7 miles up, England's penalty shoot out result announced to passengers: Apologies to tormented Scot's on board the flight.

Has always been the way, very British. Has applied to many sports persons - Kane, Gazza, Hamilton, Botham, Froome, Joshua, Hamed, Radcliffe, Andy Murray. A very noisy and spiteful minority who want these sporting/personal world's to collapse. In countries such as Sweden, every successful...

Agreed. We have to respect his wide knowledge and his work with all the England age groups. He was determined to play this and it works. Defensively Pickford has barely faced any shots on target for example. Offensively, Stones or Maguire have licence to get attacks under way.

Agreed, and is clearly miles better than Tarkowski, Mee and Mawson.

On Radio 5Live's WC phone in with Robbie Savage. A few (definitely English) callers, rubbishing Kane's WC on a couple of grounds: 1. His alleged lack of pace is holding the team back. 2. His goal tally is a farce because it's mostly pens. Unfair should he win the Golden Boot. Absolute...

Fair point. You would have been astonished by the 5live phone in the last hour. Call after call from Englishmen (definitely not Scots!) slagging off Kane (no pace, lack of non-pen goals, etc) and England's WC showing in general.

Exaggerating. Colombia's players are with top clubs such as Juve. Our play and threats, put them on the back foot, and drew the antics/violence. That stopped all fluidity, as with many WC2018 games where one team wants to destroy the flow. Do agree that dribbling flopped tonight. The...

Crikey, he was a long way off his line.

Damn it.

Yes. Reacted brilliantly with a great strong arm. Kept one foot on the line as the kick was taken, so his movement outwards was legal.

Southgate's son had a Maguire named England shirt. Recognition of Maguire's class.

Other than Kane. Lingard, Alli and Sterling shirley can't all play indifferently again?

The stretched game with acres for him to counter attack into, just doesn't seem to happen with tired England performances late on. He'd loved the Japanese naivity last night.

Don't apologise, I agree with you. But I get the impression there's a lot of arrogance there.

Cock Tyldesley will have to save his Russian Roulette cliches for another time.

France and Belgium, navel gazing, think they're out of this World.

Sweden and Russia did far less than us, barely playing attacking football. We deserve our place, against a set of snides.

This. I definitely would not play Vardy as a starter.

So much adrenaline, it will be hard to sleep tonight. And that's just the sofa based fans.

I thought we still played well until ten minutes to go. After our goal, they lost their heads for 20 odd minutes.
