Pulled his arm back across too. Immense reflexes.

This is the sixth penalty shoot out I've watched England have in a tournament ('96, '98, '04, '06, '12) and the first one we've won.

Actually waited years to see this

Just had a quick run down my street, saw everyone outside going nuts.

I actually have 5, Hawk ( France, Brazil, Russia, Croatia, and Sweden)

~~Cuthbert~~ · 07-03-2018, 04:22 PM

So we play Sweden on Saturday.

That will be tough.

I'd take Sterling out and start Rashford.

Sir Harry was class tonight from start to finish

Jesus Christ! Couldn't watch the match as I was on a mission of mercy, got back it was over. Started watching the recording, gets to extra time with four minutes to go in the second half - ****ING STOPS RECORDING!!!! I had to wait for the highlights programme to see how it turned out.

****ing well done to your boys, Monkey. Thought you were sunk when Henderson fluffed (sorry) it, but all came good in the end. Magic penalties, specially Harry and Vardy. Now go on and do Sweden! Congrats getting this far.

Wonder what pithy comment Batty will have? Maybe "huh, deciding a game on penalties is mad. You English." or something of that nature. I wouldn't disagree with him, to be fair.

As soon as the equaliser went in I thought we were going to lose as well. They looked a broken team walking around before extra time. Heads fallen. When it went to penalties I simply did not think there was a chance. Even thought Dier would miss or have his penalty saved.

Hopefully this experience will be the making of this team. Sweden will be tough but I don't expect any MMA from them.

Can't wait for Goofle's analysis

He'll have to sober up first. Give him a few days.

Didn’t get to watch the game unfortunately lads. Will watch extended highlights tomorrow.

But.

It’s.

Coming.

Spoiler for “have a guess”:
