Btw in the second half of extra time we were much better. Felt like we were getting on top when the match ended.

I'd like to say it was because Dier went CB but it started a little before then. Columbia dropped back and we looked a lot better. We let them dictate the game far too much for a decent chunk.

 

Bringing Dier on was a massive mistake IMO, they were doing nothing before that sub. We can't defend on the backfoot at all so i hope he learnt from it and in the future brings Loftus Cheek on if he wants to close out a game. But he did rectify that in the 2nd half of extra time.

 

It's a different way of defending but with this team i think it's right.

Aye I 100% agree.

Absolutely no way you can criticise him for that save like, it's 'world class'.

 

Well i was joking.

:lol: :thup: it's been a rough 10 minutes

 

:lol: aye, love a shootout but feck me they're nerve jangling.

That Pickford save at the end of normal time is absolutely unbelievable btw

 

Did they ever show the replay?

Apologies if not!

 

Incredible that.

Want to see the technique for the shot from the lad as well, looked insane but not replays. That save was madness.

 

Pickford is a pure Mackem arsehole but he looks some keeper.

Think we'll regret wanting Sweden, but fuck it, go for them.  Be smarter than tonight.

 

Never beaten them in a knock out game i think, but we'd never won a penalty shootout before either.

How good was Kane man? Mainly for his ball retention and defensive contribution. Monster.

 

That Colombia strike before the goal as well, insane. Loved the drama after a fairly dull game that struggled to get into any real flow due to stoppages and annoying crowding of the referee.

England will know now how to play against the Brazilians now tbh after that shit housery display.  Nice warmup.

I think Sweden are a better side than Colombia like, or at least a JR'less Colombia we played today.

 

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.

Might as well ask now.

 

Where are the big screens in London? I know there's Flat Iron Square but it's ticketed. £11 each.

Wew I went there for loads of games in 2014 and it cost nowt, what a rip.

Cheers. Camden Market would be convenient but I'd imagine it'll get rammed. Can the government not just whack loads of massive ones up in Hyde Park?  :lol:
