[Football] The Official Match Thread: England v Colombia

[Gabbafella]

I'm not a fan of VAR, so why cannot the blind b@stards that are monitoring it, help, the referee in this game, its madness

Definitely something fishy going on as that was clearly a red, everyone but the people in control of VAR could see it.

Could get a bit tasty in the second half, the Columbians are getting naughty.

 

[drew]

Crying out for Rashford to replace Sterling.

 

[Oscar]

Well, I thought we did alright in that first half. It's been a while since we saw an England team that confident on the ball and quick to the tackle in a major competition.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Sterling has looked good to me. Colombia are clearly worried about him. Unfortunately Sterling has become England's scapegoat.

They are hacking at him

 

[LVGull]

****ing dirty South American *****

 

[Razzoo]

You can’t be surprised? So are Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay.

I thought they had a bit more class. Maybe it's just Jose who is the exception.

Colombians are scummy cheating ballbags. I hope we send them packing.

How many South American teams can we say this about down the years? Par for the course I'm afraid. We need to not react to it.

 

[Ernest]

Can sense one of our BOYS doing a Beckham and getting sent off

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Lets use our heads here.

Lets not pull at attacking corners as they will and go down.

 

[Southern Scouse]

Everyone likes to see us suffer, as we are obviously better.

Sterling has looked good to me. Colombia are clearly worried about him. Unfortunately Sterling has become England's scapegoat.

Seriously? He was DOG TURD during the first half. Powder puff, poor first touch and can't shoot. But then we know all that. Rashford on me thinks.

 

[The Gem]

100%

I know it sounds over the top, but I hate Sterling playing in any England team

The American ref, should subpoena the video referee!

 

[Weststander]

Yep. Sterling or Alli.

Need to rise above the antics of this inferior SCUM.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Seriously? He was DOG TURD during the first half. Powder puff, poor first touch and can't shoot. But then we know all that. Rashford on me thinks.

Personally I'd rather concentrate on abusing the opposition

In this tournament, there must be an instruction to keep 22 players on the pitch, if at all possible.

Agree 100%. It makes the fact that Rashford had the opportunity knowing Sterling was under pressure to take his place and he was dog awful against Belgium.
