Ormond Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 You’d never have imagined the Swedes would have such a bad flat pack 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Despite England’s dominance they’ll have Pickford to thank if they get through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Some things we know about Sweden: they were able to beat South Korea, Mexico and Switzerland. Not Germany. And so far, not England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumnio Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I had a nap, woke up and it’s 2-0 England, I want to go back to sleep. From what little I’ve seen, Sweden are absolutely awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kumnio Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Pickford and Maguire look like monsters, if they didn’t have a football career, you just know they would be stealing scrap metal in a white pickup van. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld_Reekie Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Sweden been brutal. But England going to final. And I wouldnt bet against them in final. Grim. Would be worst finalists in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are absolutely honking, how they've got this far is remarkable, they create nothing, all about second balls and set pieces. Croatia will play through them no problem.

exile Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 (edited) Well it's pretty much to be expected - if you'd been told the opponents in advance, you wouldn't be surprised for England to beat Tunisia, Panama and Sweden, to be tight against Colombia and face stiffest test against Belgium. Next opponents, who knows, could be extra time/penalties again. But you'd fancy Belgium or France to beat whoever comes out this half???

Fair play to England, you can only play what's in front of you. They've had a relatively easy draw but that's cup football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah pretty much sums it up, it’s been a poor World Cup, the favourites all getting put out early with England cheering on the underdog every game in the hope that they scrape through n win the World Cup it’s a good achievement to win it but it’s been a disappointing World Cup no outstanding team or player , Jim hills love child top goalscorer with 3 penalties 50% of his goals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parklife Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 3 hours ago, Toepoke said: I think saying it's an absolute travesty is overstating it a bit. Brazil were undone by some great counter attacking football from genuine world class players. It looked a poor call for the penalty but Brazil still had plenty of other chances to score that they didn't take. I'm not too disappointed to see the back of Neymar and his theatrics tbh. xG 3.09 vs 0.45. Stats tell the story. It was a shagging. Brazil incapable of taking their chances and the worst decision VAR will ever make combined to make the best team by far lose. Belgium were great on the break but required a fluke, a 25 yard screamer and horrendous refereeing to win. Bizarre to reference Neymar but ignore Chadli feigning injury to kill time and momentum. Good job I've long given up expecting other folk to be consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
