R16: Colombia v England

[BR0B0T]

Close game! Hopefully, James is out injured...

and obvs

football is coming home

[Old Man Andrews]

James Collins?

[Winston Biscuit]

Tight game, win it in extra time and football will be confirmed as coming home

[CountryRoyal]

Another rout, 4-0, Kane brace, one for Sterling (I know) and one for Rashford, the country goes into melt down, Theresa May announces that football is, in fact, coming home.

[Pepe the Horseman]

^^^this, except J-Lingz instead of Rashford.

[Scutterbucketz]

Yep I’m going for 4 nil too. ICH

[Sutekh]

Just realised ITV have this game

When was the last time they televised England winning a game at the WC finals?

[AthleticoSpizz]

When was the last time they televised anything decent?

The way the mighties are falling...it could just be on for us

Apparently ITV’s win rate with England is only something like 29%. BBC’s is more like 60-something!!

[Theroyalbox]

I am really not looking forward to this one, I'm not ready for it to be all over and I have a bad feeling.

It doesn't actually mean anything fellas, just a pure coincidence.

If anything, it means we're due a win on ITV due to the law of averages

[Maneki Neko]

not feeling confident at all, but that may just be years of watching England oxf*rd up at tournaments talking.

looking forward to it though. win this and a severe dose of the fever will be on its way

Absolutely. Also, what’s the odds on us not winning a World Cup for 52 years? I haven’t punched the numbers but they’ve got to be astronomical. With this simple maths in mind I have been able to deduct that it’s coming home. It just has to be.

[Jackson Corner]

2-0 Colombia The usual inquest into the state of the national game. To many foreigners overpaid young players blah blah. Nothing will change, the Premiership starts again and all is forgotten.

[Silver Fox]

When we win will the try-hards who are trying to claim that it's not coming home just star saying we've got no chance of beating Sweden or Switzerland?

[Old Man Andrews]

2-0 Columbia. The usual inquest into the state of the national game. To many foreigners overpaid young players blah blah. Nothing will change, the Premiership starts again and all is forgotten.

Colombia.

pFuck 'em. 52 years of hurt is now over. Football is, as far as I'm concerned, home.

[Sanguine]

Nevermind that - I read an actual apparently genuine comment on a forum yesterday that was already denigrating any supposed success if we reach the World Cup final because 'we've got an easy draw'.

[windermereROYAL]

Ok, where is everyone watching this tomorrow? I have no interest in the town hall end of Friar street or Station hill.

[Jackson Corner]

I’d rather watch love Island. Than that crap.
