I'm still pissed we dropped our first team in that Belgium match. I really didn't want to play you lot. :lol:

I mean, what's the point in being in the 'easier' part of the bracket if you can't get out of the R16?

Yeah i found that to be loser mentality. Not that we are world beaters, but teams should play one game at a time. Not look beyond their next opponent. Not to sound arrogant, but i expect Colombia to win this game. Hopefully your lot don't prove me wrong.

England may not be great but they're better than Colombia and should be better than Sweden/Switzerland. So it's a Semi-Final spot or be laughed at.

Is James playing? If not England should win this. Colombia was not very impressive except win vs Poland.

Excited for this. My money is on Harry Kane to get England through, but hoping for Cuadrado and Colombia to advance

Goddamn am I nervous about this. After the Iceland Euro 2016 debacle I told myself I wouldn't get hopeful ever again. I know realistically we probably won't advance because England are terrible in knockout football and Colombia are a good team, but knowing what Kane, Sterling, Alli, etc. are capable of gives me some hope.

A realistic path to the finals is open for England. How will they squander it?

Damn, if Kane could have kept that header down... Not a bad start though.
