No one is gonna be singing coming home after tonight :P

Didn't you say Columbia would smash England? ;)

100% sure Sweden are saying the same about England after that performance.

 

Again, it will be an even match. We just have to approach it with caution and the Sweden team with respect. Just like we did this match, at least the saner members of the England supporters did.

:drama:

 

That is all.

Guys, if you think we're being cocky, you're wrong. We're just confused and fluctuating in our approach. One minute we will be full of bravado, the next, self-deprecating to the last. It's a sign of how passionate we can get about football.

I feel bad for Colombia too as Houdini does, but Well done to England :cheer: , I am sure Sweden will make it difficult for England in the next match with their organised defending and quick counterattacks, so England shouldn't underestimate them!

 

 

That so f***ing tense but I'm ecstatic England broke both the ITV and penalties curse in one match *.* The commentator is right that England definitely needed a penalties win.

 

The game itself was dreadful though. A return back to the shoddy 2010-14 era England. Panicky, sloppy, lack of attack. Really bad stuff and then to concede an equaliser in the last couple of minutes of injury time is just the cherry on the cake. I hope they learn some big lessons from today because Sweden will be tough. We don't have a good record against them. The only thing better is that it will be more traditional football without the dirty tactics and dramatics that we've seen from Colombia, Tunisia and Panama.

I JUST WANT A GAME WITHOUT HUGGING, DIVING, PIGGYBACKING, PUSHING AND ANYTHING SIMILAR

 

IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK

I wouldn’t feel bad for Columbia, they played dirty and got their just desserts. And this is coming from someone who is not an England fan.

 

I think lower expectations are working in England’s favour. The team do not come across as cocky and actually seem to be working better as a team then they have for years.

 

Still, I’m getting a little tired of the phrase ‘it’s coming home’ especially when uttered by my students multiple times a day and I have to remind them that, whether they like it or not, they live in Wales and so football certainly isn’t going home to them.

IT ISN'T FOOTBALL WITHOUT THAT :D

 

Pickford was amazing saving those last 2 penalties, let's all hug PICKFORD :D

Colombia were dreadful, they displayed a shocking lack of sportsmanship. They definitely deserved to lose as does anyone playing like that.

 

On the subject of thrashing Sweden, it will be super close imo. If we play like that against Sweden we'll certainly be in trouble!! Really poor stuff. Where were the chances? I could count them on one hand from an entire 120 minutes....

Cockiness is still alive it seems ;)

England getting through by the skin of their teeth, I feel bad for Colombia.

Even given the way they played?

I would feel bad for any team that lost, but come on, Colombia's play was really dirty and foul-ridden for the majority of that match, they calmed down admittedly and did have some good shots but were undeniably the worse team in terms of fair play (we weren't perfect in that regard either, but being realistic here). They did not deserve it, and this is coming from someone that was happy Iceland beat England after the way they played in that game.

 

I don't think it's really cocky to assume that after their performance today that we have a decent chance against Sweden, they weren't particularly good today, granted we weren't particularly good either. They could easily wear us out and we have to be ready for that, but keeping a positive mindset isn't a crime.

I seriously can't believe this is real. WE WON ON PENALTIES!!!

Ok ok maybe a couple of me predictions have been wrong so far.

 

So!

 

For me next predictions:

 

A France vs England/ Sweden final

 

But England scraping past Sweden would be something ELSE. Sweden AAALWAAAYS destroys England and with EMBARRASSINGLY good goals, historic goals, too.

 

England needs to sort its head out and join with Wales and Scotland for Gareth Bates, etc. He is wasted in a Welsh team as it will never get to the same level as England. So, join it all together! Invite Ireland in too for a UK and Ireland team. It's the only way England will EVER win again.

It's not the team that are cocky. It's all the people saying "It's coming home" after every England match even though there are stronger teams still left in the tournament. The people saying "We'll beat them easily", and it's the media in general.

Can klaus die?
