Colombia vs England (R16) - 19:00 - 03/07/2018

[Rebelda]

He has the squad.

Was a player and won/suffered with the national side. Have been reading great things about him and how he carries himself.

About time England had a good manager. Win or lose, let the guy build for the future.

I was just thinking, one of the things I really like about the current squad is their sense of humour. Especially about themselves. See numerous tweets from players not taking themselves seriously (or wanting sky in their room ) for eg. I'm sure a lot of that is down to the players themselves but also I get the impression GS has put effort into getting them taking the games seriously not themselves.

We have moved on from the Eriksson era of egos tf. Not that I blame him personally but he did nothing to rein it in afaict.

Maradona launches anti-England rant and calls World Cup victory over Colombia a 'monumental theft'

Did they show a different match in South America?

If your eh is not that then *shrug* i think it's a nice point well made.

Forgive me, I've had to organise a Sports Day for 8 & 9 year olds today while hanging like a motherfucker. I'm tired out

Dulwich Mishi posted this on FB. Love it

Amid all the posts about last night...this has got to be my favourite one I've seen on facebook so far:
"I couldn't face the penalties. I switched over to an episode of Midsomer Murders on ITV3 and saw someone electrocuted on an exercise bike then another bloke drowned in a big pan of tomato soup. Switched back to the football and heard we'd won, now it feels like I've had an exciting evening without the usual stress of a penalty shootout."

I guess we all died a little in that damn war.

Can I just add that I think Southgate is the most dignified England manager since Alf Ramsey

And I think he is well dressed.

Today has been utter magic. I think I actually prefer this semi sarcastic hope phase.

Saying "It's Coming Home" with a cheeky grin is my temporary standard salutation to pretty much everyone. (Email footer was the first to be updated)

Someone left a poo filled pair of boxers outside the local pub overnight

Filled them at the moment of triumph no doubt. Relief gave way to elation and overwhelmed his pelvic floor.

The acceptable face of open defecation.

I once went to a pub in Newport. A fairly hairy experience.

Tony slattery mentioned on that link, there was a time when he seemed to be on everything on tv for a time, films as well.
A name from the past.

Setting aside Maradona's comments I find it amusing that some of the Colombian team are moaning about the refs decisions and England bias.

Yeah England probably got the nod a few times when they shouldn't, that happens to teams in most matches, however the Colombians played dirty and were bloody lucky not to have a player sent off so I'm not sure the accusations of bias are fair!
