Sweden vs England (QF) - 15:00 - 07/07/2018

[ska invita]

England have got this sown up...doing everything right apart from a couple of wayward passes...one more goal should do it

 

[The39thStep]

Yeah what the fuck was that???

Tolkienesq

 

[campanula]

Sweden offered nothing in that half

true

 

[5t3IIa]

Pssh Sterling deserves a goal

 

[Spymaster]

We were building up a head of steam there. Half time got in the way.

 

[Plumdaff]

Sterling making it very hard to stick up for him

P. S. He does loads off the ball keep him on .

 

[Lord Camomile]

Cuz he's glory hunting.

Not the time to do it.

I don't know if its glory hunting exactly, or just desperately trying to do something to answer the critics and settle the doubts, including his own.

Possibly being generous, but feeling for the guy.

 

[butchersapron]

Sterling making it very hard to stick up for him

Nonsense. He worked his bollocks off all half. Best player on the pitch.

 

[The39thStep]

Hope Sterling scores .I would give RLC a run out in the second half and give Alli a rest

Possibly being generous, but feeling for the guy.

Yeah, he was playing for himself and not the team.

 

[A380]

Wasn't his surname Tupper and the strip called Tough of the Track?

Brilliant comic strip used to have a motorbike with a bath as a side car.

Alf Tupper. The Tough of the Track

 

[campanula]

Trippier back on form (after Colombia). Walker having a decent game too. dele Alli has not looked right for the last couple of games - really struggled against Colombia). Lingard doing better. Kane, still missing.

 

[Plumdaff]

Nonsense. He worked his bollocks off all half. Best player on the pitch.

Not quite but he should be stuck up for, but it's hard because of the massive chances he's blown this half.

 

[Spymaster]

Yeah, he was playing for himself and not the team.

If he keeps doing what he's been doing he'll score in the second half.

 

[Rebelda]

Raheem you're gonna give me a heart attack.

Sterling YOU GREEDY GLORY HUNTING BASTARD.

Unfair imo. Sweden have such a rep for an impenetrable back four that Sterling getting past them, offside or not , is bound to shake them psychologically. Cat amongst pigeons or something.

 

[campanula]

don't know if its glory hunting exactly,

No, I thought it was a desperate attempt to redeem himself for earlier fails so not really doing a Ronaldo thing

 

[imposs1904]

Nonsense. He worked his bollocks off all half. Best player on the pitch.

That's not saying much.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Aye, was just going to say what Ferdinand sad: as frustrating as it is, at least he's proving a threat. Better a misfiring threat than none at all, might always get lucky.

 

[5t3IIa]

I think Lingard deserves one too. Does everyone think he doesn’t either, for some bullshit reason?

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

Raheem you're gonna give me a heart attack.

Good point. Well made.

 

[Lord Camomile]

No, I thought it was a desperate attempt to redeem himself for earlier fails so not really doing a Ronaldo thing

Exactly, it's redemption not glory.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Sterling both England's best player and England's most frustrating player that half. Hope one falls for him soon - I do think if he scores one he'll get a few.

 

[The39thStep]

Raheem you're gonna give me a heart attack.

Good comment. he's done that twice , they'll have to respond to that threat and get an equaliser.

 

[smmudge]

Aye it's frustrating but it's better to be putting the pressure on than being on the back foot, fighting Sweden off

 

[blairsh]

Sterling is fast and working hard, hes just not finishing or tying up plays like he can when hes not in an England shirt.

 

[paulhackett]

 

[Plumdaff]

Trippier has been the best England player so far imo. Sterling too inconsistent.

 

[passenger]

Great goal playing well I am sure sterling will get that goal

 

[planetgeli]

Swap Sterling for Rashford. You get pace and someone who can hit the target. Imagine people talking about the work rate of de Bruyne or Hazard. We talk about their skill. Skill wins the World Cup, not some poxy work rate and not being able to hit a barn door from two yards.

FUCK OFF SWEDEN YOU CUNTS, GO HOME!
