00:00Thank you, it's Alistair from Sheffield Star and we know what they're going out today asking people about the England game today.
00:05We're asking people if they think, what their performance has been up to this date mostly, but also what they think their chances are of going any further after tonight.
00:13What do you think of their performance so far?
00:15Well I think it's been boring, passing back too much. To get straight to the point, passing back a lot too much.
00:24I think Kane is more or less over the mark to be honest with you.
00:31He should have had a few younger than him.
00:35But I think prospect is pretty good.
00:38Really?
00:39Yeah, they do.
00:40I think they took it more seriously in the last ten minutes of the previous game than they did in the first three games at all.
00:44It's sweet that I've got Spain.
00:49So if England get through, I don't know which team I want to win.
00:53Did you draw it out of a hat or is that your odds on this year?
00:56Yeah.
00:57One discussion has been Southgate of course, there's a bit less pizzazz to him this year as far as he previously used to wear suits.
01:03This year he's turning up in his one shirt each year.
01:06People have been besmirching saying he's done four and this will be the end of it.
01:10But then he has pulled out a few wins now all of a sudden.
01:12What do you think of his career going forward?
01:14I think he's done well.
01:15He's done well. Southgate took him to two semi-finals.
01:19You know what I mean?
01:22A lot of people are pulling him down.
01:24A lot of BBC pundits have taken the minute to say this will be the winding down phase.
01:29Then they'll pull out a win and that's the end of that conversation.
01:32I think he's done well.
01:34It's just really boring.
01:36This team is pretty boring.
01:40In my words, these don't.
01:45If you had to change one thing or do a few swaps out before the year began, what would you have done instead?
01:51What I'd have done?
01:54Well, to be honest with you, I don't know.
01:57It's so hard, isn't it?
01:58Yeah.
01:59I think I'd have kept to it.
02:02Having said that, I'm a big United fan.
02:06I thought I'd miss him, but I hadn't really missed him.
02:16Not much chance to know him.
02:18Yeah.
02:19Thank you. It's Alistair from Sheffield Star.
02:21I'm doing more than go out today and asking people how they feel about the England game later.
02:24We have reached the semis, of course.
02:26I don't know what you think of their performance so far this year.
02:28I think it's great news that they've reached the semis.
02:31I think their performance so far has been a little bit poor, to be honest with you.
02:38I think they've been lucky overall, not just the route through the Euros, but in terms of the centre-half.
02:46If it were to lose tonight, would it be bowing out gracefully?
02:49Or have we done the minimum?
02:50What would you make of that if we could end tonight?
02:53I think they've probably done the minimum.
02:58I think they've scraped through in each round that they've come through, whether that be the group stages or not.
03:04I think the only real positive were the penalties, which I thought were fantastic.
03:09I feel like they've given us some good drama, though.
03:11A good watch.
03:12That's England all week, though, isn't it? Definitely.
03:14Will you be watching all the same, or are you just going to let it happen?
03:16Still going to watch, yes, absolutely.
03:18Still wanting them to do the best possible and get through to the five, absolutely.
