[Football] The Official Match Thread: England v Colombia

[TomandJerry]

Come on England!

 

[Gary Leeds]

I may be in the minority here but I want Columbia to win as they have one of our own in the squad. Club over country every time in my mind

Sure. But Colombia beating us doesn't actually help our club at all.

Personally, I want to see a close up of Jose crying at the end of the match!

 

[pasty]

England win but an Izzy wonder consolation goal in the last minute please.

You're in a minority because you've got club over country wrong.

If you are club over country; you want our star winger on a beach having a break then back at Lancing ASAP. What on earth does our club gain from him remaining at the tournament for longer?

 

[Stat Brother]

The reaction from them up the road would take the edge off England going out at the hands (feet) of Jose.


Barney Ronay did ask:-

'With this World Cup falling into England's lap, should we rest the first team in readiness for Euro 2020'?

You certainly are. Who are Columbia laying, anyway?

 

[Weststander]

England have two great attacking strengths these days - pace on the counter and an array of great headers at set pieces.

Still a bit of suspect defence and goalie. Would like to see more use of the hoof clearance at times, rather than titting about gifting chances.

Barry Glendenning has had a massive sense-of-humour bypass over the whole "it's coming home" thing. It's clearly for the vast majority a very tongue in cheek attitude, based on seeing so many years of failure.

4-2 then.

Unlikely as Joe Hart isn't in goal.

 

[DFL JCL]

big game, ultimately defines whether this world cup has been a failure for England or not.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

An addition bundle of cash, from the FIFA player participation fund?

 

[theroyal]

I am more nervous about this one than I think I would be about the quarter finals. Weird.

More than happy for Izzy to score (an own goal).

 

[Dick Head]

Will that cover a new winger if he gets injured?

 

[Two Professors]

At a guess,plenty like this!

 

[Thunder Bolt]

You beat me to it, as I'm just listening to it now.
