Our only world class player and he genuinely has reached that level in the past couple of years. Incredible.
I made a comment during last night's match that watching him is like watching SRL playing for Saints, he always does the right thing on the pitch.
"I'm just sorry for the whole Colombian people," Maradona said. "I cheered Colombia's goal as if I had handled it myself."
Funny thing just happened to me. I live in a close and was putting the bin out and there was a Police Car outside. They wound down their window and said "Excuse me, you haven't heard any shouting have you" I paused, looked at them deadpan and said "Come to think of it there was a lot of shouting last night" It took a few seconds to register what I was on about....
I’m still buzzing! What a night. This means so much after years of pain. Please please please please can we beat Sweden. Quick turnaround for the team following a long and draining match, physically and mentally. It’s going to be tough.
Yep 100%. This team has got me dreaming now. Can you imagine being in a WC semi again? I think the country would come to a standstill next Weds if that happens... EDIT: It's Coming Home
I was 1 years old the last time England got to a World Cup Semi final! Even to be in the quarters is special. Great chance to progress to the semis, but Sweden are a bit of a bogey team for us and they won’t be push overs. Our mentality going into this game is key. Come on England. I’m dreaming of an open top bus in London.
...I was nearly 21 Unfortunately, I was on holiday in the US at the time for a month visiting relatives. I watched it on some dodgy Spanish cable channel. However, there is only one language in Football, and was still devastated.
Judging by the reactions of everyone so far they'll probably get an open top bus even if they lose to Sweden. If they make the semis will probably all be knighted
Blimey. If you’d been around then, I reckon you’d be even more excited now ... if that’s possible It was incredible and since that day, every World Cup I start by saying, “Please just give me that again, then I’ll take it one game at a time!” #ich
England could win the World Cup on July 15th …… (in athletics as a part of Team GB in the 8 Nation World Cup)
