you’re English, allow the rest of us to support our own national sides. Indian has a problem. He doesn’t have a national football side of any merit. So he can pick who to support anyone he likes. Am not bothered. Don’t like him slagging Shola, or preening when he gets first post, but he does talk some , and it ain’t good getting personal – remember Angry giving anyone who dared to disagree with him a dump of verbal diaorheaa. Back off us non-English.

Most people respect what the Spanish do and understand it is very difficult to do.
I find it dull as a lot of the time they are waiting for a mistake and not forcing the game. I much prefer the arsenal style which requires precise passing but is more direct and quicker paced.
Technically opera music is far superior to pop music or bands but most people would rather listen to pop/rock than opera.
Just becaus it is technically good doesn’t make interesting to everyone. There is skill in beating a defender with pace and whipping in a great cross whilst running flat out.

I want England to do well, but I just don’t have that gut wrenching thrill and excitement about them anymore.
I used to be a HUGE fan, but I think the players are overhyped, overpaid prima donnas.
HOWEVER, this team do seem to be playing as a team unlike france who were a shambles – will they ever lose the arrogance, and play for each other?
Perhaps this is what england are – a hard working bulldog with little finesse or guile. Maybe I’ve expected too much all these year and this is part of a realignment of expectations.
In a way Roy Hodson is the perfect manager, serious, determined, not especially charismatic or arrogant. Just a plain old no no nonsense approach, english sensibilities for an english team.
Can this England surprise everyone?

…I can’t see many goals tonight, think we’re probably looking at a 1-0 or possibly a 0-0 / 1-1 then extra time.
Pretty well matched teams imo. Oh well, we’ve made it further that anyone thought and we may still be surprised by how far they go

A bit way off the mark there I think.
I find soaps boring, I can’t understand how anyone with half a brain can sit and watch them, same goes for big brother which in my opinion as to be the pinnacle of moronic tv, so please explain how do you equate this boredom with what I am not suppose to be able to do well.
I find Spanish football like barca’s football boring in the extreme as there is very little activity, I suppose it’s a little like watch fishing or chess, long periods of little activity suddenly a bit of movement then back to long periods of nothing.
I would sooner watch a championship game where the ball goes from end to end than watch the monotony of the Spanish pendulum like the ball swinging back and forth across the pitch.
Back and forth back and forth back and forth.

Belgrade…Can you define how much money is “some”?
Love him or hate him (or perhaps somewhere in the middle
), Ashley has put money in to the club and from what I understand, this money is interest free. Where does it stop? They’ve introduced a new business model, which “should” keep the club running smoothly for years to come and competing at a high level (perhaps not for the title yet, but pushing for European competition each year). For a team in the championship not that long ago we should all be delighted with the progress and have patience with the plan that is already in motion.

Cupid…Do you not find Big Brother to be an enlightening watch?
On the subject of the Spanish style, I wouldn’t personally go as far to say it’s boring, they teach kids from a young age the key is in possession and passing and they’re not wrong. I do think though, that they need to add something else to their game. Whilst their very good at their “trick”, they are pretty much a one trick pony.

157 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Jun 24, 2012 at 2:18 PM
Nufc786…That is fair enough…he did earn the title
Belgrade…”I love my club” – you expect that from Ashley? He’s not a Geordie, never supported the team, yet you expect him to love it like you or I? He is a business man and will run it like a business. Football isn’t always that simple though, as the “FC” has realised (or so it seems) and sometimes making the quick buck isn’t the smartest route in the long run.
The club did have debt before he arrived from “marquee signings” of the past, therefore we are having to balance our books.
Players come and go at all clubs, you need to be somewhat realistic. I was gutted when we lost Carroll, was worried when we lost Barton, Enrique and Nolan. But look at where we are, was it all just luck? Not in my opinion. There will be mistakes, of course, but overall things seem to be going well and improving, so relax.
The only thing to fear is fear itself, blah blah blah, yadda yah yah.
I think we have 2 players for each position, I imagine your statement meant to imply of a certain standard, perhaps at least 24 internationals should be the criteria?
158 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Jun 24, 2012 at 2:20 PM

Anyone caught the Spain France match, so guess we have seen most of Debuchy now that France are out? What are most opinion regarding him.
Debuchy is clearly a great threat going forward. He’s like 5 times the threat compared to Santon and that’s saying alot. With him in the side, most of our attacks are going to come from his flank almost guaranteed.
Defensively, i think he’s on par with Simpson. *flame shield on*

I’m really p*ss*d, I didn’t get to see any of France’s games, including the opener against us, so can’t comment on Debuchy.
From the sounds of it, he likes to get forward a lot. Do you think we might encounter issues with both Santon and Debuchy constantly bombing forward?
I suppose if everyone knows their roles it can be dealt with and Pardew seems to be able to get his plans across to the team….most of the time anyway

MFH – If you are still on here, your post defending Indian’s right to free speech is a bit of a hollow lecture mate as I think I have a record of being tolerant of some daft posts, as we all can say things out loud and regret them later. I have even given Indian the benefit at times, I remember coaxing him to apologise for some of his daftness which worked for him otherwise he would have been scorched from here long ago, along with his daft compatriot.
Your observation of patriotic allegiances vs Club is redundant as you unfortunately did not read my post properly, for me NUFC first way before the national side and I have no shame in saying that, but – Indian made an unqualified comment, either tactless and not thought through properly or deliberate in order to incite controversy and massage his ego by the subsequent retaliatory remarks it would invite.. I chose to massage him with a verbal baseball bat because I think he was deliberately obnoxious and his track record proves it. It’s not opinion any more when you do that, it’s basic trolling. I no longer have time for the guy.

For me Debuchy would be a great buy.
If we had him and santon attacking it would force the opposition back as the would need their wide men to sit or else have a chance for a 2 v1 on the wing.
Also if we have jonas and tiote then will sit with the CB’s and cover the defensive areas when we are attacking.
There is more ways to defend than just having bodies back…keeping the ball or pushing forward can be equally as effective if you have the players to do it.

Indian has his own opinions. Leave it at that. He is entitled to support whatever and whoever he want’s to. If your not happy with his comment, ignore it. Don’t add fuel to the fire by starting an online keyboard argument.
If you view Indian as a troll, ignore him. Don’t give the “troll” the attention he is craving, and eventually he will just leave, or stop with the comments. By giving him attention, your just giving him what he want’s, which in all honesty is Stupid.
Get on with your life, banter with other bloggers. Just don’t start a dam argument on a blog out of nothing.

Ppl can follow what ever National team they want there is no obligations towards England just because Ed is born in England or because NUFC is a English team
But there is no need to pour salt on it either…guess the Euro brings out feelings in all of us.

205 Tsunki // Jun 24, 2012 at 3:10 PM
Shearermania – OK, I got your point mate and well done for defending Indian, I’ve done it myself in the past. I just think he makes random remarks like a troll from time to time and It really winds me up, sorry. Can’t remember insulting you though.
Anyway, offer still stands, if the majority think Indian is posting opinion rather than being deliberately offending, I will be off so you don’t have to waste time hammering out abuse at me.

The clause, believed to be between £7 million to £9 million (of which Ba pockets £2 million himself from the move)
If its £9mik
Then good. If we get de jong would b gr8.

208 shearermania // Jun 24, 2012 at 3:15 PM
Tsunki i have no quarrel with you…you are a good one…always appreciates your posts even if i rarely contributes verbally…….i have bashed Indian as most bloggers have and the majority within good reason but i dont condone when it gets pesonal and only therefor did i voice an opinion and thats all it is….no harm done mate….
in the end we all barrack for the same team…newcastle united
209 Indian magpie // Jun 24, 2012 at 3:15 PM

At the same time, i hope we have one new signing onboard.
212 Tsunki // Jun 24, 2012 at 3:16 PM
And sorry to labour the point but just to reiterate – I don’t particularly SUPPORT England, nor am I overly sensitive about them, if or when they lose tonight, I have work in the morning, ho hum.
What I am saying is that if you look at Indian’s post @1, it’s a randomly tactless stupid remark, not followed by ‘because….’ simply because he likes to make remarks from time to time that get people’s backs up, nothing to do necessarily with England, NUFC or even footy or even ANY opinion at all. That’s it. I am saying it now because I know one day he will succumb to bravado and say something really over the edge. I didn’t abuse him except to call him an ‘ass’ so why the vitriol?

If Ba goes don’t feel bad about him, he has a weird situation on his hands, he has to do what he can while he can and his earnings have to be made by pretty unconventional means, most of which revolve around pay-per-play and transfer fees. I will still appreciate what he did for us.

What makes me come back to this blog is the diversity of your opinion for the black & white, please please do not troll like in a youtube comment. Let’s have some class and smile. Ed must be a cool operator, yet to know if he’s kick anyone out from commenting, or does he? Still, 1-0 to the italians!

Tsunki’s all hot under the collar over nothing today, isn’t he? Get some perspective.
It isn’t mandatory to reply to Indian. Lately, so many people are going out of their way to take offense to innocuous remarks.
Indian isn’t even English (clearly), although that’s a moot point, it’ an individuals prerogative to choose who they support and they don’t need to be held to interrogation.
Indian’s original comment was fairly polite anyway! Why was it not it palmed off and turned into harmless ‘banter’?
You choose how you react.

Ignore Indian, like I’ve told a few before who were arguing with him as well. I have no time for him and think he’s an attention seeking troll who has nothing to do except come on here and post utter crap. It’s quite sad how he thinks it’s good to post 1st.
But he dosent have to support England, I notice him post anti-England stuff all the time. Dosent bother me because most of Europe hates England. It would be hilarious if we went on to win the euro’s also after Chelsea winning the CL. UEFA and FIFA would be truly devastated and I would be delighted.

In all seriousness, I have no problems with people with Ginger hair, or any colour actually…it’s all just banter. Thought I’d clear that up in case there’s any strawberry blondes out there plotting an uprising against me.

A troll’s objective is to get other’s angry.
All of you responding to his comment, dishing out insults are just giving him what he wants.
Ignore him, and he will eventually stop and seek the attention elsewhere. Do you honestly think that insulting over the internet is going to make him stop?

Surely by there logic notts forrest and villa must be some of the best teams in europe seeing as they won european cup ages ago and Aberdeen are the top team i scotland cause they won the league in the 80′s.
And surely if you go that far back you can go further.
Newcastle are the best English team as we won the league loads in the 1900′s….top decade for the top team.

Shouldn’t everyone just move on now? Some think coming on a blog for a team based in England and then routing for England to lose is perhaps not the right way to go round things, others think it’s best ignored. Either way, it’s passed.

330 rich_toonfan // Jun 24, 2012 at 5:25 PM
Rotondo
you talk some rubbish.
Yes I saw spain’s first goal. it was a good cross and header.
My point was that I find a team like newcastle with Shearer play much better than Barca.
Barca tap the ball the around, drawing the opposition out then come alive for 10% of the time the have the ball and work some magic.
Newcastle used to have people like solano, robert, ginola etc beating defenders and whipping the ball in then shearer would rise above defenders and score bullet headers.
I prefer the fast paced english style to the slow build up of the spanish team.
I get it…you like Spain….it doesnt mean we all have to love to watch them.
The beauty of football is that there are many different ways to play, all kinds of formations, loads of different styles of players. Each have there merit and just because iniest is technically a good player doesn’t mean somebody like andy carroll is bad….he is different and effective in his own way.
You are nothing but a football snob.

So something like this maybe.

Saylor Alderweireld Streete

Santon Perch Fergs
Ben Arfa Ober Amalfitano

Ba De Jong Morata
333 rich_toonfan // Jun 24, 2012 at 5:28 PM
I normally think Indian mixes some good comments with some terrible ones haha.
But he has every right to want England to go out. By his very name you can see he isn’t English so he shouldn’t support them.
And from a neutral point of view England must be boring to watch. also there are no toon players in the side for him to support it.
If I was a neutral England might be the last time I watch…however I am English and will therefore support them regardless of how they play.

Try telling the Japanese “the fish experts” that you should never freeze fish.
Every commercial caught fish is slurried which is basically wet frozen so please tell me seeing you are such an expert on it how do YOU keep fish that you have caught on a trip that you will be eating maybe a month after the said trip.
Also you could tell me how YOU dispatch fish after catching them????

rich toonfan,
It’s a bit sad how you become predictably abusive should anyone dare have a different opinion to you. I just pointed out your rather selective memory, that’s all.
347 rich_toonfan // Jun 24, 2012 at 6:03 PM
Predictively abusive? I haven’t been abusive before and that wasn’t abusive. I was simply saying you are a football fan who only seems to appreciate one way of playing.
I have not got selective memory and I never once said Spain do not cross a ball.
What I was referring to was classic wing play which you see from teams of all levels.
From di Maria whipping in a ball for ronaldo to jermain pennant whipping a ball on for crouch.
It all takes skill. There is more than one way to play football and just because a lot of people find Spain boring doesn’t mean we are all idiots and jealous it just means some of us prefer a faster paced game as a spectacle to watch.
348 rich_toonfan // Jun 24, 2012 at 6:05 PM
Also Rotonda
I am not being abusive. I respect your opinion as I have said in all my posts I prefer to watch a faster paced game.
I never ask you are wrong to think Spain aren’t boring.
You were the one who started being critical and calling people jealous as they did not like the Spanish style.

Shearermania @ # 188
If you have half a working brain then you should understand that Indians insistence on trying to post first posts and making unqualified statements instead of posting opinions is bullying in the extreme on a subliminal level.
So all in all Indian is by far the bigger bully, by the way I do not think you have enlightened Tsunki in any way whatsoever and to claim that Indian contributes in a “human way” shows you do not really read the posts on this blog or you only read the ones you want to, the bulk of Indians posts are poor at best.
So I will use your own finish in saying eff off,,, you waste of time.
351 Tsunki // Jun 24, 2012 at 6:10 PM
Indian – a final word for your indeterminately-aged brain to compute:
you said
Tsunki,
Its not abt quitting the blog, i wd never do it. you support a team that i loathe. you need to understand that.
tell your 52 year old brain to understand that
Yes, it was a shoddy insult so why say it? All you had to do was qualify what you are saying, about why you loathe the English team, and maybe I could hum and ha with you about it. Ok, it seems some feel I have gone overboard and still not grasped that I feel you are a just a mischief-maker who could do with a bit of contrition, but never mind, that in itself is an opinion and I respect that. Just know I stated what I felt without a tirade of abuse, just the facts as I see it, and your quality of reply is in the form of the above, more offhand insults which you wouldn’t get away with in a lot of places. I can see now why some choose for the sake of their well-being to avoid being in proximity to an IQ vacuum like you (that WAS an insult by the way).
So, to prove I am not a bully, I will be the one to fall on my sword and leave you to this character. I am off.
So long all, I have enjoyed the banter, it’s been fun and hopefully next season will be a good one.
Howay the Lads!

Of course many different styles are out there. I am not denying that or decrying that in any way, shape or form. I just found it sad that so many people find the Barcelona / Spain style boring. I love the way Arsenal and Martinez at Wigan play and no one was a bigger Tino, Beardo and Ginola fan than me.

I reckon you were a litlle too hard on him for someone who normally talks sense and is usually reasonably tolerant.
There are folk on here who just lambast a single player and don’t let up – Obertan, Shola, Perch,Simmo etc., and that gets me riled too. Indian or anyone else. was defending Indian Magpie as this is an international blog and I like it that way.

Fair point Dannyo. Would certainly be happy to be proved wrong, but I think we have a chance of beating Italy, but can’t see us as favourites against Germany/Spain/Portugal of they turn up! Although I do agree that with RH’s defensive setup were very hard to score past, the lads havent quite clicked on the break yet.
On a controversial note: Rooney off, Carroll on? Rooney has been awful 1st half IMO.

No England are holding on to this game reasonably well. Still balanced though the front two have lacked teeth. Think Carroll can make a difference. Glad Milner’s off. Italy have missed several half chances and just may not be finishing well enough to win.

422 jimiley // Jun 24, 2012 at 9:42 PM
Wayne Rooney is the most overrated player in England. Ashley Young is only effective in the penalty area when he mysteriously keeps falling over but wins penalties. Milner and Parker are club players. Some of the England player cannot get a game for their clubs. If it was a boxing match the ref would have stopped it. Is it good for football for England to be winning these games. I do not think so.

My god we are awful, one side of me wants England to win but the other cringes at the thought of being schooled by the Germans again
430 Marty-Toon // Jun 24, 2012 at 9:58 PM
Useless,tactics are to hope for a win through penos
431 Cool Hand Luke // Jun 24, 2012 at 9:59 PM
I hope woy has a couple of hairdryers with him to liven this lot up! Woeful!!!!
432 jimiley // Jun 24, 2012 at 10:00 PM
We deserve to lose. Lets hope there is some justice in football. I do not want to witness another footy lesson from Germany.

I feel sorry for glen Johnson. He’s played his heart out. Done well. Now he’s bound to miss a penalty and be loathed all summer.

Well, Roy Hodgson must have wiped his arse with a four leafed clover or something this morning because we have been abysmal but we now have a golden oppertunity to win
450 MacToon // Jun 24, 2012 at 10:17 PM

Technically I haven’t committed an offense so tracing my IP wouldn’t benefit you in anyway.

462 MagpiesFlyHigh // Jun 24, 2012 at 10:26 PM
Close but no cigar….England did really well, but in the end, were beaten by the better side…but as I said earlier, the Italian finishing was dire, and England deserved to take them to the shoot out.

Bring on silly season!!
472 ochytoon // Jun 24, 2012 at 10:33 PM
I’m more emotional about England than NUFC. What’s going on?
Now that I’ve calmed, best team won at the end of the night. Joe Hart and the rest of the defense played their hearts out, shame that couldn’t be said about the two “strikers” and the wide men. Disappointed that Woy left Young on as well. Was dire all night and I just knew he was gonna miss that penalty. Too confident over practicing them in training.
473 Beattie25 // Jun 24, 2012 at 10:33 PM
That was a Newcastle performance over the festive period.
Absolutely dominated from start to finish.

476 Beattie25 // Jun 24, 2012 at 10:36 PM
Things we have learnt.
Do not buy English players.
4-4-2 doesn’t work.
Players over 26 still have the quality.
Tasty
477 hdavid23 // Jun 24, 2012 at 10:38 PM
well, im really disappointed, kinda got my hopes up this could be a good tournament for England… now, since im from german descent im cheering for them, hope they gonna kill italy on thursday…
478 Beattie25 // Jun 24, 2012 at 10:39 PM
Winter break anyone??
479 thepict // Jun 24, 2012 at 10:39 PM
No 1 engerland shouldn’t even be in the quarter final
No 2 engerland were seldom out their own half
No 3 Italy better team
No 4 engerland are a crap team
No 5 we will get the usual xenophobic shit@ from the sun.

483 rich_toonfan // Jun 24, 2012 at 10:48 PM
@beattie
would a winter break help? the foreign players who play in the premier league still do well in their national sides.
its just an excuse dragged out by the media. They have a month off before the tournament…thats enough time to recover.
England reached their level…quarter final is fair.
The problem with the team is rooney and young.
Roy had them set up to play counter attacking football….we were defending pretty well, not too many clear chances to italy and when there was hart did well…
…the problem was lack of movement and support up front…players were left isolated and had barely any options.
Rooney and young just did not turn up…at least milner put a shift in and was poor, the other two were just terrible,
484 rich_toonfan // Jun 24, 2012 at 10:51 PM
This is a newcastle blog not England….
..Italian fans can give us some stick, its just friendly banter.
nd if I was a neutral I would cheer for italy…purely on te grounds England are so boring to watch as a fan they must be terrible as a neutral.
485 thepict // Jun 24, 2012 at 10:52 PM
Well done Italy . Hope you go an and beat the krauts.
486 WWYCD // Jun 24, 2012 at 10:53 PM
England go out with a bit of a wimper but, and I say this with all honesty, I still enjoyed it more than watching Spain play
Fair play to England they did well in a competition where we expected nothing
On to transfers (incoming) and to start supporting the fantastic German steamroller

I think the 2 semi finals have the potential to be absolute crackers.
I think Germany and Spain are favourites but there is no reason Italy and Portugal can’t get upsets.
Looking forward to both.

Ahhh well knocked out again, Roy did ok considering the short time he was in the job lets hope we have better luck in the world cup, only two years to wait.
Now we can concentrate on the happenings of NUFC perhaps we should start looking for some English lads that we can mould for the national team, imagine the pride we would feel if they were picked for the team. I dont get the same feeling when a foreign player plays for their national team.
492 toonarmydownsouth // Jun 24, 2012 at 11:08 PM
Well what an absolute shower we were truly abysmal deserved to ho out congrats to italy they wanted it more and in all honesty should never of gone to pens and for me i hope ashley young nevers dons the three lions again not because he missed a pen but over the 4 games ive never seem such an unpassionate play represent there country
