Let’s hope those rested return chomping at the bit and keep the dream of not facing Brazil in the quarters alive! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Sick of seeing the word 'momentum' tonight. Yes, it could backfire on Southgate if they lose to Colombia. But, then again, England could've lost to Japan. Playing the percentages, man. Job done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gottlob Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Forget about the momentum meter for a moment, England tonight used up the benevolent bounty of my cup of goodwill, which was full but is now sorely depleted. Competitive internationals against fancied sides come around but rarely, and this one barely came before I wished it were gone. Anyway, if the final is the objective, I don't think there's much between the two sides of the draw. Better Japan than Colombia, better the Swedes or Swiss than Brazil, and better the Argentines, French, Portuguese or Uruguayans than Spain or Croatia judging on performances so far in my opinion, then it's just the final to go!

Jayson Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Well we're all back on the same page now lets just hope we go for it & do well from here. I'll be impressed if we can get past Colombia & I've a feeling Rodriguez will make a miraculous recovery. That Quintero lad aswell may have a say. Kane could be the difference for us though. Kane is the player we haven't had for a long time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I’m sure I read an article a while ago basically arguing that ‘momentum’ in respect of sporting mentality is a nonsense. In any event, would beating a weakened Belgium with a full strength team really make any difference? Some amazing amateur psychologists knocking around on twitter though.

Kimbo Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I still don't know if this England side is worth rating or not, 2 wins against guff sides and a B side match. Colombia have blown hot and cold though, so WHO KNOWS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperFlat Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Thought it was a bit cavalier to play without a midfield tonight. Southgate really is a bit of a maverick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Went out into the garden to have a beer at full time and accidently left ITV on the TV and just walked in to Danny Dyer telling Piers Morgan and Jeremy Corbyn he think's David Cameron is a twat for calling the EU referendum. Bloke has just gone up in my estimation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Well, that was garbage. Too many changes and no intent from Southgate to win the game. Just watch Columbia turn us over, on Tuesday night. The most England thing ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert Pupkin Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I wouldn't say I'm confident about the Colombia game. I've been watching England too long for that, but Colombia looked really poor today. Senegal should have beaten them, they just lacked a bit of quality and composure in the box. Colombia couldn't handle Senegal's pressing in midfield or their physicality. England should really beat them. Obviously, whether James is fit or not will make a big difference to Colombia's chances too - he wen't off early in the Senegal match and he never really looked fully fit from the start.
