Relaxed for the game, but quite honestly not expecting too much. I think England have a very decent chance at winning this game, but I think Colombia also do.

I want to see England play a little smarter and control the centre of the park a bit more.

Halfway through Sweden/Switzerland. Fuck me Berg is shit. Don’t understand why they Don’t just play Toivonan up there with Forsberg as the 10 just behind him.

Would also like to see Embolo start for Switzerland.

Been pretty poor first half, quality wise.

Let me know what you think of the England game at 2am.

Colombia really packing the midfield with 3 DMs, it looks more like a counter attacking approach from them

No James. But Barrios starts along with Carlos Sanchez. 2 x DMs in front of Davinson and Mina.

Could be a frustrating watch, hope we get an early goal!

With Lerma, who can also play FB, alongside Barrios & Carlos Sanchez, Colombia are probably trying to close the spaces that Sterling, Dele & Lingard will be looking for.

And then counterattack at speed, with Quintero providing the creativity, Cuadrado the inconsistent trickery, and Falcao playing like Jamie Vardy, running in behind.

Don't want to blunt the optimism but England have won only 6 knockout games in Euros and World Cup since 1966

How many had Spain won before they won in 2010? Or France in 98?

So been asking this question and curious what everyone’s answer is.

Spurs winning the PL or England winning the World Cup?
