    Best side won at least, they had a chance on 82 mins, scored a late equaliser, fair enough. England while not exactly great were solid and steady. ET and pens become a bit of a lottery.
    We are through and it doesnt matter how you do it.
    Come on England.

    I don't think I'll watch the next one. I'm a bag of nerves and depression unless we are 3-0 up

    It was Ron's reverse physcology posts wot won it <laugh><laugh>. To be fair we thoroughly deserved the win. World beaters we certainly are not but brilliant for the manager and his team. As for Columbia that Rodriquez must be Pele, Maradona, Best, Messi and Ronaldo all rolled into one to make that shower of ****e a decent outfit. Cycnical bunch of ****ers. Good riddance.

    Well done England-Glad you went through as you were the better side-Columbia very average and cynical fouling drove me nuts.Dont get to cocky now though, you still have to beat the Swedes!

    That was terrifying, should have wrapped it up but we decided that 1 nil would suffice.

    Come on now beat the Swedish.

    Agree 100%, the Swedes are their usual mobile brick wall. Very very difficult side to beat.

    Well, the guys down here seem pretty damn happy for us, must say! Their compliments seem to me very genuine.

    We should just go out and play our game against Sweden. We were (naturally, given the occasion) quite reserved tonight. We need to strut our stuff more against Sweden. Time to stop the Sterling experiment and finally start with Rashford. Deli Alli didn’t look fit tonight, has something to prove now.

    But, my fine boys, WE ARE STILL IN IT !!!

    The quarter finals look very straight forward:

    France will beat Uruguay as they have sufficient attacking options against an opponent who only appear to have two. I think they will be playing a semi-final against their neighbours, Belgium, because most of the interest in the current Brazil team seems to concern Neymar’s efforts to win the Best Actor in a Leading Role award; and I would rather side with the European’s goalkeeper and defenders. The media keep peddling nonsense about how Brazil are only playing in second gear but there is no evidence that they are not stuck in it.

    FIFA swapped the designation of the other quarter finals so that if the hosts make the semi-final they will be the home team; however, I think the Russian dream will be ended by Croatia. They rode their luck against Denmark but their quality players will tell here although it may go beyond ninety minutes – Vladimir will be in the VAR booth! Sweden play a totally conventional 4-4-2 and lack any dynamism, so it will be England visiting the Lizhniki, trying to book a return visit four days later.
