Kane would have headed that ball over the post, Trippier. 

 

[gianmarco]

Trippier did have a nice finish on that Colombian goal. Maybe you guys are right about him.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Just tuned in. Looks like it's getting chippy. 

you are 75 minutes late for that comment

Just tuned in. Looks like it's getting chippy. 

Getting?

Soccer is about 50% luck when teams are fairly matched.

 

[Spartans Rule]

This one's going to PKs I think.

I'm pretty sure it will be decided by a PK, just a question whether it's a shootout or one in extra time.

 

[Native]

19th stoppage-time goal in this world cup.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Ramsey treated Sansa more gently when he raped her on his wedding night than the defender was on Kane on the pk call.

 

[El Floppo]

and 50% chocolate pudding, right?

What's the other 50%?

 

[The_Man]

What's the other 50%?

Set plays

 

[The Gator]

Ashley Cole....what worthless announcers 

 

[El Floppo]

I seriously hate how Colombia went about things here... and I like how they can play when they choose to play.

hopefully they try to win in the ET and not try to make the other team lose players, which seemed to be whatever it was they were going after in regulation.

[El Floppo]

holy hell... two feet jumping in... 

oh, right- studs up by ashley cole there too.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Bacca not going to win too many shoulder-to-shoulder challenges with Dier

 

[El Floppo]

Colombia look more likely to score than england, who have gone static.

 

[gianmarco]

Bacca not going to win too many shoulder-to-shoulder challenges with Dier

Yeah, Bacca got chewed up.

 

[Kafka]

I like me some Muriel...

 

[El Floppo]

and 50% zip it up, and zip it down

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

England would have won if not for that Medellin kid. 

 

[The Gator]

Danny Rose?

Garrett Hodgson managing?

 

[Sinn Fein]

Yeah, Bacca got chewed up.

I've got a bad feeling about this...

 

[Sinn Fein]

Danny Rose?

Garrett Hodgson managing?

MOR SPURS!

 

[Sinn Fein]

Seriously though, Young was terrible.  imo

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Danny Rose?

Garrett Hodgson managing?

Young was knackered. 

 

[The Gator]

Seriously though, Young was terrible.  imo

Agreed 

RLC would have been best imo

 

[Sinn Fein]

They went defensive when they brought Dier on - would have to have taken Hendo off to ramp up the attack again.

 

[El Floppo]

england looking... ungood.

 

[Native]

England have that England look about them right about now...

 

[The Gator]

Young was knackered. 

You guys are confusing my complaint about rose with young. 

Rose is a Hodgson sub...negative.

 

[NewlyRetired]

england looking... ungood.

totally different attitude.  the goal looks like a balloon popped.  England needs to pick it up else they may not get to pk's.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Agreed 

RLC would have been best imo

No lefties on the pitch - I think.

But, could have moved Walker to the left, moved Dier back to CB, and then you could fit RLC in the line-up

 

[Ned]

How is James allowed out there?

 

[Sammy3469]

You guys are confusing my complaint about rose with young. 

Rose is a Hodgson sub...negative.

Pretty sure a midfield of Rose, Trippier, Dier, Henderson, and Walker is about as negative as you can get.  

 

[The Gator]

How is James allowed out there?

Take it to the NBA thread.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

You guys are confusing my complaint about rose with young. 

Rose is a Hodgson sub...negative.

He’s not going to change systems and Rose was the only LWB available.  Don’t really see a positive option outside maybe Rashfird for Sterling. 

 

[gianmarco]

Looking for a Vardy Party!!

 

[Ned]

Take it to the NBA thread.

I’m talking about Hhhhames, dork. 

 

[gianmarco]

Oh, Harry...

 

[ffldrew]

BTW - Gieger got duped on the key play that set up the corner kick.  just prior to that Kane gets called for foul at 18 - and in a bunch of BS from the Columbian team - the keeper ends up pushing the ball ahead about 15 yards before sending the free kick into the mixer and the Columbian player driving the shot on goal. Gieger should have pushed him back and the chance of the keeper delivering the ball that deep into the England end doesn't happen

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

I’m talking about Hhhhames, dork. 

Milner?

 

[Ned]

So what order does England send out for PKs? Save Kane for #6?

 

[El Floppo]

Milner?

boring hhames milner would be some good stuff.

 

[El Floppo]

So what order does England send out for PKs? Save Kane for #6?

kane is 1 or 5

 

[Ned]

Milner?

These jokes are getting boring.  

 

[gianmarco]

So what order does England send out for PKs? Save Kane for #6?

Obviously Trippier starts things off.

 

[The_Man]

Is the English goalie doing an Inigo Montoya thing where he kicks the ball with his left foot just to keep it fair? Time for him to start using his real kicking foot back there

I noticed that too... but didn't think about it in terms of the goal. you're totally right.
