[Football] The Official Match Thread: England v Colombia

[Sheebo]

We’ve been great in our 2 games so far - make it 3 wins out of 3 and a 1/4 against the Swedes would be fantastic. Colombia def a harder game than Japan but glad we’re In this half still - hopefully it will work out for us.

I am expecting the worse, then I won't be too unhappy if we lose, but hoping we can put in a good strong performance from the off.
We may have to find a bit of win at all cost mentality, not sure we have any of that.

Whatever happens win or lose, I want England to put up a fight.

 

[Mellotron]

Tight game so a loss wouldn’t be a disgrace, but as everyone else is saying just really want England to play without fear, and play the high tempo stuff that suits this set of players.

Cmon lads.

This, from a Scotsman, made me smile a bit

Fill yer boots now, might be tears before bedtime

Well said Mello, this is really all we want. Going out is only disappointing if we play poorly. If we play well and the best team won, I can live with that....now roll over and die Colombia, there's a good sport!

We play against the best team in this side of the draw tonight.

England back to full strength as expected, same team that faced Tunisia.

Meanwhile according to BBC Sport James Rodriguez hasn’t even been named in the squad! Pleased that Izquierdo isn’t starting.

Pleased that Izquierdo isn’t starting.

Why out of interest?

 

[SweatyMexican]

NOTHING will go wrong tonight!

It’s coming home.

Bet Sileby Rangers are dead chuffed they arranged this fixture for tonight (presumably their annual money-raising friendly against the local Football League club )

They've had singing lessons too. Best England vocal performance I have heard in a long time.

Here we go then.

Isn't it weird in this day and age seeing a bunch of rich, talented young men wishing for a God they probably don't believe in to preserve the health of a ninety two year old monarch?

I don't mind the Queen for one second but I do think our current national anthem should be a thing of the past, at least for England (as opposed to Great Britain or UK) events.

How many times will the dinosaur Hoddle say the word "TAD". Dull, dull co-commentator only outdone by the joyless Lawrenson.

Sterling looks pumped
