Colombia v England - last 16 round - 03/07 at 19:00ko

[Webbo]

We had a power cut in the second half of extra time, desperately searching for some batteries for the radio. I was going mad  .

[whoareyaaa]

I aint had a drink since half time, mouths like sandpaper can sit back and relax now and bathe in the glory of that Pickford save

Sounds Geordie so pretty much Scottish 

Come on, now. They're bred specially to keep the Scots out.

[AS78UK]

Am I the only one that thought Puckford looked crap at the penalties. 1 decent save, but from a poor penalty. 

 

Vardy played well in the final 15 mins though.  

[trabuch]

Pickford is the hero. Dier nearly cost us the match. Maguire MOTM.

Poor performance, but the boys showed a strong mentally.

 

Need to find a way to score from open play.

 

Game against Sweden, could be a dull one.

I'm calling it now - the Sweden game is going to be appalling 

[foxes_rule1978]

Didn’t really see the Pickford save just it didn’t go in and then complete utter joy watching it on the re-run it is a very good stop

Phew 

 

On reflection, we created nothing from open play, and we've created very little in our other games either. If we get to the final we're the spawniest bastards ever, I don't care. come on England.

Yep, we're unspontaneous. Also interesting that the potential golden boot winner has scored most of his goals from penalties and set pieces.

[fazzyfox]

Trippier really has arrived under the fazzyfox radar, fair play to him he's one of our most reliable players and scored a great penalty. As for Maguire, I'd love to know what the foreign commentators and panelists are making of him. We're proud of you Harry, bring home a medal!

[iamafox]

Honestly thought England were going to choke again, but hats off to them for never giving up

Hopefully he has exited this thread 

 

Past time for me to do the same. 

[TeePee]

We won ugly against a team trying to spoil, a referee that wasn't having a good game, and despite a heart-breaking late equaliser, we gutted through it and won on penalties.

 

The least English performance ever, and I'm bloody loving it.

It was outstanding. They’ll be showing that for years to come..

Yes, the three that were scored were excellent penalties.

Forget the fight from these lads and the heart shown, not seem that from an England team for a long long time 

[oxtonfox]

Well this lot have done better than the so called golden generation who couldn’t score pens. Well done lads. Sweden will be a grind fest. 

[Sir Shep]

Anyway, enough about penalties, let’s go back to the love train.... 

[Kitchandro]

Can’t complain about drama in this tournament.

 

I’m assuming there’s a reasonable explanation for Vardy not taking one.

 

Surely Southgate doesn’t consider the others bar Kane better penalty takers than him.

Southgate knows what he is doing resulted in the penalty

The penalties he conceded were fantastic. Much better than anything the keepers last night were saving.

Without speaking for everyone else, I'd imagine so. Not everyone is Kasper's level.

Don't worry - I'm sure he won't want to hang around after that.

[Wolfox]

Very spursy that penalty shoot out 

[Silva Fox]

So proud and pleased for Harry. If we can keep hold of him that will be the best business we do this summer.
