Righto then. Looks like we’ll have to be happy with being runners up. Belgium absolutely mullering Tunisia.

I think the ref handled Tunisia much better today.

Yeah but they do look like they will concede so it's going to be tough, other part is the England and Belgium players know a lot about each other

In the office:

“We’re gonna win!”

”England look crap lol acting like they’ve won the World Cup at every goal.”

“Belgium will destroy England.”

“Well they better win tomorrow.”

😳

Depending how that other group goes, losing to Belgium could be no bad thing. The further we manage to stay away from ze Germans the better.

Lets see how they turn up against Sweden first, though knocking the stuffing out of Belgium would do a lot of good for England, momentum works

We do, of course, have to beat Panama first.

Looking like Mexico to top the group at this rate, if Sweden get something out of the game it's very bad news for the Germans

I think that was just because of the amount of time Terry Butcher kept saying 2 clean sheets.

Going to be a very big game this evening

Germans will be like a wounded tiger  they'll probably go on to win the whole thing now.

It will be interesting to see if they can respond tonight, I am not sure they will. Other than Werner up front they are not blessed with any real speed in the squad.

The view from some of my German colleagues is that Low isn't a great manager, he hasn't underachieved, but he hasn't overachieved with the players he has either. Germany has a good structure behind the scenes and pretty much any manager could have achieved what he has.

At full speed I thought it was 50/50, on the replay it was a definite pen.

Has there actually been any penalties awarded by var? I have seen them overturned, and I have seen a few that should have been given, but I don't think I have seen one awarded that the ref has missed yet.

Good finish that. Germans look annoyed, don't think they are going to take that lying down.

Germany last went out in the group stages in 1938....... are we sure we want to risk annoying them again?

Germany are very lucky to be only one down. That was a nailed on penalty, because they were absolutely all over the place at the back

I didn’t think I’d ever say that about a German defence 😳

The last 15 mins have been played in the Swedish half..

😳

The German team don’t seem to want to let the ball anywhere near their own half 🍔

Massively disappointed in the Grips house but it's a fair result. Sweden didn't have much.
