As good as we could ask for.

Dutch are also cack, and if we want to go far we can't be hoping to continually avoid the best teams.

We either improve or get knocked out- deservedly so.

Aye

What's with these modern sweaty shirts

Seem to remember something about the 53 cup final strip being ‘sweaty’ and it sapped the energy from the team. It could have been an excuse of course. 😊

Playing the Dutch and then Switzerland or Italy doesn’t sound like a ‘favourable’ side of the draw

I’d rather them than Germany, Spain, France, Portugal and Belgium.

And actually as things stand we’ll play Slovakia not Holland! Although I suspect Portugal will get at least one back. 

This last round of games have been really poor 

Teams playing not to lose with this 3rd place crap 

7 draws I think it is this round

Portugal will be lucky to keep 11 on the pitch at this rate.

Diving, moaning and generally doing themselves no favours.

Ronaldo booting off at the whistle.

Come on Georgia- they deserve it, although little in it overall- be great to have more little nations through.

Lots of fouls by both teams, and a bit stop start, but they're having a go and working their socks off.

Georgia are a breath of fresh air, just go for it all the time.

If England had their attitude, we’d piss this tournament.

It was a really poor sending off in the Czech game. A shirt pull in the first few minutes and then carded for winning the ball. Harsh on the Czechs IMO

Turkey leading now against 10 men, so we need Georgia to hold on. Should have had a 2nd too

Pen

Penalty wow

It's really showing how much football is being played when you get to these end of season tournaments isn't it. The fuck kind of quality are the expecting with this club world cup next summer ffs.

Georgia game looks lively at least

I think we are all just tired as well mate

I'd love covid to come back for a bit.

Fuck footy off for a good 6 months.

Get the fuck in

Careful- one of the lads that works for the missus has just come down with it today.

Restrictions in place just after England win their semi! 😁

Mad that about Sagnol playing in a world cup semi 18 years ago against 21 year old Ronaldo 😀

Aye I think you're right, need that weather machine set to today's conditions for 6 months and I'll take it 😀

Cold and wet next week!

1 back for the Czechs

Not sure how long Georgia can hold out for - they're tiring - but who can blame them after this outstanding effort?

Probably done more running than the 3 England games added together.

Georgian number 7 far superior to the Portuguese one. 

He's been immense.

Good to see a ref not having a night of Portugal's ingrained cheating. Been in their DNA for decades. They have some great players for sure but a detestable attitude

Not as bad as some, notably the Italians and pretty much every country in South America.
