Brumerican Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 That total football thing the back 6 do has you shitting your pants at times . Unless you're Xavi era Barcelona you'll get punished sooner rather than later , but it is fun to watch . Was great to see Southgate go nuts at the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 England deserved that, Colombia didn't attempt to play football in first 80 minutes. I'm happy the negative penalty cycle has been broken aswell. All England penalties were good, even the missed one was in the corner. Think after this and another tight one v Sweden they'll be drained by semi final if they win the QF. Croatia big favourites to progress from this half if they keep their heads together imo. England just don't create enough from open play to seriously threaten to win this competition imo. Just be thankful it isn't Brazil/Uruguay/France after this game! Maybe Southgate did know what he was doing v Belgium.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Jesus that was hard work. I didn’t watch the shoot out, I sat in the garden with the cat. Obviously the whole country should be sending me thanks. You’re all welcome. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Trippier admitting he got it wrong for their goal. I hope Southgate and others give him a pep talk, he is a very good right back in the making. Nice to hear him be so honest too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Might be a broad generalisation of a continent but I have no time for South American nations playing football. Petty much all of them are despicable cheats. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 England players went back onto the pitch to applaud the fans. Got to say, I love the connection that is building between the manager and players, then the players and the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we were great tonight but you never know! We might never have a better opportunity to win the world cup again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Key was finishing second, can't believe Southgate got all the flak for "losing momentum" when it's a piss easy route compared to Brazil and France which is what Belgium have got. France or Brazil would beat England comfortably imo, would match them physically and obviously have the game changing players like Neymar and Mbappe. For once that sort of opponent won't be waiting for England in the quarters. Croatia weren't great the other night but think they'll tire England out with their possession, need to beat Russia and Putin VAR of course first.

I admit I don't watch a great deal of it but I have to say most South American players in this world cup have displayed scumbag like tendencies. Cheating, diving, play acting, etc Hoping Neymar breaks his leg on Friday. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
