Just bet on red card at 8/5....

If England get another to finish things it could get very ugly.

Loving it. Hope there's a 11 v 11 brawl :pac:

It is bound to kick of at the end, in which case it will be 25 on 25 :pac:

Agreed. And they have a farcical run of games. And people are saying Russia have it handy.

It's not Englands fault though the rest of the teams have been ****.

Good bet!

Stupid by Lingard there. If we don't get drawn into a battle out there, we've got a good chance.

gimli2112

6 yellows and it's hardly been a dirty game, feels like it could really kick off any second

They have not risen to it for the most part, Columbia don't look like scoring.

Maguire was a dive, definitely. Two red cards? The Colombian and Henderson?

Stones.

Agreed. We can only look after our own business. Anything else is out of our control.

No way. Stones was accidental.

I presume his English.

Even allowing for Sunday, Croatia still look the quality team on this side of the draw.

StringerBell

Cuadrado is some sham

Lad? It's a long time since I was a lad.

Correct. Born in and spent my first 20 years in Manchester. Parents were Irish.

FixdePitchmark

Quadrado not having his best game - but best player on pitch by miles.

Would have been a different game with Rodríguez

StringerBell

Lingard should be off I think?

Already been booked, a dive there no?

Turtyturd

Not sure if Lingard bottled that or he’s that bad.

After the weekend; France.

Colombia starting to play football 78 mins too late

I thought Quintero has been the best Columbian from what I have seen.

Linggard should be off

They're on the other side with Brazil.

blueser

Not enough in that Lingard tackle. Don't think he dived though.

FixdePitchmark

Was thinking Sterling would have a good game

He is more like Liverpool Sterling tonight - terrible.

Apologies. I was thinking of the whole tournament, not just the English half of the draw. Not careful enough reading the post I replied to.

I think he has been like that for all of his World Cup performances, will be interesting to see if Southgate still sticks with him if they get through tonight.

Brexit Sterling. .

Massive let off there.

FourFourRED

Great chance. Absolutely fluffed it

Utopia Parkway

Oh Cuadrado that was dreadful.

StringerBell

And again, cuadrado is a sham

raiders11

ffs, what a chance

FixdePitchmark

Was just going to type - has this England team the bottle to hold out.

Type of game England would have ****ed up in the past.

Then that happened.


Good test for them

Billy86

Guy on his phone in the crowd on the replay has to be a meme.

StringerBell

That was probably it, can't really see this shower of plodders creating another great chance like that

An Ciarraioch

If this is the final result, England's three World Cup knockout wins since 1990 will all have come against South American teams.

FixdePitchmark

Typically like Columbia - they were a disgrace tonight.

eigrod

England’s game is almost entirely centred on set pieces.

They beat Denmark in the last 16 in 2002.

FourFourRED

Would have been a great game if they played like this from the start!

blueser

We need that second goal to take the Sting out of Colombia. Plus, there could be a fair chunk of injury time.

Utopia Parkway

Should be about 10 minutes injury time after all the messing about.

PhilipsR

Perfect game for Vardy. Be just as useful as Sterling anyways at this point.

pjohnson

Colombia are such a one man team. When James was injured they should have just gone home. Has any team been worse than this?

blueser

Vardy on for the ruck at FT!

machiavellianme

This is a contender for worst game of the tournament. Absolutely wretched from both teams.
