I hate the song but it's Espresso hands down. Shame nothing better has come out recently.

Great to see Fall Out Boy so high.

I've yet to hear a remotely sensible argument for why this is a bad thing, so looking forward to the response.

Another one who could easily have included Maneskin here. It's hard narrowing it down to just 30 groups.

Newcastle thankfully are making a point that they want to keep Howe at the club rather than see him go to England. Good sign for Newcastle fans. I think he'll see sense and stay at Newcastle, he could always take the England job in a few years time. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c10lq33j7myo

I can't see why Howe would take the England job, he's virtually unsackable at Newcastle. He could be booted out the England job after the World Cup or even before if it goes wrong.

Surprised at this, honestly thought he'd stay for the World Cup. Whoever comes in next has a tough job living up to now much raised expectations and good luck to them. Just please don't take Eddie Howe we need him at Newcastle.

I don't think anybody expects England to make finals to be honest - making two in a row is definitely performing above their baseline/expectations. Before this tournament we were discussing making the QF or SF as a good run. The same expectation at the world cup seems reasonable given we only got to the Quarters las time. I'm pretty Southgate has secured his spot to lead us into the next World Cup at the very least. He continues to perform above expectations, in large thanks to an incredibly talented group of players - but his success his evident. The 2016 Euros is the last tournament in which we lost to a team that didn't make the final. That's some record.

Looks like the pubs being open properly this time (rather than still having some social distancing as in 2021) and it being won in normal time has put a massive dent in the viewing figures. Down to 23.74m peak (compared to 30.9m for 2021). Definitely reflects the fact this felt like less of a big occasion than the 2021 Euros final.

Maybe have some empathy. There's a direct link between reported domestic violence and football matches, with reports going up if England lose. There's been a campaign running all tournaments around this to try and encourage women who are suffering to come forward.

And the wait goes on. 2026 World Cup anyone?

Another super-sub.

Suddenly looking like a very frantic England team here. Spain looking a lot more composed.

Has Pickford forgetting about distribution? Just hoofing it up the pitch with no good passes.

Is Rodri injured then? Wouldn't see him being took off otherwise? Southgate making no changes. FFS.

Has to be said, this match has been pretty rubbish so far.

That was a harsh yellow.

Looking like Spain all the way here.

Spanish win the anthems battle but will they win the football battle? God Save the Queen needs replacing by Land of Hope and Glory or Jerusalem

Let's be honest, if we win nobody is gonna remember/care how bad we were in the group stages in 58 years time. England drew their opening game in 1966 but nobody ever mentions that.

Removed off-topic rant. It's not song of the summer though.

They'll be No 1 on tomorrows Spotify chart no doubt. Win or lose.

An innocent man has died, I'm not sure what exactly you find funny about that?

Since when did Three Lions get the parentheses (Football's Coming Home). Hate when they do this to songs unnecessarily.

One interesting thing - if we do win and Argentina win the Copa we could see the first England v Argentina match since 2005 played next year.
