    Loved the attitude of both keepers, really making it a gladiatorial contest

    I hope Pickford is taking note about the importance of body language and attitude

    And not sticking to the line ;)

    It was cheating plain and simple. Everyone knew what the defender was going to do in that situation and it wasn't win the ball.

    Hope Denmark go out now.

    Yep, bit of justice done there.

    Didn't think the last man should be sent off when a penalty is awarded, since the rule change?

    Said on the telly it isn't a straight red if there's a genuine attempt to go for the ball

    Some awful penalties but you expect the top players to put them away. Modric and Rakitic did Eriksen didn’t.

    Eriksen's penalty was probably better than Modric's in a lot of ways (although the only good penalty is a scored penalty tbf)

    Jorgensen's penalty was one of the worst I've ever seen
    Jorgensen was pretty shit the moment he came on.

    Thank you. While I support England, I think we've been setting ourselves up for a fall from the moment the Belgium game ended
  • LeuthLeuth
    (obviously Southgate and the team won't take Colombia lightly, because as is becoming clearer by the year, the players are usually more with-it than the media or the fans)

    France v Croatia/England final

    Im going for a Semi Final of:

    France v Brazil
    Russia v England or Colombia

    Final between those in bold

    Got a feeling that Russia will get themselves past Croatia like South Korea did in 2002

    Would you not rather be in the position we are now though? Don't believe that we've set ourselves up for a fall at all. No one is taking a win against Colombia as a given.

    Oh, I'd rather be in this position! I just mean the endless stream of bollocks from the media, mostly

    Belgium are going to be much, much better than in the last Euros, no guarantee either France or Brazil will beat them. Once they swat Japan aside without fuss, that is ;)

    What we can say is the route to the final is opening up for England in a once in a lifetime way. Whether they take advantage of it is another matter, but it is quite possible they will be favourites in all of the games they play until the final depending on the Croatia v Denmark result! That is reasonable for Germany and Brazil but unthinkable for England!

    I wonder if Belgium are still celebrating their victory over us :)

    Celebrating ? I still have to get my kimono ironed ... ;)
    I think they are a protected species?
    Either way, very cruel.

    The ref has got some guns on him.

    Putin's bound to have him covered by special forces.

    From what I have seen of them, I do find it hard to see them beating us unless we are totally off our game. I have a feeling the last QFs will be Belgium v Brazil and Switzerland v England
  • CAFCsayerCAFCsayer
    After that I'm convinced that winner of England vs Columbia makes the finals

    Dont wanna call between Sweden and Switzerland - Reckon that one will be even tighter than tonights game

    If Rodrigues does start against England, I suspect he won't be 100% and ripe for a few heavy challenges.
  • LawrieAbrahamsLawrieAbrahams
    I think there is a fag paper between the teams in our half. It is a really lopsided draw. Two good games yesterday in the top half and two poor ones today.
  • killerandflashkillerandflash
    It wasn't a complete surprise to me that Russia beat Spain, as home teams always play above themselves AND tend to get the rub of green!

    Russia Croatia to me is 50/50, neither looked entirely convincing today
  • NapaAddickNapaAddick
    I could see England collapsing against Russia, if they each get that far. I do not want Russia in the final under any circumstances. I may not be a fan of Messi. And I hate Ronaldo. But I hate Putin more than any player and don't want him to get any glory via his team and this WC.

    Depends if we can afford to pay the referees more.

    One thing is for sure it’s the Leicester city moment of international football

    But are we spurs or Leicester

    Can you imagine the situation if Brazil and France go out before the final and we are still in

    The NHS would collapse under the amount of 40 plus year old men having heart issues

    Glad to see you've lightened up a bit!
