Lyn, don’t you mean “for once” and not “once again”? :)

Is China playing? If footballs going home it means China has to win the world cup?

They did do well tonight. Makes a welcome change from the over egoed prima donnas we normally see prancing and diving about the field.

God there are some miserable people on this thread. Haha

Only this forum where everyone feels the need to have a pop on a subject they have no interest in rather than let others enjoy it.

Classy.

I thought they'd lose last time too, so I guess I was referring to "once again" as being how I felt "once again"? I'm confusing myself now :oops:

I’m not a misery. I’m totally fair. I detest both football AND cyclists.

Oh, and lorries should have their own dedicated roads...
I do some road biking and mountain biking, we're not all bad. :D

well, heres something to consider.
If we had Russia in the next round and beat them, it would not have gone down well. BUT, if we beat Croatia, we will be seen by the Russians as the team, that beat the team that knocked them out, and we will all be friends again !!!!!!!

Yes i do remember the 1966 world cup, and yes i was 13 years old, and played a lot of football, and yes i made it to a professional team, Gordon Banks was my idle then, so you can guess what i did on the park. Unfortunately a very bad knee injury which required a lot of surgery finished me before i had a chance, at 15 years old, spending three weeks in Hospital, and walking with a stick sort of put me off the game a bit.
But i still like to follow it, all i can say is WELL DONE TO THE ENGLAND TEAM FOR GETTING THIS FAR.

England winning was unexpected by me, but perhaps I should have more faith.
Southgate appears to have a squad that has no big head superstars but a good close bunch of players in good form.

I hope England can progress to the final and then its all to play for. Croatia are certainly the best team England will have faced so far outside of Group team Belgium.
My head says France or Belgium will win it but here's hoping.

We've got a good change of winning, I'm not that mad on football but am surrounded by people that are.

England have a great chance to beat Croatia and past matches are in Englands favour. I think the final will be England v France.

Those highly overpaid prancing showoffs are winning whats not to like .........................

My only complaint is i was not good enough as a child but I still dreamt of scoring the world cup winner.

I listened to someone on I think question time condemning overpaid footballers (again) why single them out ? there are many people with huge incomes from the sports and entertainment industry at least you know footballers have worked hard for it.
I know quite a few people who are extraordinarily rich and have never worked hard at anything they just inherited.
Not far from me lives a young man (out walking his dog as I type) who has done exactly that, he spends or "invests" millions I'm not sure he can even run.

Too busy playing Cricket ODI ( or rounders as we like to call it) :):p
In seriousness I’m also a 20 year plus in England , English wife and kids so right behind England hope they make it all the way ...this team seem to be a right good bunch of honest footballing lads who work hard for themselves and each other , no squabbling and blame. Southgate is doing a brilliant job imo

We remain in a delusional state of adequacy when it comes to expectations for our team which we appear unable to achieve.

Should be 2 great semi finals ....

As John I am supportive of England and I will say it again that this is the best non ego team England have put together for many a year ... And it “might” come home ...

Sound up for this

From what I've seen don't park it anywhere near football fans!

Anyone know how this ended up in the technical section?
And how it’s still here? Thought it had been moved? Ah well...

Well, I think it's time for us all to get behind the English team to wish them well, whether we are Irish, Scots, or Welsh, we are one big happy family on a small Island, aren't we ? Let's put behind us our petty national rivalries and unite for once.
