I got to see about 20 minutes of football whilst screaming children clambered over me. Anyone that thinks they can stop me watching the Semi is mistaken.

How far you’ve come Dan. Was just revisiting the England v Tunisia threaded recall what the mood was at the start.

What you can say Cuenca, is that he constantly ties up the opposition defence's attention. They can't take their eyes off of him, for one second.Cuenca 'ammer wrote:Sorry mate I can't see it.....not at all......

Got back from my local 30mins or so back.
Went with my Brother, Sister-in-Law and Dad.
Unbelievable atmosphere. Tills were knackered so it was pretty much cheap beer all afternoon.
I haven't seen this sort of national unity behind an England team since 1996 or 1998.
I genuinely believe that we are going to win this.

Samba I'd watch him, but not put my best defensive player on him......
I know it's a risk, but one I would take considering how piss poor he is right now...not a goal threat at all...
But that's just me..if G.S. think it works, well he has my full support....G.S. that is, not Sterling..
:lol:

"We are the best in the world! We are the best in the world! We have beaten Sweden 2-0 in football!! It is completely unbelievable! We have beaten Sweden! Sweden, birthplace of cheap, flatpack furniture. Dolph Lundgren, Sven-Göran Eriksson, Björn Borg, Greta Garbo, Zlatan Ibrahimović, Ulrika Jonsson, Most of ABBA--we have beaten them all. We have beaten them all.

I genuinely felt my love for England died in 96, maybe 98. This feeling now - I really never felt I’d feel like this about the national team again.WCpete wrote:How far you’ve come Dan. Was just revisiting the England v Tunisia threaded recall what the mood was at the start. You’re a changed man.

Re: #59 Sweden v England - Quarter Finals ~ Match thread
Sterling's problems are a lack of ball control and a lack of footballing brain. Other than that it was an excellent team performance, although they should have got out wide quicker and attacked the fullbacks.
Southgate is so calm and it is refelecting in the team. Still feel there is a massive howler waiting in Pickford, Stones and Walker.
Maguire looking class.

Re: #59 Sweden v England - Quarter Finals ~ Match thread
Been many posters on this site for years mugging off England.
I don't like this player, I don't like him. FA bias. No West Ham. f*** em. Squad is rubbish. Why do I want those players to do well? etc etc
I am sure you are all puttibg that historic ambivalence to England behind you now
Come on England!

Re: #59 Sweden v England - Quarter Finals ~ Match thread
I am. I hated the Gerrard/Lampard years. Square pegs, under-delivery, suicidally cautious tactics.
Not this lot. They deserve every ounce of the support they’re getting. They’ve earned it. More than the wins, they’ve made us all happy again, that, and the weather.
WHAT a summer!

OK so this has now become the unofficial England song (Three Lions is probably best though)

Re: #59 Sweden v England - Quarter Finals ~ Match thread
This might be the beer talking but I've come to the wild unsubstantiated conclusion that Sterling, Lingaard and Alli are effectively our Ronaldo,
Sterling has the pace but not the final ball or finishing
Lingaard can pick a pass and hit the odd screamer
Alli makes the late runs into the box and can finish.
I think that's why Southgate doesn't change it because none of the options on the bench offer like for like and would unbalance the side.

Superb performance. Professionally despatched without a single f*** given.
Doesn't take much footballing nous to see what Sterling brings to this side and dropping him would be insane.
He does need to get his end product right, but I have a feeling it will come and when it does it won't be just the 1 goal.
My man of the match was Henderson. Guy was absolutely everywhere. Pickford and Maguire very, very close behind.
