Henderson (gobby) & Young (messing about) need to focus on playing.

Big H heads in 30 min..1 - 0 Eng, from corner.

Pressure needs goals..chance missed by Eng.
Still 1 - 0 HT, but need second to calm things a bit.

Yes, the Jesus one and each time I look at it on replays, it looks clear cut.Stom wrote:The Jesus one?WaspInWales wrote:Brazil would be justified feeling aggrieved they didn't get the penalty decision. That is what var is there for and it was clear and obvious on the replays.
They weren't the first team to get screwed by var and they certainly won't be the last.
That said, I won't be missing Neymar. Outstanding player, but what a cockend.
That wasn't clear cut for me. VAR should be like cricket: only to overturn obvious mistakes. I think, in this case, it should be referees decision, so no pen.

Sterling!!! Took far too long for that excellent chance before half time.
Few individual, and unforced mistakes around the pitch, Alli, Young, Pickford, Henderson all guilty.
But hey, we're winning and 45 minutes away from the semi-final if we can keep it up!

Alli isn't 100% fit. Sterling has some troubles, I think, as he has the composure of a meth head. But we're going to have chances now. Problem is, they'll all fall to one of Sterling, Alli or Lingard. Two of whom aren't exactly renowned for their composure, and the third of whom doesn't look fit.

2 - 0, Alli 58 min header at back - careful build up, good cross !..1 foot in semis.
Get Rashford on to stretch them even more...

That was easy!
Well done Alli. He has tried, made a few mistakes but that will help.

This should be all over by now!
Could've scored 4 or so by now.
Swedes have had a sniff too. Great save from Pickford a few minutes ago.

We're a bit too cute and casual with the ball sometimes at the back. Nearly caught out a couple of times this world cup.

FT Eng 2 - 0 Swe
Professional calm performance by the growing team.
Areas to work on still, but first clean sheet in comp.
Pickford made good saves, Maguire, Trippier mature performances. Sterling, Lingard gave them run-around.
Intelligent front play Kane

Sterling has been a threat today, but his final ball or strike is wanting. He has the pace to get around players, and has found himself in space with the ball, but he just takes too long to make a decision and by that point, it's too late.

Professional performance. But I'm starting to get worried by our use of subs and whether our first 11 are going to be knackered...

Rus under the cosh a bit at 70 mins..most of play in their half, but creating the odd chance on the break.
Cro may regret an earlier great chance in front of goal that came out off the post.
Ally Mc reminds everyone that with Eng reaching the semi's the draw has opened right up for Cro & Rus.

Rus 1 - 2 Cro, 100 min.
Vida header off corner after Rus Neymar-flop fails to gain pen. at other end. A deserved lead, both teams look goosed.

2 - 2 after extra time.
Dreaded pens. it is...Croatia will be down after that.
Slaven will be on the edge of the edge right now..
