Well there you go! The best performance so far and they can be confident against either Russia or Croatia. Gareth Southgate has certainly brought out the best of a young squad, but for me Ashley Young has been the real revelation. The oldest player in the squad and a winger turned full back; he's had an outstanding tournament, but then so have so many of the team.
So on to Wednesday .... here's hoping.

Posted on 07/07/2018 15:52 by moulesySo far so good! I know Gareth has instilled a lot of loyalty in the squad by his own loyalty to them but I do wonder if the time has come to say enough is enough for Raheem Sterling - against a big defence like this surely Rashford or Welbeck would be better? But I'd be more than happy to be proved wrong in the next 45 minutes!

Yes, those too - and again you could nominate Jordan Pickford and Jesse Lingard.
I just think Ashley Young is a player whose best days seemed to have gone but has been transformed by Gareth and his backroom team.
But let's not squabble over individuals - the whole squad deserves every bit of praise.
