    That was hard work just watching that for nearly two hours. 

    England showing enough weaknesses that we could be pulled apart by a better team still but FFS I could cry right now. Phew! 

    And I don’t get the Colombian tactics - effectively they would have won that match had they not given away a penalty 
    yeah exactly, when Columbia actually tried to play football they were the better team. Only themselves to blame for playing dirty cheating squabbling pussies for 70 minutes. IT'S COMING HOME!
    Colombia had, I think, more shots on target and scored from free play. England had a bunch of set pieces they made little use of. 
    Got to be optimistic about the Sweden match. 
    They scored from a corner - but they were the better football team. They spent the first 70 minutes squabbling with the ref, scuffing up the penalty spot before Kane took it and they did well not to get a red after receiving several yellows. Good riddance to them. We didn't play well but deserved to go through in the end. 

    I now have to persuade the Mrs that I will NOT be going to Cambridge on Saturday so I can watch the quarter final.

    I agree that Colombia didn't deserve anything from the game so on the night England's advance was certainly deserved. But man, what f**king tedium it was to watch. Japan last night looked so much better than either England or Columbia I reckon they could have beaten them both on the pitch at the same time! England looked terrified of driving the ball forward.

    Columbia didn't deserve to win that, totally dirty and to me epitomize all that is wrong with the game.

    Not really sure what game you were watching. England did all the attacking until about the 82nd minute. I don’t think Columbia has even been our box until the last few minutes of normal time.

    I ran out of the house and shouted “YEEEESSSSSSS!!!!” as loud as I could in our Close shaking my fists in the air. What a feeling, fuck that shit! it's a wonderful feeling to be English when that happens.

    I'm well impressed, I would say this is the best England football team we've had in 20 years, Gareth Southgate looks the biz as Manager. 

    History and the odds say we won't win the Cup but dare we dream? Yes....

    I don't want to go through anything like that again. I'd rather be waterboarded in a CIA 'black site' prison.

    Bring on Sweden.

    Sweden will be tough to beat. They are big and strong and our forward line, bar Kane, are somewhat short and on the evidence tonight easy knocked off the ball.

    Sweden have some terrible players though. Seb Larsson and Ola Toivonen to name two. I should know, I saw plenty of their "performances" at Sunderland. It would be a travesty to lose to Sweden if these two fuckers can get a game.

    Columbia posed more of a threat than Sweden will, but I do worry about Englands lack of penetration.  Not enough quality balls from midfield, nothing for the forwards to run onto.
    Sweden will be organised and England need to up their creativity.

    Looking at the odds, the bookies make England stronger favourites than they did against Columbia and you would expect England to progress, if nothing else Harry Kane should make the difference.

    I was watching the game where England managed only 2 shots on target all night. Ospina was hardly tested (penalties excepted of course ;-)

    Colombia looked like thugs but England didn't look remotely dangerous.
