Varney should be ashamed of himself (Leicester penalty taker) instead of putting the onus on Rashford who has never taken a professional penalty and please don’t let ITV have any more exclusive games ( no problem with the studio pundits) but Glen Hoddle is surely the worst pundit on TV is that varny, I hate you butler?

Phileas Fogg Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Great to see us win on pens. Really feared the worst when Dier took one, thought he was poor when he came on. Felt Alli was too actually, would prefer Loftus-Cheek if Alli isn’t fit. Slightly concerning how we’re not scoring from open play.. but if we’re still winning games then that’s obviously the priority. Thought Maguire was magnificent. Sterling the best he’s been all tournament. I like Walker but seems to have one big error in him most games, a better team might punish us. Overall - delighted we won. Colombia were horrible to play against, cynical cheats. Didn’t deserve the 1-1 draw in open play, they were incredibly lucky and thought they were going to win in extra time.

Once when we were 1-0 up, knowing the other team had a free kick, I cashed out. The other team equalised 5 seconds after I cashed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmissionImpossible Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 I’m really enjoying this World Cup but I was trying to put my finger on why there seems to be such a lack of quality. It’s bizarre. Compared to previous world cups there just doesn’t seem to be the amount of good players involved, Messi and Ronaldo are both unbelievable but that tier just below them really doesn’t have too many players in. Of course it could just be the tactics or out of form players etc but it does seem odd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really don’t fancy going through that again. Feel like I’ve aged ten years in one night. Certainly not a vintage England performance but I’ve said on here before that tournaments are all about staying alive by whatever means (Portugal did it brilliantly two years ago). I thought we were on the ropes for the first half of extra time and that if Colombia had gone for it, they may well have got a second goal. The team rallied a bit in the second half of extra time. Still concerned that we can’t keep a clean sheet - sooner or later that’s going to be our undoing. Anyway, onward to Samara. Tonight wasn’t good for the ticker or for the bank balance.... How many England fans were there last night mate? Looked like they were massively outnumbered by the Colombians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever happens on Sat or beyond, i think we can be very proud of Gareth Southgate. He talks a lot of sense, he's calm and always comes across as a really decent bloke. I thought initially he was a bit of a soft yes man but i don't think that's the case at all. Absolutely loving the passion in his celebrations. He may seem soft on the outside but there is certainly an England lion inside the man. I really hope he got some personal redemption from winning that shoot out, he's certainly earned it. Whatever he is doing is working, we have an England side we can believe in again. Not felt like this since 90 or 96. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 We broke the hoodoo of penalties, we did it! Was as tense as I thought it would be, tight and tense. Had a nagging worry with 10 mins to go at a lack of clean sheet in the tournament for us and lo and behold we conceded the late equaliser. When Henderson missed the pen I started to fear the worst, but Pickford delivered! Really happy for Southgate, after that 98 penalty shootout...

I was really willing England to win in extra time and even said if we are going to lose let it happen now, I just didn’t want penalties. But I didn’t want Columbia to get through either after their gameplay, so when we couldn’t break through pens it was. That experience although draininging in every way will have done them the power of good. They got to believe they can face anything now. Sweden will be tough but at least the style will be similar. Only 4 days until the match is probably a good thing as they will just want to get on with it now. I can always take defeat (England or City) if we have given our all and we’re beaten by a better team, Columbia got what they deserved last night, a bit of hope and then cruelly but justifiably snatched away.

Spot on M I agree with Gary Neville who said ,as it turned out , conceding late , hanging in against the cosh and then coming through penalties will be of more benefit to them than if they’d seen out the 1-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aizoon Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Does anyone else think that Colombia would be a half-decent team if they gave up the cheating and whining?

I think it’s more they really didn’t have any confidence to attack England until they were desperate. IF they had done that from the start they would certainly have scored earlier but possibly left themselves exposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
