Round of 16: Colombia vs England

[TheBigIguana]

The better team won, simple as that.

On the day yes. The disappointing thing is that James makes it a lot more interesting. I feel for him having to miss out more than anything

Certainly agree. Was only talking about the two team’s performances.

Thought the Colombians were pretty disgraceful tonight, almost as bad as the Panamanians(sic), seemed like they decided that without James they weren't going to win by playing football.

I know a lot of us would like our lads to get in the referees face a bit more but I would hate it if we started using tactics like we saw tonight.

 

[COYBL25]

Pickford is our best player and England's best player. The doubters should really give up football as they clearly don't have a clue. No drama though, I'm ship at knitting, can;t all understand the beautiful game like me.

Harry Kane though

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Thought Sterling and Dele Alli were crap again. Neither are the most creative players to begin with, admittedly, but they really have to be performing better if England want to even hope of winning his tournament.

 

[Wayno]

Glad for Pickford , Everton, and The Eng.

Funny that the kopites aren’t even supporting their own country lol desperate to be miserable , those lot.

I haven't been in the thread too much but please tell me there aren't a lot of you adopting this kind of stance. England dived and complained and shithoused just as much. Enjoy it and stop trying to high horse these other countries when England long ago joined them

Of course England did it too but arguing about the penalty for 3 minutes? Ridiculous

Stop being silly.

Bed.

 

[RomanReigns]

the foul on lingard in the box should have been a pen imo

colombian guy clearly impeded our player who was clear through on goal

 

[Kenshin]

Thing with Columbia, they had some good players. Sanchez, falcao bakka, cuadrado the centre half etc

There was some good players in that team. It's only their tactic of trying to play dirty that really cost them.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Stop being silly.

Bed.

Mate.
Henderson play acting (probably a red letter of the law but he's Neymared it)
Maguire dive
Trippier had one where Muriel stepped a foot away from him and he jumped like he caught him
The general presence of Alli means diving is happening
Lingard in the second half
And Kane was falling every time he was touched late on to relieve pressure

It was. But given all the stuff England do I don't see them or their supporters being in any way arsed if they did something similar

 

[gonetomorrow]

England kept their heads in the face of considerable provocation tonight. They won't win the cup as they don't make enough chances and the defence is dodgy but good for them for eliminating the bad guys.

You may have had a point with a couple of those... but that is really reaching.
