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

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”:

If anyone can find footage or videos of the post match analysis with Neville, Wright and Dixon I will luv u 5eva.

You can't watch Wright and Dixon hugging each other and ballooning around the studio with Neville and not smile.

1 - Carlos Sanchez is the worst footballer I have ever seen.

2 - England need to find a way to play decent football and create chances, relying too much on set-pieces and hoofs up the pitch. Could work if we get lucky and keep it together at the back, but very risky. Perhaps moving Sterling to a central area? Need more dynamism behind Kane as opposed to just wide.

3 - Dele Alli has been woeful. He needs creativity around him to shine, and England aren't showing any. So either do what I mentioned above or bin him for something different.

4 - Colombia are a disgrace. Not seen a more retarded low IQ bunch of thuggish "footballers" since Zaire in '74.

5 - Pickford save before the corner was the best I have seen in a long time.

6 - Unbelievable pen save from Ospina on Henderson. Henderson legit dropped the worst performance of the tournament, but it was a good penalty.

7 - Even better save from Pickford.

edit: Apparently Sterling did play centrally yesterday, couldn't tell in the extended highlights. Ahh well maybe something else.
