    Scandalous not to give that pen to spain in extra time. VAR people totally bottled it. World cup can go and **** itself!

    Completing 1000+ passes w/o scoring a goal is also a complete waste of fecking time.

    Another shock and a big team goes out.
    Let's hope Columbia don't add us to that list.

    Spain shouldn’t need a possible penalty to beat Russia! Thought they were rubbish andceeserved to go out.

    We've got a real shot of getting to the final now. If we beat Columbia it's the Swiss or the Swedish in the quatrers and either Russa, Croatia or Danmark in the Semi's

    If Croatia go out here, you have to fancy the winners of us and Colombia to make it to the final.

    France must be licking their lips. Would say they're the clear favourites at this point.

    Never been a better year for England to make a run at it mind.

    I've got it between Brazil and France. Probably just Brazil at this point. This is the best opportunity we've had for as long as I can remember.

    It's got the feeling that absolutely anyone could do it. Neither France nor Brazil look unbeatable but I'd agree they're the teams to beat.

    Colombia is the key. Get past them we have a good shout of making the final. In a one off game against France or Brazil, who knows what might happen. Quite frankly, even if we do lose to Colombia, I’ve been impressed with this team and Southgate. It’s nice to have a bit of hope. Makes a change to the regular season!

    They are not "maybe thinking", they absolutely are. I have a friend from Medellin and they say that James is not not out if contention is a huge boost. They are at very dangerous team.

    Agree 100% mate. Whatever happens it’s been really refreshing and I’ve felt far more attached to the side.

    Let’s not kid ourselves that Colombia isn’t a huge challenge, if James is indeed out though that’s a huge boost. They have many top talents but he is the glue.

    If he plays, he’s not 100% and we should be giving him a bid of a rough ride early doors.

    It’s still France for me, showed that v the big nations they are a different beast.
