Jay:, external The football gods will surely want an England v Argentina final. Would be perfect, England playing really well.

Wayne:, external England solid at the back and creative going forward. A joy to watch. I think we are going to win!!

Jon:, external We're playing some good, confident stuff. Keep it up, boys!

Ah decisions, decision! David Platt nicks the ball in midfield and breaks with real pace, it's three-on-three momentarily but the Aston Villa man dallies on it and he's stopped by a cracking tackle from Klaus Augenthaler. It all opened up there...

Benjamin:, external Gascoigne is looking lively giving Matthaus plenty of problems defensively. Keep going lads looking good.

Graeme:, external Glad the game is at the brand new Stadio delle Alpi. I expect this stadium will stand as a monument for many decades to come.

The two sides of Andreas Brehme. The Inter left-back stops Gary Lineker in his tracks with a brilliantly timed tackle before instantly bombing on and linking up well with Thomas Hassler.

There's then a bit of niggle between Brehme and Paul Gascoigne, and Gascoigne drills in a stinging shot from 25 yards...

Trevor Brooking
Former England midfielder

"England have had their hiccups in matches before today but this is undoubtedly the best start they have made - and that against West Germany, who have looked invincible so far in this tournament.

"England have coped well with what little pressure Germany have had and only Thomas Hassler looks really settled."

Andreas Brehme lets fly from 22 yards - you can't let him shoot there! Terry Butcher is wise to it and out quickly to shut it down...

Rich applause all around the Delle Alpi as England put together another flowing move. Paul Gascoigne and David Platt link up with some lovely passing, and Gary Lineker eventually crosses for Paul Parker to head over the bar.

Paul:, external Just shouted 'back pass' at the screen. Schoolboy error.

Amit:, external Watching #wc90 semi-final, aka 'ode to the backpass'.

Wabo:, external The back pass rule needs looking at. Totally slows the game down.

Lovely! David Platt threads a beautiful pass through with the outside of his foot, Stuart Pearce has bombed on and whips it in first-time but Gary Lineker is closed down. What a pass from Platty...

Cracking from Chris Waddle, away from his man on the right and standing up a teasing cross. Can Gary Lineker get on that? Not quite. End-to-end now...

Paul Gascoigne has been quiet since that shot inside the first minute, but he could be a key man for England. At the moment, it's West Germany picking out the crucial passes.

The West Germans have a first real attack which ends with a deflected shot spinning wide, before Rudi Voller strangles a half-hearted penalty appeal when he goes down under a challenge from Paul Parker.

Matt:, external Looking at the advertising hoardings and wondering if a JVC Super VHS would be a sound long term investment?

Definitely. Stock up on that and cassettes.

Peter Beardsley breaks the offside trap again! Smart run out on the right - but his delivery is poor and he can't find Gary Lineker in the middle.

Maybe one day Wimbledon will have a home player to cheer on eh?

Everyone's watching tonight - no matter how important their plans.

After storming into the Wimbledon semi-final in the last few minutes, West German tennis player Boris Becker raced off from his press conference to find a television to watch the game, telling journalists he was leaving "for obvious reasons".

How rude...

Robert:, external Great start from the English boys, Germans playing a high line leaving lots of space to run into.

World Cup Grandstand commentator John Motson in Turin

"There is no question now, Mark Wright is marking Jurgen Klinsman, Des Walker is marking Rudi Voller and Terry Butcher is spare. Usually Wright has been the spare man for England."

West Germany now finding some fluid play in midfield for the first time, with Thomas Hassler finding some space. They rode the storm in that opening few minutes from England, which was mightily impressive.
