Hope he sits on the lead He will but Mbappe might save him on a counter.

Mbappe. Had time to even control it.

He hardly impacted the group stage though(Poland aside), he barely played against Japan and Senegal and it didn't stop people from believing they'd win. Also with how Colombia played i don't think it would have made a massive difference, James is a player who needs the ball and Colombia hardly had any of it in the final third for much of the game. Of course missing their star player changed everything for Colombia. There's just no way they would have played the defensive 4-3-2-1 if James was fit. Everything goes through him and having him fit and playing probably raises the confidence levels of others too.

You don't get the best keeper of the tournament for one performance. Alisson and Muslera have both conceded just one goal, Olsen has three clean sheets. Can't really put Pickford above Lloris, Courtois or Subasic either and I'm likely forgetting some obvious ones that have been knocked out. Pickford is up there and has a chance if he/England finish strong but it really isn't sewn up.

Keeper of the tournament for making a great save on a shot that might have gone wide and saving one penalty? Not a single clean sheet either despite questionable opponents. Sewn up imo.

Some ref might have sent off Henderson as he clearly saw his little headbutt ffs. Tried to google the incident but for some reason couldn't find anything mentioning it. If you still have access to the game, rewind to when the play clock is around 55.20.

Yup, that goal was all Lukaku despite him not touching the ball.

You’ll have a hard time breaking them down. Three lines of defenders on 4-4-2 sitting deep and they are great at set pieces on both ends.

Can’t believe they only showed one replay of that volley and it was from a shitty angle.

Southgate really fucked up this one.

If they f***ing love Kosovo so much, they had the chance to play for them and make them better. Instead Kosovo is still s***. Hlory hunting c***s. You can be proud of being from two nations Kosovo was recognised by FIFA in May 2016. Shaqiri made his international debut in 2010. Not going to wait for something that might never happen when he has dual nation eligibility. Again, you’re allowed to switch when a new nation is recognised by FIFA. How else would Kosovo have enough players to even field a team? Most of their current players represented other nations before. Players previously representing: 7 for Albania 1 for Switzerland 3 Germany U21 1 Sweden 5 Norway (3 U21 - 2 A-Team) 1 Austria all in their most recent squad. When you are an established member of another country that regularity qualifies for the big tournaments, you consider that nation home, you are not going to pull out of the squad on the eave of the European Championships to play for the country you are from, even though you haven't lived there for 20 years. No matter how passionate you are about your heritage. You can't change if you played an international game after the date the new administration was recognised by FIFA. Presume you're as strongly opposed to Sterling playing for England? Costa for Spain? No idea if you have any non Norwegian born players in your national team but I presume you are leading a vitriolic hate campaign against their involvement in the national team given how you're going on here. It's not about them playing for Switzerland though, it's about them being so passionate about Kosovo while playing for Switzerland.

HEADBUTT!!

Something needs to be done about the ref getting harassed, VAR has made it even worse.

He pushed Maguire in the back!

Completely different. There's no force in the Colombian players and he's not even using his forehead No force, side of the head to chest. Ridiculously stupid but IMO red would've been harsh. The second one is absolutely aiming for his head. I'm literally baffled anyone thinks its not. Imagine Cattermole did that to one of our players in a derby? Imagine someone doing it to Messi. This entire place would go mental. Genuinely reckon its as clear a red as your gonna see. We all wanted the one against Reina didn't we? Nobody disagreed with Shelvey going for gently standing on Alli’s leg. You cannot nut people man A headbutt requires using your forehead IMO. Wouldn't have been complaining if it was given but think it would've been slightly harsh What’s it called using the top of your head if not a headbutt? I must remember that if anyone headbutts me and it's not directly with the forehead Remember the TV screen with your hands too.

No force, side of the head to chest. Ridiculously stupid but IMO red would've been harsh.

Wasn’t me like? Blates was, like.

Didn't Hans ask for a penalty but the post has vanished now?

Headbutting someone in the chest without any force. Sue the cunt!

Get up ffs
