World Cup 2018

That last England pen was not even on the spot...

how the feck did he save that....

Last 8, but we won't win it.. just huffed and puffed thru Colombia

we are through nothing to get excited about though... no obvious favourite ? um Brazil ?

England are still shite.

England have won their first ever world cup penalty shoot
Out ffs.

Well deserved now sod off you cheating bar stewards Columbia

Should never have got to penalties after controlling the match for 80 minutes against a not especially good team but it does make a pleasant change to go through.Thought that was it after missing that first one but that was an excellent save from Pickford and due credit to him and the following penalty takers. England have taken enough flak over the years for their technical and temperamental ineptitude in these situations and quite right too, so well done to them for getting one monkey off their backs. Sweden will be hard but definitely not unbeatable, just got a feeling that England will do them.

Why do pundits wear a shirt that is one size too small?

I feckin hate watching England on ITV!

Dunno, early stages of eventually spontaneous internal combustion maybe?

I don't think we've given Sweden anything to worry about. Awful.

We won. We needed to win job done. Before the tourney I'd have bitten your hand off for quarters and something to build on. Bring on the Swedes who ain't all that, im fookin delighted.

As a footnote we must be the only nation capable of beating ourselves up after winning a knockout world cup match, self flaggelation at its worst, I blame religion.

It's coming home.

Absolutely. Every chance of going further, who the feck cares if we didn't win by more, or play that well.

So Ryan Giggs says '' Columbia etc etc .... up to antics!'' Then Hoddle mentions 'penetration' - I've wet myself.

I wish I was an able seaman on your banter boat. The banter would have been 24/7

Our very own Captain Pugwash how long before Master Bates gets a mention?

What about seaman stains? Where's he these days, FFS. Tory bastard he is.

The Herald sent a reporter (who did not know anything about football)and camera to walkabout to film any trouble outside, they were let down because there wasn't any

For me despite the obvious claims of Harry Kane I think Kirean Trippier has been our player of the tournamount to date

Was I the only one thinking Henderson was going to miss.

In the quarters desevedly but Sterling has had enough chances.  Rashford to start against Sweden
Will be a very different game and very unlikely to see the dark arts that Colombia employed

You would think Trippier with all his money would get a decent haircut.

Watched the first 90 minutes down at the Eden Sessions.
Didn't watch the extra time and penalties as Queens of the Stone Age were due on stage and that was my main reason for being down there after all.
Had a mate texting me as the penalty shoot out took place, and there was quite some celebrating once the final penalty was scored. Right on cue, QOTSA launched into 'No One Knows' and the celebrations continued!
Onto Saturday now. Agree with Harv, get Sterling off.
Only thing about Saturday, Junior General has a school music festival that he's helping to organise, but he assures me that it'll finish by 2pm.
It better do, or I could be watching somewhere in Fowey, and getting a boat home!
