After watching the France v Morocco match I can't see any team left in the competition that will beat them. I hope I'm wrong for England's sake but France seem to have all the answers at the moment.

I think we, England, are quite lucky that both Spain and France have fallen in the other side of the draw because they look like the two best teams for me. That's just how it goes sometimes and I think we've got a good chance of getting to the final.

Haaland is the obvious dangerman, if Guehi is out, it means either Burn or Stones will be in. He'll stick close to either of them because he's got the beating of them all day when it comes to pace and making runs in behind.

I think it'll be another game with goals in, the defence is the weakest part of Denmark's team and England's could be a bit patched together too. I'll take another 3-2 win!

Delighted with the win, but Tuchel is right that we rode our luck at times. Norway looked more likely to score again after we fell behind and we can count ourselves very fortunate that they didn't take their chances. Our individual quality won the day in the end, but a lot of our build-up play was slow and ponderous.

Re the camera cable controversy: I can't see any indication at all that Nyborg's goal kick hit the cable, and even if it did it didn't directly lead to a goalscoring chance as it landed in our half. The German refereeing expert was of the opinion that the referee was right to let play continue, and awarding a dropped ball to us in our half may have resulted in the goal anyway. Norway are clutching at straws here.

Anyway, Argentina look beatable if we bring our A game on Wednesday. I'm expecting it to be close. I agree that France and Spain are the best two sides remaining though.

England has dealt with many moments which perhaps we all shared feelings about being robbed, but I don't think Norway were. Had it swung in their favour I would have said the same thing. All the attention is on Erling Haaland, who I felt played very poorly. The argument about service is valid, I have had this from my son but he didn't do anything to really involve himself.

They (Norway) played better without him involved, and that says a lot. There was that chance Haaland screamed for the ball, and yet the Norwigen attacker went for his own glory, I felt like it was due to him feeling overlooked and wanting the headlines.

It was the wrong decision, he should have passed the ball and I do think Haaland would have converted the chance.

I didn't get the feeling they were playing as a team, they seemed to be more orientated towards that with set pieces. With certain players, such as their right back, thinking they were a star and able to impact the game more than they could have done. England were fortunate enough to turn the game around, and I do think the better team won. I can say they were unlucky, but those banging on about them being robbed both nations have an argument about decisions being made.

Norway going 1-0 up, they didn't work for a second and they sort of allowed England to step up their own game. I said to Jake, that 15 minutes in that they didn't look 100% in terms of fitness and it showed as the game progressed. It's fortunate that the penalty appeal went against England, but at the same time the wire incident and the disallowed Norwigen goal are talking points. Yet, Harry Kane did seem to have been fouled leading up to that, modern players go down like they have been shot and this works against decisions but claiming there was no contact before the ball was touch is as comical as saying the goalkick didn't hit the wire.

The wire incident only showed after the game, there were no clips showing it during the match and I had no idea until after. I watched their game against France, and I think the Harry Kane disallowed penalty in the previous game was a certain penalty. Djed Spence's penalty seemed all the more obvious to me, he was protecting the ball. The arguments about the re-taken corner kick are funny, even from England fans trying to ragebait comments because it was a foul.

Yet all this means nothing, England progresses and Norway are out. If we wanted to take every moment and debate if the right outcome happened, then we would have to watch how Norway had two players on Jordan Pickford for every corner. To the point where Pickford kept pushing them away from obstructing him, their right back was lucky to have gone off as a sub. I am cutting off here, because I want to acknowledge Norway have their own calls but those were largely mentioned before such as the wire incident. It changes nothing, defensively both teams had spells where it wasn't good enough.

It's great to see England in the semi finals & it's very positive that we have World class players who can take their chances when they become available. England will certainly have to step up a level against Argentina.
