England won't have to keep their heads as much as they did against the "lets get them sent off" Columbians.

Although we always struggle against the Swedes, they are actually more likely to play football rather than cheat.

2-0 or maybe 2-1 to England :) (Sorry Sara :p )

Either way, PLEASE no penalties, heart just can't take that again :oops:
 
I suppose one of England's strengths this tournament has been their game- management.

Haven't seen them fall behind yet, the Belgium game doesn't count, and so have always been on the front foot for the majority of games.

The England I know would be leading and then concede two in ten minutes, and be chasing the game:D

Much as I don't like this team, it's hard to deny them a Semi-Final spot based on their resilience, and even harder not to get swept up in the euphoria :cheerleader:

Second half though is where it's at. Expect the Alamo in overdrive :eek2:
 
Wa-hey! I remember clearly the 1990 SF against Germany. Like this year we were in a long hot heatwave and I had just bought my first house. I stood out on the lawn trying to cool down and absorb the disappointment, the numbness at about 10:45 that 1st. July 1990. Work the next day was subdued, everybody. So near yet so far. I want any team except the French to win, anybody. If you want a mystery, like where's the gold 'D' on Bonanza, tell me how on earth the Machine Gun Midget has manged to accumulate 50 England caps. I'm baffled, he must have something on somebody. :confused:

I'm at a loss what MGM contributes really. Terrible composure in front of goal, can't pass and can't cross :laugh:

I think his saving grace is how he pulls defenders wide and opens up the defensive line, for better players around him to exploit the gaps, that's about it :cool:
 
Well done England. Surprisingly comfortable.
They finally did what they so often fail to do in the really big games and got that second goal.
Kane didn't score, but he's still looking good for the Golden Boot.
More importantly, he's going to be the highest scoring player on Sun Dream Team :p

I'm just wondering (like Mr. D is) why Sterling continues to get minutes on the pitch.
Rashford has pace (if that's the excuse they are using for continuing to play MGM), but he actually knows how to score goals,
yet he has spent the tournament keeping the bench warm instead of playing.

Funny to think that in 2007, England failed to qualify for the Euros after they lost their final two games to.....Russia and Croatia.

Guess where that loss to Russia happened? In the Luzhniki, where England's semi final is being played.

Funny how things can sometimes come full circle.
 
They might make the final but I can't see them beating Blistering Belgium or Fantastic France. Both teams are very strong and will be a true test. I fancy Belgium to win this now.

Marcus Rashford=Super sub in case they need some fresh inspiration urgently.
 
Poor Sterling. Scrolling down the BBC Player Ratings Poll, sure enough, bottom again :eek2:

sterling.webp


Even the subs scored higher :confused:
 
Is that a poll of players from just today's game if so what is Rashford doing on their with less than 4 mins play in the game and Dier didn't play?

Southgate decided to stick with the same team as vs Columbia, for continuity if anything. Although Rashford should always play partnered with Kane, with Sterling as super- sub......

Dier's a 'closer', someone brought on to see the game out. Henderson's not as defensive- minded but is definitely more proactive.

I think that Rashford would have taken those chances that Sterling wasted. I love the fact that Pickford has had to really battle to make the grade after being farmed out on loan to various lowly teams on loan spells.

Anyhoo. for me its a sign of the times that I'm getting so excited about a potential semi! :(
