If we get nothing else from this World Cup, 12 years without a knockout round and not to mention to do it with our biggest voodoo off our back. All those years of hurt from penalties.


LOL Wrightys celebration!
 
How can we possibly enjoy a sport that is so detrimental to our mental and emotional well being lol. It's literally an emotional rollercoaster from **** lol

Know the feeling. When I watched pen shoot outs from the older generation.....when I was a bit younger.....my god-it felt unreal. There was just so much adrenalin flying through, and when it wore off-holy **** lol. Though it wasn't helped by...well everyone knows the history of past shoot outs lol.
 
Shout out to Maguire, great tonight.

Pickford as well, forget the shootout, that save just before their goal was world class. Best save of the tournament probably it was that good.
 
As soon as Dier was brought on I thought England through this magnificent opportunity away. But they got away with it and Dier scored the clincher PK. Why is Sterling and Alli still starting? Both have been below average this tournament. I was screaming for Loftus-Cheek to be in the game. I think he could of done a lot more against Colombia then those other two. Why is Kane playing as a Box-to-Box midfielder? He was receiving the ball at the edge of his own box. He kept coming deeper and deeper to get the ball. Can no one else play the ball through the middle?
 
Sweden will be a dog of a team to play against, one of them teams England don't have great record against either.

but still a fantastic opportunity, they play a 4-4-2, it's very English football old-school way of playing. But if we have good movement, between the lines and pace we should cause it problems.

Also I don't get the hate for Steriing again, no one is saying he was great in an attacking sense. But no one was, it was that type of game where Colombia wouldn't allow any momentum to be built. The referee couldn't control the game also.

Sterling was man-handled all game, but I thought he kept the ball well, despite Mina use him for piggy back most the game.

But I'm still not sure what is best lineup for Sweden.
 
Oh lord, 3 days break, what I am supposed to do with myself until Friday.

As an English fan I need this 2 day break so badly after last night... I felt I'd aged 50 years after that.
 
England really need to produce a central mid who can spark some creativity and good forward passes in midfield. Wilshere isn't good enough and over-hyped. There is one probably coming through somewhere in the lower divisions when I can't think of.

Doubt it can be same lineup for Sweden because of fitness/fatigue and some injuries.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek Defo has it in his locker.

He's good but not sure if his passing range is that great, he seems more of a creator than a dictator. Henderson again fits into numerous categories as well.

If only we still had Scholesy! One of the most misused England players ever.

Lewis Cook, product of Leeds stolen by Bournemouth(as supporter devasteted but good to see him playing higher level). A bit early for this WC but if keeps up his game he will be in the next.

Lewis Cook is scheming midfielder England have desperately lacked - will he force late World Cup spot?

On other notes. Shame not getting Super Cup tickets. Local guys dont get tickets but workmate from Turkey got approved for them...I have no luck I assume :/ Ahh will keep the money for Leeds trip this season.
