He works hard, doesn't speak out, doesnt court the media , lets his actions do the talking. That moment for Villa fans is up there with Platt in 1990. It could not happen to a nicer more professional guy. Love him. Meeks is spot on , we have never had a tournament where so many redemption stories have happened.

Mainoo has been incredible. Hes been brilliant in every game he has played. Genuinely could be Englands best player at the tournament.

In 1986 I was a young boy growing up in the south of Italy, I was at my parents friends house when my parents told me to run with them to the top the roof (they have flat roofs in Italy and in a lot if mediterranean countries). At the top we waited and waited until a flash of light came past, magical. It was Halleys comet, which is visible every 80yrs or so, once in ur life on average. England players may only have this one chance in their lives too, and they too need to run to the top and seize the moment.

As a Liverpool fan I salute Mainoo. Thought this tornament was too early for him and boy was i wrong. What w ballsy little player he is.

I have to be honest, I owe Kobbie Mainoo an apology. For most of the last year, I've completely dismissed calls about him being "better than Scholes" or whatever, largely because I saw it as the typical Manchester United hype. Having watched him with more attention in this tournament - the last couple of games in particularly - he is absolutely excellent. His creativity last night was great, but also his willingness to track back and steal the ball back was massive. For all the talk of Nico Williams Jr, Lamine Yamal, Jamal Musiala and Arda Güler this tournament, Mainoo deserves to be a part of that conversation.

The Ref that day was worse than the dodgy German geezer last night. It was a shocking decision...but it ain't our fault. Blame the cloggy hating German officials.

Watkins is my definition of Clinical. He was high points in the EPL fantasy league. Pure tallent

Being Dutch, I appreciate the honesty about the penalty, and the remark about needing a bit of luck. That being said: the better team won. Good luck in the Final! Looking at the teams player v player, it should be an interesting one!

As a Villa fan .. it was especially amazing .. Ollie was amazing! ❤

I lost my shit completely laughing crying and jumping about like a Nobhead ... Best England goal ever for me , in the way it made me feel ... Incredible

Links, Meeks, Hazza....I applaud your professionalism for getting this episode out to us after a win like that. I know you guys get paid the big bucks but still, the fans thank you for this work! 👏

Was in Dortmund yesterday, absolutely incredible, unbelievable, no voice left, head pounding but worth every second! Fans were superb, massively outnumbered by the Dutch no room in any fanzones/bars, had to watch the game in a pizza restaurant surrounded by dutch fans & just 6 England fans, sang them out the restaurant :)) Watkins in the last minute, everything he deserved. Mainoo unbelievable. "were not going home, we're not going home, we're not going we're not going, we're not going home"

What a night. What a game. What a feeling. Great first 45 minutes. Perfect Subs made by Southgate when we needed it. Great goal by Watkins from Palmer. Great enthusiasm by Southgate at full time. COME ON ENGLAND 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Credit where it's due Gary, England are the reigning U21 European champions, winning on foreign soil: Georgia. Also England won the Fifa Under 17 World Cup in India in 2017.

At first I thought no penalty, then the more I watched it the more I could see why it was given. I think if the defender comes in from the side without the studs up he gets away with it. It's the studs up at that height which I think was deemed to be dangerous play. That's why VAR referred it. Can totally see why people are pissed about it though as at first glance it looks soft.

… and who was Mainoo up against in his MOTM performance in the FA Cup final?

well done ! Mainoo man of the match that young man ran every blade of grass last night.

What a pass from Palmer! He made it look so simple. He saw Watkins wave and picked him out beautifully

Great podcast to start the morning with !

When are we going to face facts? Harry Kane is past his best, and his lack of pace/willingness to stretch the play significantly hinders Englands midfield. We are much better with a striker who forces defences out of their comfort zone.

Totally, totally agree with you Gary. The goal was the FIRST TIME IN THE TOURNAMENT where we had a striker make that kind of run and all it took was 10 minutes to create a goal! Watkins is a must start in the final but I can't imagine Gareth doing it. If he does, fair play to him. Adapt based on what you see. Kane has had a negative impact on performances throughout the tournament. He can't play in front of our 10s. If you wanted to play 2 up top and drop Bellingham into Mainoo's position, it could work but he can't play that 9 in this team.

Unlike every other villa fan on here I was horrified when Ollie came on…I screamed at the telly…”he plays for villa…villa players ALWAYS miss penalties for England…ALWAYS” thank GOD I have no idea what I’m talking about…GO ON ENGLAND!!!

Watkins and palmer must start on Sunday 👍

Mainoo and Foden absolutely outstanding last night. Saka good again…Kane needs dropping but Gareth will not do that

I think the Dutch defence had become used to marking the immobile Kane and Watkins was their worst nightmare in terms of movement and threat in behind, he shocked them with his intent and speed of strike. I don’t give Southgate credit for the change, it was screaming out for this and moreover, it should have been made earlier in this game and competition on the whole.

If he made the Watkins sub at the 60th minute the game wouldn’t have drifted so long and England would not have conceded as many chances as his pressing and runs in behind changed the game.

​@@stevenphillips4494 both teams had made changes at half time and needed time to see how they played out - making changed after 5-10 mins would have been ridiculous. Your analogy is flawed and I think you know it. He didn't save one room - he saved the entire house and unlike in previous games, he didn't wait for a fire to break out first - instead he took action to ensure a fire couldn't ignite. I'm not saying Southgate is perfect but to deny him credit for learning from his previous mistakes (which cost England Euro 2021) and for being proactive instead of reactive, putting subs on at half-time when he previously waited until injuries or injury-time, is just bitterness. You have to give credit where credit is due.

@@karmaascendant3936 I agree totally about Croatia, Italy and France. He lost us at least one trophy (Euro 2021). I am just saying we need to be balanced and fair. Did you ever expect him to make a sub at half time and another after 79 mins which involved hauling off his talisman and putting on 2 forwards? No and neither did I so let's give him so credit for finally doing what we had been calling for all tournament.

I love watching Kobbie Mainoo play football. A wonderful breath of fresh air for Utd & England. Watkins goal was delightful to watch. He's had a great season.

Foden was class last night but that was his FIRST good performance of the tournament

That 1st half performance was what we've all been waiting for: exciting, fast paced, forward passing and Foden Kane and Bellingham making things happen in the final third. If we can play like that for the whole final then we can definitely win it.

Thanks to Ollie for the goal and recognising Palmer because no one else has no Palmer, no goal, no win ffs...

Gary, if you're going to put studs in the way of someone who is kicking the ball without making contact with the ball yourself while in the 18 yard box and the opposing player smashes his limb into your studs as a result then that's a penalty all day long and you'd be fortunate not to receive a red card, though you would deserve one.

I think Southgate has got lucky starting Kane all tournament, it's like we're playing with 10 men when he's on. We are very lucky that games haven't gotten away from us too much before the subs come on to make a difference. I love it that we have got to a final but I can't help but wonder how much easier it would have been if Southgate hadn't hamstrung the team by starting Kane (who obviously isn't at his best, let's face it).

I'm from Russia and a big fan of the England national team. I've been rooting for the England national team since the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. My idol is Gary Lineker. I am very glad that we beat Slovakia, Switzerland and Netherlands. Go ahead, three lions.We are going for the european cup. Greetings from Russia...)))

For the penalty, you have to ask yourself one thing. If the same situation happens when a defender is clearing the ball, and a striker is trying to block the clearance when the defender's follow through kicks the striker...how many times out of 10 does the ref give a foul? The answer is 9 or 10, they give it nearly everytime. This pen was the same situation just the other way around. So imo it's a stonewall pen.

Defender attempted to block the shot to the obvious near side of the goal, so Watkins firing to the more difficult far side placed it behind the outstretched foot. The goalkeeper also assumed the shot would be to his left and so was wrong footed and ubable to reach the shot, which he probably wouldn't have got anyway as it was hit so sweetly and perfectly placed.

The real change we have to make is the overall energy-system - and with the time it takes to build say hydro or nuclear power-plants it will take some time and a major effort to get off fossil fuels.
