What a night. Bar from the 10-15 minutes that they had and got the goal, we were on top of that game. The facts were we had over 20 shots, 60% of the possession and there was really only one team going to score, it was (thankfully) just about when we were going to. The pen was soft but a pen regardless. We'd be spitting feathers if it was against us but that is football. The Danes wouldn't have give 2 shits either. Have you ever seen an England team confidently hold the ball like they do, not panic like they do, and pass out from the back to create multiple chances like they do? I recall Souness saying, he thinks we'll win it even if its not attractive football....well, I must be blind because the patterns of passing and how they break down a team is an absolute joy to watch and behold. Sterling was incredible and they allowed Kane to float which meant he was critical to making many spaces and potential chances. Walker had a blinder too whilst i've never seen Shaw with so much energy and desire to be positive and run at defenders. No one said it was gonna be easy, we couldn't expect to batter a team that was ranked the highest in the world on our side of the draw, especially with the Eriksen momentum they had built up too. But we did it. We went and bloody did it. Surreal and special moment for the whole country. Make the most of this as Sunday will come around before you know it!! ❤️ One more thing though....this man deserved credit before we got into the final, heck even the semi-final. Mad how it needs these things to happen for him to get the credit he deserves. Enjoy these times whilst we have the best manager we have ever had for England.

I worry sometimes what game people were watching.

Says exactly what it does on the tin! Not had one of these proper showcases it feels like since The Taken King way back!

I haven't got round to this - apologies - i'll try and get it done over the weekend.

Yeah it was the case of they did enough to stay in the game to give them the chance at penalties. Not trying to think of that final though as it really is all about tonight! Kasper was right tbh, it was such a shit question asked to him. I think this squad want to prove that them as individuals are good enough. Southgate even came out yesterday and triued to help the media get facts right - we haven't got a rich history in success apart from 1 World Cup and a few semi-finals - and the fact that he has achieved 50% of those semi final results should give us the confidence to get behind him, whatever tactics he puts out there. I'm just glad its game day! Felt like forever waiting for today to come round! 😄

Got to admit, now that Wreckfest have sorted their save game file issue out and it can be ported to the PS5 version, it feels and looks so much better. Did not expect haptic feedback either and was so cool to experience it without knowing! We really are paying top whack for basically the next gen controller of all controllers. Really want to get Ratchet and Clank because of the great stories on here from Chad @Riff Machine Ghost of Tsushima upgrade with brand new DLC island to explore. That will probably look even more ridiculously gorgeous.

If thats the case with the UI i'm pretty disappointed about that. Its one of the few things that stopped me playing my Xbox One after being pro-Xbox from the OG Xbox and 360 era. It shouldn't matter too much but in the end if games are pretty similar, UI does really matter. We've seen how crap the party system was initially on PS5 and it can hurt the amount of gametime you end up having.

Awesome photos, thanks for sharing Doc! I wonder if that ol' rackety rollercoaster actually still works 😄

I'm not really available this weekend but likelihood is that I can try and be available for some timings on one of the days, dependent on what the family plans are when we get to them!

85mph?!?! Thats insane!

Seriously awesome to hear, Doc. Amazing to hear your stories and how you've got through these years. Whilst you clearly will miss those 'real cop' days, I hope that the M-F week and slightly different intensity of life will give you some additional time with the family which is what its all about. And just because you've got a promotion doesn't mean you can stop sharing your random stories from time to time 😎 Proud of you buddy, i'm sure all of FG is too ❤️

Mate, those extra logos are incredible!!! Thanks bud! P.S. I need PNG ones too so we can use them everywhere else too! Current Car Manufacturer teams ( @Lurch @jordie1892 @crispymorgan @Mikepjbell @slamminbones @phil bottle @Macca89 @JBR-Kiwi @Greboth ) Make sure you get some of the new logos on your car for sure! Individual FG Special Drivers! ( @Diddums @Kurt @LordBaguette @Misneach_ @tronic44 @Spacedeck @Stretch616 @TonyAE86 @Findmartin @TurboR56Mini ) Grab some of these and upload them through the GT website. Takes literally a few minutes and you can then add some extra awesomeness to some of your own personal liveries. Get them done and shared up so we can see how many we can make 😎

Great stuff Phil, appreciate the heads up. GT people, get your shizzle together and get some practice this week with us on Thursday before the first week next week. Should be a great laugh, not just the league race too. Lets try and get full grids everytime too - essentially there should be 10 spots filled most weeks from the regulars for at least one race so i'm sure 6 more people can turn up each week out of the people that were interested before! @Diddums @Kurt @LordBaguette @Misneach_ @tronic44 @Spacedeck @Stretch616 @TonyAE86 @Findmartin !!

How you feeling about this Philly? James @Lurch ain't feeling that great about it so far! Good deal for them. Seems they mean business in the market this year.

Yeah it was played alot but always makes me think of all the hours we played on Blops 3 even more so. @slamminbones , our potential to have large numbers on Fridays for private parties always hold back certain games so maybe we need to check to see how many you can get into a private lobby. I've never heard of this. Is it an Indie game?

I had the same opinion now i've caught up on all this stuff. Hayley hasn't really watched it but in passing she did say that the female Loki is really bad at acting which I had to think about but probably contributes to why Episode 3 was all over the place. Episode 4 felt much better but with 2 episodes left to go i'm not entirely sure where the hell everything is going - not from a tense point of view though, more from a confusing 'how on earth will this link to the other Phase 4 stuff' view. Is there supposed to be a second series to Loki? I'm not sure how much is actually being covered by the whole plot as it feels very light on the ATV side of things. Still have the desire to see the last episodes after the last one so fingers crossed.

Happy Birfday @Plumbers Crack and @jordie1892 !! Hope you both have an absolute cracker of a day!! 😎🍺❤

Another night to remember and what was even more impressive was throughout the game the intensity didn't drop, and even through their post match interviews you can clearly see they mean business. Shaw for me was MotM, he has jumped so many levels these past few games. I love everything that Gareth Southgate is doing, especially the bit where he doesn't listen to what anyone says in the media or from a fans perspective. 3 Semi-finals in 3 years and we're not done yet. I want this to happen more for him than anything else in the world. 2 more steps to go, bring on Wednesday.

Its been a wild few days hasnt it?! To briefly check in regarding England v Germany, I thought we were excellent all over the park in every aspect. We made chances, worked our patterns extremely well and finished them off emphatically. Very tough game tonight, I think they're ready for it though, we just have to get behind the team, whatever line up plays and send those positive vibes to them! Some of us local FG lot went to the pub and caught the games yesterday over a beer. Agreed James, Spain were extremely lucky (again) and Italy really did work hard for their win. They'll be extremely tough to stop at the moment but losing Spinnazolla could hurt them quite abit.

I came here to say the same thing as they both did amazing laps! And to think Norris was fastest in the first sector and on the last corner he was actually ahead of Verstappen! Would love to see them both score points and keep both the Ferrari drivers far behind them but not sure how long they can keep their race pace down.

I'm like many here, as I don't believe (as far as how I interpret it) that i've been addicted to any game of sorts. However, @jordie1892 uses the word obsession which you could argue is close to addiction in a way and thats how I can be. But let's face it, if it wasn't for FGers I really don't think I would've sustained my constant gaming over the last 7-8 years (you'd find on my PPR, games were my life until I met Hayley and then had a 7 year absence with life before mym Mum bought me a PS4 and @Stretch616 helped me find FG when starting out on Destiny). One thing to consider that sends me a little too close to the line though is FOMO. I do think this is such a pull towards getting addicted. It becomes a routine to not miss out on anything, over and over. Its probably why i'm glad the updates on Destiny have changed so that can go away as its pretty unhealthy over a sustained period of time, e.g. a year or so. The real question is am I addicted to Forever Gaming? Yeah....not gonna answer that one 😄

Just ask @Diddums about WoW 🤣 I'll come back with my thoughts later on this. Great thread btw Tommy @BO7H B4RRELS

The tournament just keeps on getting better. Its why we shouldn't get too head of ourselves, but we can still be super confident of the game ahead of us. One game at a time and we'll see what happens! Conentration for the full 90 minutes it seems after watching Spain and France blow strong leads in their games. Who would've thought that the current World Champions (France) and European Champions (Portugal) would be both out before the Quarter Finals??
