[monster09]

Pickford had a great world cup.

Sweden is shit. Them in the QFs instead of Germany is a mystery.

I'm not questioning how good Greece was, but you can't deny teams like Italy/Germany being knocked out early, was a deciding factor in them winning.

Yes, Greece was lucky that some major teams were out or in the other side. But the Czechs were very strong that year (semi finalists) and Greece, well, in the 90-105th minutes, deserved the win In the proper 90 minutes one could argue that Greece got lucky.
And Greece took out France and didn't lose to Spain in the group (who were eliminated by a last game Portugal loss).
Beating that Portugal twice was not a simple feat either.

The Dutch were also very strong then, lost in the semis iirc, but also lost to the Czechs in the group.
But both Italy and Germany were poor in that tournament. Germany couldn't even beat Latvia.

Grande Pickford

Any of these two in the World Cup semis is a mockery of the sport. Think that Uruguay and Brazil went home yesterday.

 

[Devious]

The English now: Pickford is the best human GK in the world

Harry Maguire has more goals in the knockout stages of this World Cup than Messi and Ronaldo combined in all their career.

Even amidst all the glitz and the glamour, it's clear who the true legends are <3.

 

[Ed.]

The quarter finals have been game of the goalkeepers.

 

[Fapuccino]

A Swedish guy named Berg? No wonder England got everything.

 

[Ed.]

How were those not yellow cards?

Sterling and Young should have been booked.

 

[Mino]

wew lads, a France-England or a Belgium-England final would be epic.

especially the latter

 

[Ed.]

And their meeting in Russia. Lol.

 

[Devious]

It's coming home baby

 

[Il Drago]

First world cup semifinal for England since 1990.

 

[YoramG]

To be fair, it is coming home.

 

[Irequis]

Sweden's strategy in this world cup is by dragging their opponent's level down to their level and then beat them with experience.
Unfortunately, England have more experience in being mediocre than Sweden.

 

[ScottishInterista]

Fuck this.

 

[ElDuccio]

England back in the semifinals after Italia 90

for those people who was cheering for Sweden:

 

[SiamoNoi]

England will win 3-0 anyway. And there aren't any excuses, no clue who you're replying to.

Weak opponents is not excuses?

Da fuq was that? The offside call was called very late. Did they wait to see if England scores = goal, if not = offside?

You dont know for a new "rule"?

I've seen that a lot this world cup. I think some linesman are afraid to make the wrong call so they do nothing trusting VAR to correct it.

They are not afraid.It's a instructions they have got.
