Very silly discussion on ITV and assumes this young team wouldn't be feeling the pressure against Switzerland or Sweden should they get that far.
and its quite an if - think they'd struggle against Senegal and would be underdogs against Colombia. xps

Either England Colombia or Belgium Colombia would be an absolute humdinger of a game though.

That crack about Sweden being the new Greece is, uh, worrying me a bit. Anyway, I think there's going to be an unexpected team, or two, reaching the semi finals.
― Alan Alba (Tom D.), Wednesday, 27 June 2018 20:42 (eight years ago)
Hot take: Belgium and England will both play to win, altho if a clear result looks likely after an hour or so (ie one team 2-0 up) I expect things might try to wind down.

mind ay that time greece got futher than the semi finals
expect things might wind down. Not sure how 'things' as such, would 'try' anything

In their two previous WCs, Poland have also been eliminated after just two games and then gone on to win their third.
If that happens think a draw between Senegal & Columbia would see both teams through

Lol if the queen dies while england are still in, and the players have to remember to sing 'king' instead

Japan have made six changes, including putting Kagawa and Inui on the bench, despite still needing a point to qualify. What could possibly go wrong?

Rolling more than once after a foul should be an automatic yellow. Both teams just did it ten seconds apart there

Colombia seems really off today. Senegal looking great.

I don't think he got the ball...?

He did

hard to tell from the radio tbh
― I'd Rather Kecak (NickB), Thursday, 28 June 2018 14:19 (eight years ago)
From close up, yes, he did.
― Wag1 Shree Rajneesh (ShariVari), Thursday, 28 June 2018 14:20 (eight years ago)
Four years ago that's a penalty AND a red

That was totes a penalty BTW, "touched the ball" be damned

I'm willing to give the tackle credit

Pekerman trying to exotcise Riquelme demons?

You just accidentally invented quite a cool idiom

U may have seen the riquelme demons play at a small to medium sized north london gig venue, the islington hope and anchor, or the electric ballroom for instance

Senegal would be on fire if they had one forward who could pick the right pass in the box
― Kroos on first (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 28 June 2018 14:45 (eight years ago)
No I mean to exoticise one's demons - to repeat a mistake, but even more grandly
