World Cup Discussion Thread - Day 20 (3 July)

Credit to the Tottenham lads and Pickford save. Thought Rashford's penalty was excellent.

only 1 bad penalty, I was shocked to see him walk up, he was close to being our worst player of the night. really expected Vardy to step up

I feel fucking shattered.

What a night though!

Get in!

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Anyway, I'm just wondering, how many Liverpool-players scored a penalty in the shoot-out?

 

[Sandros Shiny Head]

I was convinced Kane would miss his pen, he must have had total jelly legs lol. He's got some kind of mentality

Sorry to bring it back to club - but 4/5 of our goals were Spurs, right?
Harry’s top scorer now, Spurs must be top scoring club too?

Tony Adams words of wisdom in a June 10th interview

[QUOTEI’m really worried about these Tottenham players, I don’t think they know how to win. They’re very good players but at certain points in seasons and tournaments, you have to step up — there’s a psyche players must have.” ][/QUOTE]

Arsemania on Kane's penalty in the shootout:

Wouldn't want my wife anywhere near predator like Harry Kane. Beautiful pen. I hate him.

Well done Gareth.

The guy didn't even want the job originally, no one else wanted him in the job, but he's got us to the quarter finals.

For the SNP MPs that forced a vote at 7pm in order to prevent English MPs from watching the match:

Oh flower of Scotland,
How rare you are,
On competition pitches,
Near and far

Well done England, but Colombia should now have the book thrown at them and face retrospective action for their disgraceful thuggery,cheating,scuffing up the penalty box, harassing the ref and having official staff members deliberately barging into our players off the pitch. That sort of disgusting behaviour has no place in football, especially on the world's biggest stage.
Shame it will be up to a spineless and corrupt FIFA organisation to do anything about it ?

Here here. It was shocking, worst I've seen in a world cup. Deliberately scuffing the spot, along with the behaviour towards the ref was despicable. It spoilt the game a lot. Tunisia weren't half as bad, and they were awful. Hopefully we will see a more.honest approach from Sweden.

3 out of the 5 were Spurs players mate

 

[midspur]

Looking forward to hearing what Tony Adams has to say now!

 

[mpickard2087]

I like the cut of Southgate's jib there tbf. Not dwelling on the penalty shootout, focusing on Sweden already.

 

[chinaman]

Well done Gareth.

The guy didn't even want the job originally, no one eye wanted him in the job, but he's got us to the quarter finals.

But he shouldn't have started Young and Sterling.

 

[Dharmabum]

This is awaiting England...

 

[Colonel Dax]

2-2 after extra time. Colombia to win on penalties. Yes I'm even more pessimistic with England than I am with Tottenham.

Usually get predictions wrong so hopefully I'm wrong again.

Sweden will smash us 4-0

 

[CrouchPotato]

Stress every time Kane steps up to take another penalty thinking maybe just maybe he will finally miss one, especially with how long the gap between the foul and the pens have been. Balls of steal, such a brilliant leader. This teams belief and fight has been been so good to see.

 

[Shadydan]

Arsenal supporting mate rang me and said the Spurs boys came through and he loves Spurs ?

 

[ajspurs]

As tough a game Sweden may be, I never ever thought we'd be in a scenario where we'd have to beat Sweden to get into the semi's. Crazy. And that's what will make it really hurt if we lose. Not sure we'd ever have such a favourable route to get to a World Cup final.
