Fucking hell that's outrageous. So modern Britain to cash in like that.

It's one of the highest paid jobs in world football.

There's a bit of a narrative that this England side is made up of lesser players than previous squads and maybe that's true but 9 of the typical 11 play for the top four that we have all accepted as being miles ahead of everyone else in the Premier League. They're extremely good players, just less decorated than Lampard and Gerrard et al.

Southgate did drop Rooney, Bluf. His first squad binned him iirc. It would be the ultimate redemption story for him to bring the World Cup home after missing that penalty, I love that the commentary featuring his name is in the 1998 version of Three Lions which has become so ubiquitous. I disagree with HTT that we're the weakest of the four sides left incidentally, I think that's Croatia. They're absolutely not crap like Sweden but nor are they France, they're not that good and we should feel confident.

Was never really in doubt. Grew in confidence after the first and it ended up being really comfortable. Pickford made a few great saves to keep it that way. Saw one Pickford save, was fucking amazing. Still not keeper of the tournament probs on NO. Arguably Southgates best decision making that lad number one, paying out like crazy. Anyone who says he's been owt but brilliant is a mug. The second save today in particular was cracking. Can't stand the pair of the little bastards but fair play, him and Henderson have been superb. We'd have been in big trouble against Croatia if Henderson had got booked today, he's held the midfield together.

Who the fuck goes to Madame Tussaud's during a World Cup quarter final?

Can't do us much harm Croatia having played 120 x 2. Half of them could hardly walk by the end.

Cheryshev's like a bad smell, hanging around messing up my sweep, fuck off man.

To think we could've had fucking slughead in charge for this tournament. Hope he's sat at home somewhere trying to enjoy his post match takeaway whilst it turns to ashes in his mouth. He'll be on his eighth pint of wine by now.

People tightly packed standing up whilst holding pints watching football. Even if you don’t throw it, it’s going everywhere once everyone starts jumping around in celebration. It’s a bit different from people pissing in pint glasses and throwing them at gigs/festivals. Think the footage of Newcastle makes it pretty bloody obvious that people are throwing it for the sake of throwing it rather than doing so inadvertently. I'm very much in the camp that it's a tedious and dickish thing to do.

I feel sick.

Really disappointed Cavani's missing. Think that might give France the edge.

Because Switzerland welcomed them in as children with open arms having been victims of ethnic cleansing?

We didn't beat them in '58, they got to the final. We beat them in Euro 2012 but hadn't for years before that.

He was not erect tbh as I watched it with him. :lol: Glad you checked neesy.

England were just as bad like Howay, that display before the (blatant) penalty was taken was outrageous. The refs have obviously been told to be lenient in this tournament - in any other football match, one of the Colombians would have gone for dissent, either Falcao or Carlos Sanchez.

Seb Larsson in the QFs. Little fucking cockhead.

Fair play to Pickford like, the fucking mackem freak. Luckily Henderson obliged so I can still slag one of them off.

Fucking hell, I've got a right headache. Emotionally drained and we're only in the quarter final.

We've completely gone to pot.

So fucking predictable that. Ludicrous.

That's a red all day long, Jesus.
