Guest Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Anyone else getting a bit giddy? Will be full on nervous ants in my pants come 6pm I’m way too excited But it’s great even feeling we’ve got a sniff of a chance Invited to a big do in London tonight, but politely declined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules_darby Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Not sure about Colombia; they were unconvincing against a poor Senegal, battered a Shocking Poland and lost to Japan. I reckon it could be anyone’s but I think we’ll outscore em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Just hope as a nation we aren't being way too complacent. Colombia won't be a pushover. Neither will be the winner of Sweden and Switzerland. We've looked decent against a couple of poor nations but still had our wobbles in those games. I really wonder how we would've have coped going 2-0 to Japan with 35 mins to play. Cmon England!!!!

I've read that somewhere before, would love to know what the fuck they were thinking doing that. Did anyone watch the documentary "Scotland 78 A Love Story" on BBC the other day? Well worth watching if not, but Ally MacLeod was asked on that if he'd watched Iran or Peru in the build up to their group games and he just said no Ive been concentrating on preparing my own team. It reminded me of that. I expected us to take Iceland out fairly easily in that game (actually thought we hadnt played "too" badly through the group stage) and it was set up for a QF against France on the following Saturday night which would have been huge.

miamiwhite Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I don’t understand the nerves. 3-1 to us, ........Kane with 2 and Rashford with a breakaway......shit if we can’t beat a bit of Colombian. Cameras will be constantly zooming in on beautiful South American ladies then comparing them to fat Sandra from Sheffield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd have struggled I reckon. We only really have one plan/style of play. When teams adapt we struggle. Our best chance is to get at teams from the off and try and edge in front early - I'd say we've got a good chance of doing that against any team I've seen so far And yes, I'm getting nervous now.

Burndens Bogs Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Decent enough team. Maybe Rashford on for Sterling and Danny Rose in for Ashley Young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwfcfan5 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Played ok. But our lack of real genuine quality in midfield and out wide shines through. How do we break a team like this down? Trippier taking free kicks exemplifies this. Not enough genuine quality when it matters. Going to be a scrap and a case of who keeps their heads and takes probably one chance.

Leyther_Matt Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Headbutt had to be a red for me. He’s basically been rewarded for having pish aim. Can’t blame Henderson for rolling around a bit as that seems to be in vogue at the minute. Still waiting for a game of football to break out really.
