·It’s easy to put the ball in the net after the whistle has gone and the opponents stop playing. As such I can only think you’re joking, so in that case, that’s funny!
You hundreds of three Lions..

·No I am not joking. It’s England’s fault for sleeping and not staying on their feet. So if what I say doesn’t stand. Why did they throw the ball in? Nothing would have happened then. You snooze you lose.btw. Hope your a full fútbol fan if your going to comment. Not just watching because of World Cup.

·A “full” football fan? Yeah I have a tattoo of Ferenc Puskás on my arse and sleep in a Dulka-Prague Away Kit. Am I allowed an opinion now?

If you're an England football fan then you have to suffer virtually all the time but console yourself that the Jocks (Scotland) and Taffs (Wales) are usually worse😉. No suffering today (apart from a boring first half hour) - semi finals for the first time since 1990 and we won't be meeting Germany!! Best chance since we last won it...
Cheers, Chris

The more I watch this game, the more I’m convinced there are no tactics involved in this sport... seems to me that most goals are just by serendipity in nature... anyone?

·Well the semi finalists have been decided. More beer and not so late nights for those in France, England, Croatia and Belgium,
What a great World Cup. Good luck to all (not that luck has too much to do with it)

·If you've never played and only watch on TV, it's hard to see what everyone is doing. It's not a game of luck, any more than any ball sport. One of the greatest things that the UK gave the world as you can play it with a few people, a ball and jumpers for goalposts...

·Legit?? That Colombia game was not legit. They stole that 2nd goal from them. That ball was out the sideline.
Oh Dear
I believe Mr Yossarian was referring to the phantom goal vs Germany in 1966.
And was very much tounge in cheek.
Fortunately we have VAR now so obviously every descion will be correct. Nobody will be able to tamper with penalty spots or head butt opponents without the appropriate punishment.
I’m not sure if you have heard? But football is coming home.

Completely disagree. This England team is the perfect example of what young, inexperienced players can do with good tactics, when compared to the "golden generation" who had the experienced, mature players, but no tactical nounce.

Completely agree, David
Current team just needs the additional confidence / momentum, of consistently scoring from ‘open play’, as opposed to ‘set pieces’ & PK’s

·I believe we're due a rendition of
"I can live with the despair, it's the hope that's killing me"
England are a good "Team" at the moment. Lord Waistcoat has them well organised and nobody in the team is looking to someone/anybody else to make stuff happen (which was the crime the golden generation committed when they weren't trolling their ego's up and down the laneway).
they may not be the technical best of the teams remaining but if they can find some more scoring scenarios rather than the set piece they should do well in the final against Belgium.
Basically if they find Sterling some confidence they should win.
