Colombia defending corners well

Same old same old, other sides  let us run round for 1/2 an hour and tire, then start playing football.

What is Dele Alli doing in this game? ? ?

[MC Prussian]

Looking at the pace and energy burnt, I'm not sure Colombia can keep this up for 90+ minutes. Amazing workrates!

 

Arias runs for two. And his team mates, as well.

Maguire is a future Leicester and England captain

[Col city fan]

Our build up has gone to being incredibly slow again.

We’re a bit basic at creating chances from open play and tbf that’s been the case the whole tournament bar the Panama match. 

 

eh, we scored one goal from open play against Panama.

[Finnegan]

On an unrelated note, even if you win nothing else, Kane, Maguire, Lingard,and Pickford must surely guarantee you're the ugliest team in the tournament. 

[Brooksy]

That touch from Sterling. Get him off

[Sir Shep]

Kane seems to be quite deep tonight.

Christ ! We really are reliant on set pieces eh. Missing that creative spark, maybe Maddison can solve that issue in a couple years time .. 

[coolhandfox]

Alli, Lingard and Sterling anonymous....

I’m trying desperately hard not to lose my rag with Sterling already.

He has shown some very quick feet it's just when the spherical leathery thing becomes involved in the equation that he struggles

[BlueSi13]

I'm telling you now we are going no further in this tournament or as a team if All and Sterling continue to consistenly lose the football in the final third.

[Nalis]

Thought that was going to be the moment

I just wonder if he’ll end up being one of these players who just can’t do it for England. The game is littered with players who just couldn’t replicate their club form at international level. No doubt he’s a talent but he rarely shows it in an England shirt.

Hope not, he's probably our most naturally gifted player next to Kane.

 

I do wonder how the media attacking him over tatoogate has affected him though.

Sterling touch is poor.

I'd like to see the stats - but I'm sure he's received the ball most from Maguire so far.

Yeah sorry, I overlooked the enormous contribution of Kyle Walker.

Game tailor made for James Vardy...
