    Association football was invented in England, thus England is the sport's home. It's coming home was a song that was created for the 1996 European Championships that were hosted in England, and so football was coming home.

    The song itself was self depreciating about the English mentality and culture, how our football team always lets us down but we still believe anyway, a sort of defiance in the face of inevitable defeat. The phrase is now used to sum up those feelings. We know this can't last but smurf it, until the party stops football is coming home!

    Weirdly, I could actually see a Belgium v England final.

    It’ll give us a chance to play each other properly after the non-event that was our final group match.

    RIP the dream. Lukaku went missing in that game, Pogba had Fellaini in his back pocket, De Bruyne was never able to do anything and Hazard - despite his best efforts - couldn't make the difference. Not a massive fan of the French team but I respect how good they are, and good job on making the final.

    Belgium went back to their pre-Japan comeback mode. Maybe that's a little harsh as a lot of it was France nullifying them. Mbappe (apart from the trouthouse time wasting) Varane and Kante were great, and that's the Pogba who got so much hype. Hopefully that Pogba does not show up in the Premier League!

    He won't show up in the Premier League while he's playing for Mourinho. France deserve to win the World Cup so will probably bottle the final now.

    I mean, he does occasionally actually have good games for United. Did you see him against City?

    Technically that was a good half.

    I still can’t shake the feeling that we’re due to meet Belgium again this World Cup.

    That doesnt bode bode well for a good result tomorrow night

    I quite fancy it tomorrow. I think the back to back 120 minutes will really take its toll in the second half. If we can keep from going down until then I think we'll nick it.

    It was a dream. A really, really nice dream that I still can't quite believe actually happened. The past few weeks have been such a surprisingly delightful blur. But it's over, now. Time to get up and get ready to go to work ughhhh just 5 more minutes please I don't want it to end

    Thanks Gareth and the boys. I never thought it'd be you, but you made me believe again.

    I should have known a team with so many Spurs players would bottle a semi-final
