[Football] The Official Match Thread: England v Colombia
- Thread starter TomandJerry
- Start date
The Scotland not qualifying ''back bite'' wears thin after a while. I am used to Scotland not qualifying after about 30 years of it.
Most Scots don't care. It just means that every time a World Cup comes around they have 31 chances of winning and next World Cup they will have 63 chances of winning
I could get at the least a very good holiday out of the winnings.
"James Rodriguez's injury is not serious and he could be fit to face England in the last 16 of the World Cup, says Colombia manager Jose Pekerman."
Not convinced their manager would be telling us that if he was ok to play.

We'll find out at about 6pm.
If they win the whole WC you mean? They're not going to do that anyway, so today's result won't affect your finances.
We might start well and lose, or start poorly and win. The football gods will make us suffer one way or another.
Yes.
Obviously that doesn't necessarily follow that a (potential) QF would turn out to be easier - any of the three sides COULD beat us.
But yes - from watching every one of the nine games they've played in so far, Colombia are the best side of the three.
Maybe not but the bet gave me a team to support
There really really won't be any more tears if we get knocked out in the semi-final. Before the WC started only the most optimistic thought we'd get that far. And in order to get there we'd have to win not one but TWO knockout games. That'll give us more than enough good memories for our tournament's highlights reel - especially given the low base we started from
It's been a constant niggle that keeps flaring up. It's not from the last game.

Like my Scots mate said when asked, 'who do you support ?'
His reply was, 'Scotland and anyone who is playing England'.
This can also back fire, I was in hospital after an accident years ago, the World Cup was on and it was when the Irish had their good cup run under Jack Charlton.
In the middle of the night a patient was brought in covered in blood, bashed to bits and unconscious.
Turns out it was a Scotsman who had decided to go to a bar to watch the game where England got knocked out, wearing the opposition's football shirt.
Not condoning it, but he's obviously not the sharpest tool.
When he was able to speak, or should I say mumble, I asked what possessed him and he said he did it for a joke, I don't think he would do it again somehow.

Oh ok, thanks. Sounds like he won't be ready then.
Although they won without him before.
But Colombia haven't faced anyone decent yet. Switzerland held Brazil to a draw, Sweden nearly beat Germany (Sweden showed they are capable of being negative and causing their own downfall) and Sweden stuffed a decent Mexican team.
Oh there would be more tears because the further England progress the more people would get to thinking winning is possible. And anyhow, I have said before. If it wasn't Colombia, I don't mind seeing England do well. Winning it then that's another matter for any Scotsman
