I might trust Shearer's opinion a bit more than STW 🙂
He couldn’t hit a cows arse with a banjo! Get Rashford on
Alli looks about as match fit as me
Has Kane touched the ball? I don’t remember it if he has.
Yes, he pretty much stole it off Stirling and nearly scored about 20 minutes in
Interesting ..Im happy with Lingard ..just think he would be better placed where Alli is playing with Loftus Cheek in his position ..
Sterling needs replacing at some point with Rashford
Sweden has started strong 😬
Weren't you lot complaining about Pickford earlier?
I've never doubted his ability ..just his Makem parentage ..in terms of not liking him
Delighted for them with the score line but man, this is such poor quality football.
Well expect more of the same if Russia get through
Oh man, Ali scores. 😂
Wow Dele Alli ..what a player 😁
Lots of pressure building there, swapping them around, working the defence both ways then make the gap
Delighted for them with the score line but man, this is such poor quality football.
yip, gonny be a big step up at some point.
hat trick 'arry?
Maybe England will amble through to the final just winning games like Greece did.
Well, you can only beat the team opposing you at the time you’re playing. Not that we’ve conclusively achieved that here yet.
Awesome Pickford and top quality with the bollocking that followed
Not that we’ve conclusively achieved that here yet.
You have. Sweden are muck.
You have. Sweden are muck.
Im sure Japan thought they were through 2-0 not so long ago...
Don't want to be picky, but surely Kane should be on the end of all these crosses that Trippier (best player in the team BTW) puts in?
stop trying to add drama, this has been a forgone conclusion since the first went in! 😆 enjoy the semi final!
Going well then 🤪

as I’d said previously, I’m a Bolton and England fan. I’ve become accustomed to losing matches from the most ludicrous of positions
Well I think that summed up Sweden.
28 years ago as an 11 year old I watched the last time England made a world cup semi final, got to hope that this lot can go just that little bit further
Just wish that Sir Bobby could have been there to see it
England have answered each question they have been asked.
Fantastic result ..so why do I feel a little flat..
My forecast for next rounds:
Quarter-final stage:
Uruguay will beat France by 2 goals. (France won 2 nil instead)
Belgium will beat Brazil by 1 goal. (Spot on!)
England will beat Sweden by 1 goal. (Almost spot on England won by 2 goals instead. 😀 )
Croatia will beat Russia by 1 or 2 goals max.
Semi-final stage:
Belgium will beat France by 1 goal but maximum 2.
Croatia will beat England by 2 goals. (who knows England might win by 1 nil)
Final will be …
Belgium Vs Croatia ...
I think we stand a good chance to get to the final, but looking at the quality of yesterdays games we don't stand much chance of winning the thing outright.
Jordan Pickford had an absolute blinder. And Trippier is looking Beckham-esque with the crosses and corners
Wrong !
Edit ..that in response to Chewks predictions
If England can beat Croatia/Russia England will win the World Cup.
Second time round Belgium will be a walk over ... 😀
so whom would we like to face in the semi's ? or just go by form and get the weakest (russia it is then 😉 )
I predict Russia to do a Greece and win the thing. That from a Scotsman who put money on England, and Belgium 😆
so whom would we like to face in the semi’s ?
Doesn't matter, they will control the game and win.

Better to play Russia as Croatia is very good ... so far ...
Better to play Belgium then France in the final.
Wrong !

I hope England will go all the way to win ... me mates are counting on me for their bets ... 😀
Not really worried who we play ..but I've a sneaky feeling it will be Russia ..

Well your mates are idiots.
Solid, professional performance.
Can't really judge how well we'd perform against better sides based on this but I think we've got enough to beat Croatia. It should be our hardest game by a wide margin though and I really hope we look for some more decisive passes in the last third.

They might rugby tackle Croatia as they want to look good at home ... 😀
Well your mates are idiots.
They have won 80% of their bets so far since the start of World Cup ... 😀
For the match between England and Sweden, me mates only needed one goal from England to win their bets. Draw mean me mates loss.
The betting format at home is about goal difference and not about the exact scoreline.
Maybe I'm just agreeing with the lads on MOTD here but Henderson has been awesome there in the middle, very happy he got away with that yellow card hanging over him
Trippier has been one of Englands best players of the tournament so far
Maguire for me ..and I really thought that Lascelles deserved a chance based on what I had seen of Maguire ..
I was wrong ..
Well, that was almost... Comfortable , its an odd feeling, it must be what it's like to support Germany 🤣😂

yeah it was rather....not the usual emotions for sure, long may it continue!
Exactly what I was after, you can take your exciting football I'll take winning

aye ultimately that's it.
Anyhoo, c'mon croatia, bring up my double now and kill my jinxy run! 😆
