Day 20: Sweden vs Switzerland and Colombia vs England

[Crimson King]

Did you type that out while chugging down an eel pie with a pint of lager?

Nah, I don't really have a patriotic bone in my body, half my family are Scottish, and most of these players I have no love for.

But if you haven't watched this tumescent game without noticing the shithouse antics of the Colombian team above everything else, then I worry for you.

 

[Drainy]

The Dier sub killed the game

It was such a regressive change. Gave the game away.

 

[Janson]

Not bringing RLC and Rashford on is a massive mistake.

This is not the time for youngsters.

 

[Minimalist]

Why do ITV keep panning to James Rodriguez

Cause he's on the pitch?

 

[Andycoleno9]

Oh england, i wanted croatia- england semi so much

 

[RedSky]

Vardy = 2 touches in 20mins.

 

[Liver_bird]

Not bringing on RLC and Rashford was brainless from Southgate.

 

[Revan]

Pekerman should throw a Van Gaal and sub Ospina off in the last few minutes. The second keeper cannot be worse in pens, and England might get a bit mindfecked, especially considering that pens has historically been a barrier for them.

 

[Nick7]

Why do ITV keep panning to James Rodriguez

It's the local directors doing that.

 

[FootballHQ]

The scenes on here when Welbeck comes on instead of Rashford and in 119th minute shoots............



into Row F while falling over from 5 yards out.

 

[cyberman]

Does Lee Dixon think he's playing?/why would a pundit not think about pens?

 

[K2K]

The Dier sub killed the game

Who did he come on for?

 

[JoaquinJoaquin]

Disgusting that equaliser. Colombia deserved nothing out the game.

 

[el magico]

Worried now. Dier and Vardy on. Sterling off, the whole team shape has changed and not for the better.

As I said, the shape has gone completely. Sterling's role was vital and Dier and Vardy are not contributing.

 

[Eckers99]

The word England really should be a verb for uncontrollable collapse.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

The Dier sub killed the game

Yup.

And now we're suffering with him in midfield when we actually need to play football

 

[El Zoido]

Ban ITV from showing England World Cup games.

[paulscholes18]

Did England ever win a pentaly shoot out?

Spain in Euro 96

 

[Crimson King]

Who dug you up?

 

[Trizy]

I'd back Pickford over Ospina for the penalties but would you back England's takers? Answer: No.

 

[RW2]

England haven't created a noteworthy chance yet but strangely I fancy them on penalties

 

[Canagel]

England look tired

What was the whole point of resting players against Belgium then? They should be the fresher team. Colombia players have covered more distance than England in the tournament as well.

 

[Josep Dowling]

Just proves Southgate has talked the talk but can’t walk the walk.

Same problems every tournament. Can’t see our a game. Check

Heads gone. Check

Looking for pens we don’t win. Check

 

[Random Task]

At least Rose can get into dangerous areas and put a decent ball in. I'm assuming Young was injured or shattered

A combination of both I guess. Still I would have prefered an attacking sub - specifically one that can taken a decent penalty.

 

[OutlawGER]

Spain in Euro 96

How many lost?

 

[Raoul]

Did realize Ester Fan Cambiasso was part of the Columbia coaching team.

 

[dumbo]

Cheating with a huddle now apparantly. Anti England conspiracy.

 

[Liver_bird]

Who did he come on for?

Alli but it should have been RLC and Rashford.

 

[Ace of Spades]

England should have gone for the win, with so many players on a yellow and they just are not putting any pressure on them.

 

[KirkDuyt]

Vardy you twat!


Nvm offside anyway

 

[Eboue]

Who dug you up?

innit

 

[Pastore27]

England players divings are embarassing

Had to read that twice

 

[sullydnl]

For such an objectively poor game, this is pretty compelling stuff.

 

[Brwned]

Gonna be a looooooong set of penalties here. Ospina is useless but these England players haven't got it in them

 

[justboy68]

The'll win this as long as they hit the target with 5 penalties. Ospina won't save anything.

Tall order. I wish I was kidding.

 

[paulscholes18]

How many lost?

6

 

[K2K]

If England bottles this and lose this, I blame everyone of you fecker and the damn arrogant and self-entitled English media who starts with this coming home bollocks. Great fecking jinx. England beat the mighty Panama and Tunisia and the media start bigging us up to win the World Cup. Good fecking riddance. I for one hope Colombia knock England out. Teach us a lesson or two on humility. Learn from the Germans who are always so humble.

Not sure if serious.

 

[Eboue]

Had to read that twice

Nice

 

[balaks]

Omg stones

 

[Acole9]
