I can't believe how much the ref was against England, so that might be a factor.

I dunno man - Colombia should've had a corner near the end of extra time. I think it was the other way around.
England barely squeezed by. They will get decimated if they keep playing like this against better teams.

Perhaps... but at this pace, the only 'better team' they'll bump into will be in the final.

@wizzard - yeah apparently the Colombians felt hard done by too. I'm not sure I saw any England players head butting or digging up the pitch to gain advantage though. Very stressful evening just like the old days! But was nice dancing around in the street afterwards. You'd have thought we'd won the whole thing.
@sebastian - agreed. In English football talk, we call this 'squeaky bum time'.

Back to business today. I call Uruguay and Brazil through.
Sebastian · Member since
I want Uruguay and Belgium to win, but I think France and Brazil will.
Update: Who would've foreseen that? Wow!

I've made better predictions!

Sweden / Russia today I reckon.

England have been good enough and deserve to be in the semi-final. 2-0 against a Sweden team that beat France in their qualifying group, finished above Holland and beat Italy in the play-off.
Croatia were impressive in the group phase but were lucky to beat Denmark and Russia on penalties. England will be too much for them.
It's coming home, everyone!

Given that football as we know it originated in Scotland (England claim to have invented it, but it in fact was just another version of rugby), international football's first match was in Glasgow and the French invented the World Cup....what exactly is "coming home"? ;) :p

Football was the winner.

Who are worse, England or Argentina fans?
dysan · Member since
In what sense?
greaserkat · Member since
in the sense of "my team is the best and will win the world cup."
