Russia World Cup 18

[RoboRiise]

Didn't think I'd see England go this far in a World Cup again so fair fucks.  I really hope it doesn't end up being Russia though.

[dockers_strike]

Cool. Cannot say fairer than that. Not the best performance but England deserved it more than Sweden. Roll on the semi final.

[Elite]

Very comfortable win. Going to be a lot tougher in the semi final though.

[niallers]

Did Henderson start with his thigh strapped?

[Dr Nowt]

I have been enjoying it. The build up to Wednesday is going to be wonderfully over the top, which is going to make the conclusion much sweeter.

Russia in a World Cup semi-final in Moscow, this year, has the potential to be the granddaddy of them all.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Them fit Swedish lasses in the crowd will need some consoling.

[Biscao]

Southgate did the right thing losing vs Belgium.

[Trumo]

England weren't that good but they didn't need to be, because Sweden were completely gash. A lot of Premier League matches look like this one. Still needed Pickford (and Hendo) to keep the ball out though, with a couple of excellent saves and a good last-ditch block. Up next, it's only England's third semi final in any competition in my lifetime.

[Red House]

No more Swedish birds, sniff.

[Kevin D]

Could you argue it would be funnier waiting until the final? Riskier, admittedly, but funnier.

 

I mean, imagine if Hazard, De Bruyne and co put six past them.

England being put out by a dodgy penalty against Russia, with Putin smiling in the stands is too much for me to turn down.

Pathetic.

[Strontium]

The butthurt from the anti-England mob is the best thing about this World Cup

[TheBitch]

When is that creature, May, gonna jump on the bandwagon? (Theresa not James)

[J-V]

Studge 7-0

 

I watched the wrong game.

[El Rojo]

Pathetic.

Agree. Putin will be in a special box, not up in the stand with regular fans.

The real winner today is aRdja. Made up for him.

It's a shame they don't have a proper nutter like Gazza in the squad, he'd probably fall down holding his throat and choking as a goal celebration or something.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

As a general rule of thumb, anything that makes Putin smile is bad for good people.

[Aventus]

Just realised we have 2 games to play either way.

 

3rd place play off Saturday

Or the final on Sunday.

[RoboRiise]

Agree. Putin will be in a special box, not up in the stand with regular fans.

 

He'll be bare-chested riding a bear up and down the touchline.

I've never got the point of lashing a pint everywhere, stuck in a fanzone on a boiling hot day with a 20 minute wait at the bar.

Which probably costs about 6 quid

[J-V]

Pickford Man of the match leave off.

Understanding the reality of it is beyond these simpletons.
