Brazil comfortably saw off the Mecicanos.
The Japanese put up a sterling fight against the Belgians, just falling short at the last.
Sweden vs the Swiss is as hard to call as the England game. Any of the 4 teams could end up in the semis.
Colombia have suddenly become a great team since qualification for the round of 16 ………….. equals England fans preparing themselves in case the national side let us all down.
However, I detect a new confidence amongst Gareth’s boys. Should be interesting!
Cheers Chas
Still trying to work out Eddie’s Shakespearean revenge comment
Anyhow, will give the first game a swerve in order to be football fresh for this evening
It was certainly a Shakespearean tragedy for the Japanese.
Was Hacksaw Ridge that one where the big-eared Conscientious Objector saved all those fellow soldiers with a rope?
is miki’s micky out???
revenge is a dish best served cold. Germany, Italy and Japan out of the world cup. that will learn them to attack the allies
Gareth is a top block. Everyone loves him. Waistcoats are flying off the shelves, all want to look smart and the part π
i wish the lads well, I am sure they can do it!!
Ooops, missed the morning action.
10 mins before crypto Skype to understand Eddie, cold served revenge, the war and Shakespreare π
ha ha, love the idea of a whole nation trying to look like Southgate.
30 deprees and the must have waistcoat and tie π
micky- do you want me to draw a picture?
did you watch bbc news this morning? female presenter was wearing a waistcoat π looked good
– Hope England and Switzerland win today
– Sokartis announced as an Arsenal player yesterday
– Luca Torreira still pending
– Nzonzi asking to move to Arsenal
– Mahrez to City together with Jorginho (Napoli)
– Martial to Bayern Munich as Bayern looks for Robben replacement and add options upfront. They could line up Coman – Rodriguez – Martial in support of Lewandowski in a 4-2-3-1.
A fellow marker…… not only a waistcoat but a top hat too.
I’m sure you approve Micky? βΊ
Gareth in a top hat on the touchline. Now that would be something!
Chambers extends stay at Arsenal after signing long-term deal
Sokratis is arriving
What does that mean for Mustafi? Or will Chambers play as DM?
CBs: Mustafi, Koscielny, Sokratis, Chambers, Holding, Mavropanos
Knowing that Monreal can also play as LCB
π β It’s more than just a number. Means a lot to me wearing it next season! Thanks, @arsenal ππΌγ½ #YaGunnersYa #M1Γ https://t.co/M7ZTtMdirb
No I do not approve, Chas. It’s the mark of totalitarian rule π
Wow Fred, that is an ice cool shirt for Mesut.
number 10 with umlauts, I love it
The boys are back at Colney! π

Sweden are laborious and horrible to watch. Forsburg has not done a damn thing to be hearing all this clamor for this guy-Shaqiri was not any better. Good with England through, but Colombia are better to watch too. Any team other than Brazil to win it all would work for me.
Anyone?
The pic of Sterling with his bugger grips looks like something from the Arsenal Gentleman
Don’t know whether or not to make an incredibly intelligent footbally comment or not
Not a cracker
Bring on Jack or su’ink π
Tense 1st half, with England having the better of chances. Just wondering if this coward ref will call anything? The guy choking Sterling 2X and one time throwing him to ground in box and no call… WTH? This coming from a guy who has a serious dislike for Sterling as he plays for the wrong squad.
See if England can knock one in.
I hope there is a fight π
There it IS!
π
Come on England, let’s really wind them up now
he he he, if I was playing I’d be having a word with any of the Columbian players on a yellow about their mothers or sisters
Like to see that Pickford save again
As long as England win, I’m now quite enjoying this, so don’t mind a bit more
Where are you based Aaron?
US californiA.
Pickford save was the very very good. Too bad they did not box out but then again a great goal for the other team.
England has to suck it up and use there tight passing to just get one pass through to Vardy-should be enough.
CA, wow, very nice
some would disagree.lol
England needs to go wide, not through the middle.
Ok, it’s a big state with some less good bits but…I know the good bits are awesome
Be interesting whether either side really go for the win
Well, am in Bay Area, weather is perfect and I surf, ride and hike- a paradise for my family.
surf eh? Long or short board
strictly long for me being an old git
england going for it
Older git, but been a short, and medium board guy my whole life. Will if really small will longboard.
England are going for it is second half.
Man, typo’s. For it and in..sheesh
brilliant
I started too late in life to ever be a short boarder. Leave that flash shit up to my son π
Pickford looks confident
but short π¦
Woo Hoo!
Pickford, and all the very good penalty takers!!
at last, a win on pens
superb
good chatting Aaron
must go
Enjoy your afternoon!
Well, I thought that was awful.
Shocking game of football.
The prospect of the Colombians completely losing their rags was the only thing that made it interesting.
Just dreadful.
Anyone fancy writing a couple of lines about how we’re going to win the whole competition?
Morning Chas
Agree. Worst game I’ve seen and only warmed up towards the end with the tension any extra time/pens a knockout tournament always has
Zero chance England winning, so no on that subject. Well, I suppose they could fluke it.
they can fluke it, because they believe they can fluke it.
It was a rubbish game, i didn’t fall asleep but in hindsight I probably should
MOTD Pickford.
That fingertip save was unreal. Save of the tournament (that I’ve seen)
Chas
If I pen a WC Feelings so far, can you post it. I know you’re at work, so forget the pics, but I can’t do it until after 9, so maybe too late
“shit a brick”
The moment you realise 50% of all comments were by one person and that person was you
Not good. Not healthy
POST SENT
Well done England – extra stress for nothing but in the end, a win is a win
Sweden will be a bit less nasty to play so I expect a lot more from Sterling, Alli and Lingard.
I like Maguire – he is a real rock at the back.
Beat Sweden to earn a chance to dream
We will have it rough and tough against Uruguay
What are your guys views on the penalty can was given,
Mine is a thought it was a horrible call and they keep giving England these ridiculous calls in the penalty box
The Columbian guy is stupid – he gets reprimanded by the ref a minute before. Kane plays it well but it is a foul in my opinion and the PK was awarded fairly
Ok agreed with Kane playing it well but thought that would have been obvious to the referee
Stop trying to denigrate our majestic victory, Fred.
Just because your part of the world is shite. π
Soz, Micky, by the time I saw your comment about a post, it was too late.
On the plus side, we now have a post for tomorrow. π
Might try to find some relevant (for relevant read – completely meaningless and pointless) pictures – especially for your last point.
Hell, I’m so out of touch, I didn’t even know this had happened!
