It is worth noted that England hasn’t scored a goal from open play for 2 games in a row.

Penalties and corners, the cornerstone of long term success against top quality opposition. Have they scored from open play against anyone other than Panama?

i was actually kind of rooting for england. like 1% :lol:

seriously this world cup is farce. straight up. all the cool countries are out, or not even in it. :pokerface:

also, senegal not advancing because of yellows is tragic. for once there was an african country with some firepower and decent talent on and off the pitch and they get send home because a demented ref gave them to many yellows. overal; not impressed, pretty damn boring.

also, the final will be between croatia and brazil. remember where you heard it first !

Pekerman fucked up. We could have won this but he decided to play 3 Dms. This was a chance of a life time to get far in the World Cup and he blew it. We should have played how we did against Poland.

I even considered corners as open play, but England would have lost today had there been no penalty.

England is also the only remaining team that has conceded goals in every matches. That means they would have to outscore their opponents by scoring 2 or 3 goals. Sweden has conceded only against Germany so far.

I think Sweden will break down this English side, which has looked dreadful in 3 of 4 games now.

Funny thing lots of people here cheers for Croatia and don't know how hilarious were media here.Annoying as hell.English media is nothing compared to the media here.If they write in English you will hate this team so much.As I hate them.Because of corrupted people and mafia in Croatian Football Federation,thieves on the field,disgusting media and moral scum here in Croatia who support crime in football and this country.Actually,this NT is pure trash as one of this Godzilla vs. Megalon or something movies.


If you lived in the UK you would understand the horrible horrible coverage the England team get. Spending knockout ties pre and half time coverage watching the team play ping pong rather than covering the game in hand, moaning constantly about diving players in other teams yet two of their own try to cheat to get penalties, they say nothing. Presuming they are better than Columbia, Sweden’s, Croatia etc despite having a worse WC record than all of them in recent times. Just basically looking down their nose at everyone, along with their moronic fans who only know Ronaldo and Messi outside of ‘da best league in da wurlllddd’. Thanks Columbia for making the next 4 days and potentially longer nigh on unbearable.

It is sad honestly to see you hate your NT that much. No other FA is more corrupted than Indonesian FA. They were even banned from international competition for few years by FIFA due to corruption issue. Yet, Indonesians still support their countrymen to the fullest.
Indonesian players stole money from his own club (one of two most popular in Croatia) with mafia boss and then lied about that on the court?I dont think so.And now,how can anybody cheer for this kind of people.They do not represent my country,it's not my NT.And this is just one of hundred examples.But yeah,its sad situation.

Lmao Failcao crying about the ref and how he "naturally favoured England because he's American and speaks English"... :lol:

Every fucking ref would have spoken English and I don't think he favoured England, in fact he helped Colombia by not giving them a well deserved red card on multiple occasions. Colombia screwed themselves by playing anti football while that was totally unnecessary.

Deserved win for England. Now I reeeaally want to see Sweden make it to the semis.

Yeah,first chance for Colombia in 81.min.England was excellent in defensive transition and they make zero dangerous situations on counter attack.Also,that jumping around referee was annoying as face of that Juve cunt.

Nah,I said that before a week.Hope I'm wrong.

Probably not, Brazil doesn't have enough EPL players.

Players like Fagner will be outright destroyed by Sterling.

I'm glad us fellow Brazilians can discuss the nature of these matches, due to the fact we're both from a World Cup-winning country. Otherwise we'd be banned from the forums.

How was Baccas goal disallowed?

The corner that he English player did. was a goal kick.

The ref wasn’t ready for a game like that. I mostly blame the coach for the shit formation he went out with
