World Cup Discussion Thread - Day 24 (7 July)

[SwedishSpurs]

Congrats England! We had some decent chances but overall you were better than us. Hope you go on to win it now

 

[Indisguise]

Anyone want to argue about this side of the draw any more?

 

[Danners9]

Good times. They look tired though. A few important days of rest ahead!

 

[SlickMongoose]

Amazing. First WC semi final since Italia 90.

Cheering on Croatia now. Would hate to face Russia in Russia.

 

[SpursD22]

Gutted that we’re out but I never expected us to go to the quarterfinal, before the WC started I would be happy if we even scored





I hope England win the WC now, Kane win the Golden Boot





Pickford is class and even though I’m not Trippier biggest fan he’s been brilliant





????

 

[Sandros Shiny Head]

Still need to solve the issue of getting Kane into the game, but we know he won't drop Sterling

Code for "Gonna do a 'Rebecca Loos' on you B'woy'.

 

[Col_M]

Love this.

"Momentum", apparently.

 

[tiger666]

Come on Russia

Yep, happy to ..

'Spursy' is still a possibility, always is ...

Yep. Prefer Croatia to have an outbreak of poloniumitus than England.

Genuinely don't think we've played that well, overall, and we're in the semis of the WC.

If we can find a way to loosen up our game much earlier in the next match/es and let our quality come through more, we have a chance of winning it (still think France will be in the final and will be super tough to beat).

Never thought we'd be in this position, so super chuffed whatever happens from here (especially having won a pen shoot-out).

Huge props to Southgate, who I had no faith in whatsoever.

Maybe, but England are better than Russia. So far imo Croatia look on a level above England along with France

 

[spursfan1991]

this is amazing, credit to spurs for having so many in semis (inc belgium and france). we are such a great club.

 

[DuDe]

Come on Russia

That not very 'Globalist' of you ;-p

 

[goughie1966]

I'm not sure we have enough to win it. Let's be fair we haven't played anyone with real quality yet. But whatever we end up with it's exceeded my expectations and made me interested in England again

 

[ajspurs]

Actually feels so surreal to say England are in the semi final's of the World Cup, crazy. Such an achievement no matter what happens now. I've never felt proud of an England team in my lifetime until now. It actually feels great to not have a team based on Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard etc.

So excited for Trippier's season with us as well after excelling here so much.

People forget we didn't play very well in Italia '90 either.

So chuffed for this group of lads. Most goodwill-deserving bunch to put on an England shirt since Euro 96, by a mile.

I think people thought something similar about Germany 4 years ago.
