Well, that’s a turn up for the books.
Not sure England deserved to win as such, but I’m pretty sure Colombia deserved to lose.
banana skin 1 negotiated. on to the second....
Point I was thinking, even if england do get through to the final via this, quite frankly, piss easy, route. 😆
Ye no think that'll be a bad thing then having to face the team that emerges from the proper, much much much harder side of the draw? 😆
In the world cup, never!
"Pickford(s) remove Columbia from the World Cup"
Headline for the Sun ??
Spain in Euro 96 I think.
Last time we played a LatAm team that resorted to just playing dirty - Argentina 1966........
It really is coming home.
Arse - I'm tied up reffing an event on sat pm, no chance of getting out and not going to be easy to avoid the result
Holy shitballs
Really pleased for them. Plenty of thinking to do before Saturday but Sveeeeeden are beatable. A few penalty-related demons exorcised tonight. Well done England.
the problem with Southgate is he wants to be the players best mate and be liked so he won't make the tough decisions required.

I'm out of the work sweepstake 🙁 I thought Colombia had an easy way to the final at this morning but ah well

Eh?
Impressed my lad by predicting which of our lot would miss pens. I had Henderson and Lingard nailed on for a miss for reference.
Lucky to get away with that one, though, Columbia were a dirty lot and dragged us down to their level.
Shit
The
Bed
Yeahhh ... England won a penalty shoot for once ... 🙂
Nearly gave me a heart attack watching England play ....
Pickford has clearly never done a post match interview before, being a goalie..
This is why I don't watch footie, way too intense for my aging heart.
Brilliant result.

agreed
Those were all good penalties. Never thought I'd type that when talking about England.
Double post!
So happy for Henderson getting let off and Trippier for being one of the best players England have had there, he has been one running till the end, unlucky to be the man on the post who misread the strike but made up there. Pickford did well to keep going till number 5 too
England will beat Sweden no doubt about that but after that it might be very difficult.
My hope is to see Uruguay and Croatia in the final.
I still haven't seen a replay of his normal time save, which was an absolute worldie.
Oh on a second ... Not only have England won on pens ... 3 were scored by the Spurs boys.
arrgh no game till friday !
phew.
Blimey. England winning a penalty shoot-out? Whatever next!! :0
Had a feeling we could do it on pens but still, the tensions.... Nopenopenope.
And agreed on Sweden - I caught bits of it today and it wasn't great - even the goal was a lucky deflection which wouldn't have gone in otherwise. Hopefully this is the end of the properly dirty teams, we've had a few of them!
Edit: Might as well leave this here. Proper requested link below.

Was expecting Southgate to cry in that interview, I've got a lot of respect for him, a breath of fresh air for England there.
Oh and England should never play in grey. Redemption
Pickford was so far off his line for that penalty save, 😀
no, the one that lead to the corner which lead to their equaliser
Pickford was so far off his line for that penalty save,
6s in the link posted, foot still on line
I’m nearly with you there, chewkw.
BBC have the save in their feed.
He kept one foot on the line for the penalty save, which I think makes it ok*
*Although I knew it as not being able to move beyond the line at all until the ball was struck when I played in goal many years ago, didn't stop me though;-)
The two Harry’s were my men of the match today. I think seosamh should be banned for unnecessary teasing. 😉
Next round quarter-final stage:
Uruguay will beat France by 2 goals.
Belgium will beat Brazil by 1 goal.
Croatia will beat Russia by 2 goals.
England will be Sweden by 1 or 2 goals.
Next next round semi-final stage:
Uruguay will beat Belgium by 2 goals.
Croatia will beat England by 2 goals.
😀 😀 😀
proper fingertip save that one.
hmmm
