Some dopey defending from John Stones costing England dear! I thought England would actually win this Nations League tournament once it got to the semi final stage but it seems that the curse of not getting past a semi final has followed them into this as well. It's hard to believe De Ligt is only 19 when you watch him play and when you look at the sheer size of him! Holland will probably go on to win against Portugal in the final I think.

We got hampered by the Champions League final unfortunately. I think if you play Alexander-Arnold, Henderson, Kane and Dele then it's a completely different game. A midfield 3 at a semi-final of Delph-Barkley-Rice is poor, two of the three aren't guranteed first teamers.

Really surprised Holland are in the final after not qualifying for the World Cup in Russia 2018

Holland have rebuilt well under Koeman!

Indeed, Netherlands are going with a new generation of players: Dumfries, de Ligt, de Jong, Bergwijn, van de Beek A lot of them a part of that latest run for Ajax.

Well done to anyone who has watched the whole of Switzerland v England...

England have now won two penalty shoot-outs in a row. We're getting good at this :o

For the first time ever? England have won two penalty shoot-outs.

Portugal won this in the end 1- 0 to them, really wanted Netherlands, they haven't won a trophy in ages. :(

Fair play to Santos, he knows how to win games!
