ITV seem to be showing Emmerdale at 7pm on Wednesday, so I think it's safe to assume it'll be a Beeb match.
The BBC were indicating Wimbledon up to yesterday so schedules can, and do change when the England soccer team do unexpected things!

Some online tv guides currently have both BBC and ITV showing the semi-final on Wednesday. Expect it to all be confirmed within the hour.

Absolutely strolled it despite Sterling!

Totally agree. All those "experts" claiming his workrate is excellent and he is pulling defenders right, left and centre obviously know nothing - just because they played at the highest level for a decade or more..........

Ahh, the "experts". Those like Rio Ferdinand who still claimed Henderson doesn't pass forward despite the lad having yet another excellent game and producing one of the forward passes of the tournament!

Get Sterling off - he's useless :E

Sterling is an amazing talent - he's just very good at hiding things. After all, he managed to hide that tattoo from those wa**ers at the Scum for nine months!

I have a dream (no that's not a pun following today's match) that Sterling will be dropped for the Final. With us 2-0 after 62 minutes against France, he will come on, run the French ragged, score a hat trick and we will win 3-2. And he will still get vilified and voted worst player on the pitch.

Sterling did have a much, much better game today. That isn't saying much though considering his input before that.

I rarely (never) swim onto this thread - I watched the game tonight - good for England!

Massively looking forward to the next match...

This game is doing a good job of knackering out our next opposition.
Still hoping for penalties.
Who would others rather face in the semis?
The professional and organised Croatia?
Or Russia with the whole crowd behind them?

The way things are going, I think I'd rather face Croatia. They seem to be making things hard for themselves but pulling through, and that can't last forever.
Surely both teams will be exhausted after this one?
Which can only be good for us...

Russia have suddenly (as in, compared to before the tournament) become very good at not letting the opposition play their own game. I'm not sure how well England would be able to handle that and impose themselves.

Sterling didn’t have a good game today. He’s one of the most wasteful players I’ve ever seen at this level. Any crucial pass or chance and he totally bottles it.

In case anyone has missed it, Sterling is a forward. Score some goals Raheem.

Fair play to the Russians, no one gave them a chance of getting out of their group, let alone beating Spain and getting within breathing distance of the semis.
