[Football] The Official Match Thread: England v Colombia

[Gabbafella]

We've got the better keeper so fingers crossed.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

She's a cruel mistress, football.

I think we all know how this ends.

Still, before the tournament all I wanted was a team that was positive and had a go. We've done that. Shame it'll end at the hands of a bunch of snidesters in the classic fashion.

Too short apparently.

 

[Gwylan]

I have a good feeling about this: we can't keep losing penalty shoot-outs

 

[Saunders]

Yeah that kind of thinking assumed WAY too much. We are England. But at least if we go out, this time we've done ourselves proud unlike in Brazil.

Its an easier side of the draw nobody said we would get to the final or beat Colombia. At least it wont be Sweden knocking us out this time.

Tons of people said we'd beat Columbia and tons said it was our year.

 

[Seagulltonian]

I've cashed out my England to win the World Cup bet just now!!
We're win!

Class from Kane

Really? we havent had the tub thumping shit and who in their right mind thinks we can win this we still have to play the winner of the other half this is a learning experience for the comming generation

Class from Kane

ball seemed to hang in the top of net, was so fierce.

 

[Weststander]

Pickford taking wild guess left or right saves. The norm for goalies.

Schmeichal the other night waits and waits, to see what side. Unusual.

 

[sjamesb3466]

Four excellent pens so far

waits? he plays massive mind games, one of them he kept pointing one way to the taker. think he saved it too.

They lost

 

[brakespear]

ffs

 

[sjamesb3466]

Great save but knew Henderson would miss. Made it obvious which way he was going

 

[AmexRuislip]

Come on England

 

[sjamesb3466]

Get in!!!

Come on Trippier! Yes!!

 

[brakespear]

Pickford!

 

[beorhthelm]

looked a bit soft, placing rather than power.
