Just saw the goal. Would it have been saved with no man on the post, contrary to the advice of all pundits?

No. Pickford wouldn't have got to it. A taller player on the post would have got it over the bar. And what was Trippier holding onto the post for?

charolais0153

Falcao will score

blueser

Good luck Jordan.

blueser

Good pk there.

FourFourRED

Falcao

charolais0153

Picking it out of the net?

Sprinter Sacre

Rashford looked nervous but what a penalty

blueser

You knew he'd miss it.

Vicxas

Could see Henderson missing that a mile away

FourFourRED

It’s coming home!

blueser

YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sprinter Sacre

England winning on spotters you what mate?

Lukker-

Pickford was well off his line for the save.

FourFourRED

Won’t be seeing Hendo taking one again anytime soon. Bottler.

he deserves a slap for that....he's not ****in Pirlo..just blast it down the middle you numbnuts

niallo27

Why didn't vardy take one. He did finish the game didn't he.

Cantona's Collars

"England are contenders again". Ah lads.

Not sure Dier actually struck that properly. Doesn't matter anyway

Turtyturd

Pathetic weak hand from Ospina.

eigrod

Strange that Vardy wasn’t one of the 5

Did everyone forget that he needs 4 touches of the ball before doing anything with it.

Why is he a bottler, he stepped up when others wouldn't.

blueser

To those on here that wished England well; thanks fellas. It is appreciated.

He hadn't the balls for it id say.

Exactly, where was Vardy?

Henderson had a good game tonight, seeing Dier play shows how much he brings to the team

The Talking Bread

Why didn't Vardy take a penalty?

Worrying the way they sat back,but that's a massive win psychologically !

Ugh. Ruining the tournament.

Croatia struggled much more against a much worse side.

There's nobody outstanding in their side of the draw.

They're probably around second or third favourites given who everyone else has to get past.

Henderson was certainly in top 2 or 3 of England’s best players. Did the job he’s in there to do very well.

I don't get the impression Vardy hasn't the balls for a penalty. And he is an excellent PK taker. Very odd

Paully D

Nice for Pickford to have that moment after the silly abuse he received after the Belgium game.

AdpRo

Vardy was very slow running over to celebrate, i reckon he was injured.

We won't go much further; it's a limited side. But let us enjoy tonight. England shootout wins are like decent summers; bloody rare.

There's agendas at play here so you might not get full agreement there!!

I think he's done well. Plus criticising him for missing a pen is silly.

machiavellianme

That was an absolutely dire game for the neutral.
I'm annoyed that I stuck it out but wanted to see if England had any ideas other than rely on set pieces. Sadly not tonight, but maybe the next one.

Pickford talking himself up there :pac:

Small man syndrome?

So are Sweden

I think England would be better suited to playing a team that will attack them

Saturday is going to be a slog but nothing to fear from Sweden

DeanAustin

Balls of steel from Dier to be fair. He was terrible against Belgium and was awful when he came on tonight. Was certain he’d miss it. Great penalty.

Ohmeha

England did deserve it over the 120 despite not being impressive happy for them

They are limited like the other teams in their half of the draw, England have nothing to fear from now on could make them dangerous

You’ll almost certainly make the final.

Put the bottle down fella, you've had enough for tonight.

I hope they do but that’s a massive assumption. Sweden are decent and Croatia are a better side than England.

Really hope they do it. Had them pegged for the last 16 or quarters at best but they can beat Sweden.

Ferris_Bueller

Raging, really thought Colombia would win it once Henderson missed his penalty. In fairness to England they deserved their win and Colombia were dreadful in normal time, some great penalties from England and amazing save from Pickford. It is probably the least unlikeable team England have had in my lifetime but I still would be sickened to see them win it, I fancy them to get to the final now though!

We may well be facing France or Brazil in the semi final (if we get there). That sort of performance again would not be good enough against either of them.
