I like Kane a lot the more I see him play but we dont have to worry about tottenham with their other two donkeys, Diers and Ally.
England back to their own gutless effort and is brainless. Sterling should have passed the ball instead of shooting in the first half on two occasions, he just doesnt have a football brain and he is no faster than any of the colombian defence.

I wonder if the commentary in other countries is like this as well. It's definitely quite extreme today.

Yes. I understand both Spanish and Arabic and commentators are incredibly partisan when commentating on their national teams. I don't understand why people think this is a uniquely English thing?

The flip side is of course when they rip into their players after mistakes and bad performances.....which again, is not unique to the English media.
 
England has to win a penalty shootout to be a contender, that's how voodoo works. This is as good a time as any.

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

Vardy and Kane score most of the ones they take but not sure who afterwards would be obvious takes. How many has Rashford taken for Man. United? Henderson, Dier, Maguire etc....very much in routlette wheel terrority.
 
Aren't England defenders supposed ti be good with the ball? Why are they passing it to Columbians, even though they aren't even pressed?

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.

It's not even about humility. It's keeping your nerve and going game by game.

However, the opposite is also true. England are still very much in it, so they should refocus and win the bloody thing.

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

Well. Now i am sure he will be the hero against England if it comes to penalties. :lol:
 
Ahhh.. Stones out, Cahill in ...
 
Literally the only shot apart from goals that I remember from this game is that crazy Colombian shot.
 
Walker is knackered, wasn't so much a dive as he just collapsed.

Wouldn't have him taking a penalty.
