Yes, Columbia were no pushover and we thought it was all over for England when Columbia equalised in those extra minutes that were in fact added due to the blatant dirty tactics and mean spirited Columbians.

It was not actually David Attenborough who quoted that Robert but an English footie fan. …….but funny all the same.
So pleased that England won their game against Sweden.
We are watching Croatia v Russia and can't really see a big threat from either side at the moment.
Come on England !! :)

A big plus for E N G L A N D hopefully...…….is that Croatia have had to play two matches on the bounce both going to and extra 30 minutes of play each match...……...every little helps as they say :)

The dream is over for England. Such a big disappointment for everyone involved, but they did themselves and the country proud while it lasted. :)

Exactly Lena and Harry, oh so close, but they played well. Still loyal and faithful to the team!

Great to have your support Eman and knowing that England should have been Three up at half time, but were finally beaten by a stronger team so well done Croatia.

England seemed to run out of steam at the tail end of the tournament...………...but to reach the semi finals is very encouraging for the future :)

England didn't have the hardest teams to beat in this tournament but they played their best and will have learned a lot from the experience. They didn't go down , cheat or fake injuries like other teams with pampered players we could name, but gave the country hope while it lasted and something to cheer for.
Well done Gary Southgate and the England team. !!

Well said Lena and Harry. I heard that fake injury and drama lasted for about 14 minutes. I've been seeing "memes" all over Facebook using that picture. :lol: :lol:
