No Irish, No Yanks, No Clogs - FIFA World Cup 2018

Tempo to this game, this is gonna be fun no matter what happens

Columbia are much more accurate at passing and seem to manage to do so at a pace we can't match.

god why would you put Geiger to officiate a match like this

cos there are going to be a lot of counters in this match

La mot juste

omg took me a moment lol

Decent high pressing game so far but they've not been able to get the ball to Kane at all.

aw Kane :(

You're shit Kane

xxp and when they do he fluffs it

lol Sterling frantically trying to get it onto his right foot

the word "impish" was just used on Fox

this is quite medium so far!

i admire how little sterling's willingness is diminished by his repeated failure

his wanting-it-ness will not have been called into question

football is almost entirely about failure if you're looking at it like that

like cricket is just waiting.

lol xp

pleez no pens in this one, Columbia need to put Eng out of their misery in the 90

(i mean pens at the end)

and Sterling is astoundingly bad

pickford does seem to treat the ball like a bomb quite frequently.

at the moment it *looks* like there are goals in the game but we'll see

Geiger has absolutely no control of that scrum

Fucking disgraceful overacting from Henderson, he's ruined the tournament for me

lol at “he felt that” as Henderson went down like Neymar.

He must have learned that from a foreigner.

It's almost as if there's a massive double standard from English pundits

Should be yellows for both of them.

Englush wimps

ffs stop letting Trippier take these.

Still, good to know Henderson has picked up something from watching his betters

It's almost as if there's a massive double standard from English pundits

On British television. We love it.

looool double standard reverse ferreting.

England could do with introducing a gangling target man to aim balls at in the box

Alli going off injured will likely improve them all things considered

this ref is shit, incredible that americans have still found a way to ruin the wc

Clattenberg coming soon to make me think whatever the opposite of his thoughts is

England could do with introducing a gangling target man to aim balls at in the box

What both of these teams are lacking is a F******* type figure.

Harry Maguire is our F********

England are unsurprisingly shite against half-decent opposition. Colombia sorely lacking without James :-/

Bring Fellaini on. For whoever.

Clattenberg questioning VAR, strike him off FIFA

"he knows where jordan henderson's head is"

this is why i will never be a good footballer

What is it with ITV and their trucks?

Picture of clearly not English kid "summing up the hopes of a nation"

Then the sign should have said 'England please don't be shit like usual'

england certainly had more of the first half but poised to lose in an extremely english fashion:

someone reacting to the wind up and getting sent off
defensive error (pickford pass to yellow shirt v much in play)
can't score, lose on pens

They're not shit, they're being cheated out of it by dirty foreigners and VAR

If we lose this game the front page of tomorrow's Metro is going to be (even more) intolerable (than usual).

These knobheads going on about England being "definitely the better team" ffs

I'm biased but basically Barrios should be beheaded.
