Harry Kane showed nerves of steel with the delayed penalty in normal time. He deserves immense credit for that. David, Rochdale
Congratulations England winning on penalties! On our way to the world cup! Mohammed ismail
Well we couldn’t beat little Colombia over 90mins, nor in extra time and just about squeezed past them on penalties. We celebrated like we’d actually won the world cup but think about it... this was the first game of the socalled “easy route” and we still made hard work of it. Let’s save the over-thetop euphoria ‘til we’ve won the b****y thing. Captain Sensible

OK, Mr Nice Guy, a clean break? Fine – NO tourism, NO trade, NO sport (all English teams banned from Euro events), ALL UK citizens in EU sent back home, by force if need be – clean enough? Or like all Leavers, are you after all the benefits with no responsibility? Basmaniac, Paisley
Mrs. May, in a comment ref. LGBT, “nobody should ever have to hide who they are’’. I say, come out of the closet then you ‘Remoamer’, step down and give the job to someone who is openly Brexit and proud of it! Trevull

Len McCluskey, self ordained joint leader of the Labour Party, says there IS going to be a 2nd Referendum, his sub partner, J. Corbyn, says he has not factored that into policy. Wimp, who’s in charge, eh? Bromull

if hospital patients had to make donations for their meals, those who couldn’t would pretend they weren’t hungry and not eat. A better idea: Some private hospitals claim charitable status and get 80% off of the council tax. As NHS trusts don’t always get paid for treating non brits, why not go for charitable status too?
