[The Gator]

Was this a real thing?

Yes 

Booth guy said Harry Kane 

Dude back in red square said Harry Kane 

 

[gianmarco]

HARRY KANE DIDN'T SCORE YOU MORONS

This broadcast crew should not be brought back to the states. Just leave everyone there.

Harry Kane always scores. He's requesting credit for the goal due to same first name.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Would have been great if he’d scored that bicycle and completely silenced all of twitter / message boards everywhere. 

 

[The Gator]

Nice goal ??

 

[gianmarco]

Too easy.

 

[CGRdrJoe]

Kane has to be loving Sterling’s play today so that he is not looking like the worst player on the pitch. 

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Damn, just played keep-a-way for 3 minutes there.

 

[Sinn Fein]

There he is...

 

[TripItUp]

God Save the Queen!!

 

[gianmarco]

Lingard's 1 touch pass was absolutely perfect. Beautiful to watch.

 

[gianmarco]

There he is...

No, Kane didn't score that one either.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Nice goal ??

Thats a Dele goal - ghosting past a defender.

He is wasted in CM, needs to be playing in more of a partnership with Kane

 

[Slapdash]

So close!

 

[gianmarco]

Wow.

That would have been the most beautiful constructed goal all tournament.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Southgate looks like he’s about to make some hand-crafted, artisanal cocktails.

 

[Bonzai]

Some amazing saves this tournament.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Pickford coming of age...

 

[The Gator]

Southgate looks like he’s about to make some hand-crafted, artisanal cocktails.

Ha, you said anal. 

 

[The Gator]

Pickford coming of age...

Really nice save 

 

[gianmarco]

Pickford coming of age...

He DID touch his first boob.

 

[Slapdash]

Southgate looks like he’s about to make some hand-crafted, artisanal cocktails.

And ask if you want some farm-to-table small plates to go along with them

 

[gianmarco]

Southgate looks like he’s about to make some hand-crafted, artisanal cocktails.

To be fair, he always looks like that.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Ha, you said anal. 

He DID touch his first boob.

Scouser %^&*@!

 

[The_Man]

Have 2 teams from the same group ever reached the final? Belgium-England potential

Twice. Not since ‘62 though.

 

[gianmarco]

Sterling trying to replicate Nagbe's heat map

 

[Zow]

Forsberg subbing off seems strange to me. Be like the avalanche subbing off... well, forsberg. Isn’t he one of the better scorers? If so, there a strategy here I’m missing?

 

[gianmarco]

Only thing missing at this point is a Trippier free kick from distance into the back of the net.

 

[gianmarco]

Wow.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Pickford!

I hope the delivery guy doesn’t brick.

 

[gianmarco]

Pickford!

Getting to 3rd base tonight!

 

[Slapdash]

Pickford reenacting the concentration needed to touch his first boob there

 

[gianmarco]

John Stones looking more and more like he wants to star in Peaky Blinders.

ETA -- Ok, I'm not the only one.

 

[culdeus]

Bloody hell. Well at least I didnt have to watch it. 

 

[Sinn Fein]

Current Odds:

France 2/1
Belgium 5/2
England 5/2
Croatia 6/1
Russia 20/1

 

[Jaysus]

... Sterling

Lol @ the standing ovation from the bar just now for Sterling coming off....

 

[Sinn Fein]

Its coming home

 

[Sinn Fein]

"I am just sorry so many beautiful women are so sad right now!"

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Its coming home

It’s coming home

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Happy for England. 

 

[grateful zed]

sad for Sweden

 

[NewlyRetired]

I’m going to stab you. 

there is one guy like this in every thread.  Not much you can do about it.....At least is marginally better than the "soccer sucks" guy but not by much.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Is it safe to assume Russia parks the Bear again this game and plays for either a counter or pk's?

Croatia did not look great last game and will need to step it up if they want to get through a bunker approach.

 

[Charlie Steiner]

sad for Sweden

Made me Saab

Oliver, age 6, nods in agreement.

 

[NewlyRetired]

damn, this would have been an interesting combo.  Poor Andi must have spent the last two weeks learning Japanese

Cheers from Moscow, just to clarify: no truth on rumors coaching Japan.

absolutely. they'll do what's worked thus far against better competition- no reason not to.

and yeah- croatia is looking a bit more susceptible... but still far outclass this russian team. probably gonna be another ugly one... unless that blessed early goal goes in for croatia.

 

[El Floppo]

Oliver, age 6, nods in agreement.

we really need an oliver screen name or av

 

[NewlyRetired]

unless that blessed early goal goes in for croatia.

that is what I am thinking/hoping for as well or it is going to be 120 minutes of the soccer equivalent of

at least croatia's more direct than spain- they'll go at it, instead of pass around infinitely at midfield.
