Just seen it floating around twitter that Guardiola won the Spanish title in 2010, then Spain won the World Cup the same summer. In 2014 the same, with Bayern and Germany.
Absolutely devastated. Once in a lifetime chance to make it to the semis (given Russia was next). Losing after 90 mins, I can sort of cope with. Not losing like this though.

My condolences. ALL the teams on this side of the draw will be feeling the tension now, as it's such a great opportunity to make the final, never mind the QF or SF.
So we have established that in 1966 and 2018 Real Madrid won the Champions League Man City won their league Burnley got into europe England scored over 4 goals in a world cup game Russia won their opening 2 games.
What people are missing is that in 1966 Andy Murray didnt play at Wimbledon either
If Rodrigues does start against England, I suspect he won't be 100% and ripe for a few heavy challenges.
To go deep into a competition, you need nous. Remember the treatment Rooney got when they suspected he had a weakness when he got red carded against Portugal. Some full blooded challenges on James Rodriguez in first 15 minutes by different players. Southgate engineered us into the weaker half of the draw. We need the extra % out of the Colombian game. The worry for me is Kane will take punishment as well because the stakes are high now and winners take all.
My fear is that Kane gets injured, and if i were the oppo I'd be targetting him. Not just because he's our main threat but the psychological impact would be severe on the rest of the side. If he stays fit, I think we could do well, though I still think winning is a step too far. Anything better than the quarters will be a huge success given expectations prior to the tournament.
Have to say I have watched every angle of that Pavard's goal since the game and I don't think I have seen such beautiful technique in a strike my whole life.
Yeah, @ForeverAddickted probably can't justify the Nacho goal at all now - as this was the same but much more stylish. Unless he wants to justify it of course

I justified it a few pages ago and will stick to my opinion from the off
I liked both goals - I think Nacho's curved a bit more so if I had a gun to my head or had to pick I would probably pick that one! It is marginal though!
Looking at the two Pavard’s goal seems like the better finish. However I’m not sure he meant to put all that spin on the ball and he could’ve potentially got lucky that he hit a sweet spot off the side of the boot
Nacho however makes the perfect connection with the ball. If Pavard’s intention was to hit it like that then his goal is much more skilful. But I’m not sure.
I know you probably shouldn't change a winning side but i'm surprised Brazil continue to stick with Gabriel Jesus. He starts again today but in my opinion, Firmino deserves a chance.

In 2018, he's won the English title...

It was intentional and perfection.
Nacho
*EDIT* Copied the wrong gif address. DOH!
Pavard
That's the kind of hit you dream about.
Here is Nacho's goal... is how he keeps it down as well, ball is a bloody missile the way its gone in
Watching both a few times though its scary how both Nacho and Pavard are almost in the same spot
Nacho however makes the perfect connection with the ball. If Pavard’s intention was to hit it like that then his goal is much more skilful. But I’m not sure.
the spain one looks like a cleaner strike, hence I'd pick that one....tough call though and I'd be happy scoring either in my lifetime !!

Cue at least 2 goals from Jesus now.
