Excitement is building.......

[LancsGordoRoad]

...as the country riddled with gun crime and cocaine prepares to take on Columbia ...

 

[LSB2]

Let's hope that if Columbia do lose, all their players survive!

If we lose, no worries, The Press will slaughter ours for us.

 

[jokerman]

Are we one of the status quo clubs waiting to be overturned in this World Cup of surprises or are we a breath of fresh air with our fun-loving young upstarts? Surely this needs to be sorted before we get out on the pitch?

 

[Oranjeboom]

I'm fairly sure we can beat a small district in the USA.

 

[ThreeSixes]

Sky Sports reckon that Fabian Delph isn't on the bench, as his wife is giving birth to their 3rd child!? That can't be true can it?

 

[Skullduggery Pleasan]

I have a very bad feeling.

I hope it was just the curry I've eaten......

 

[jokerman]

Here's a distraction

Delph can't be on the bench as he is back in England, for the very reason you state. Some might say its a blessing he's not on the bench.

 

[Wayne.Kerr]

Young and Sterling not very effective, I'm afraid.

 

[jokerman]

Nothing's quite worked for Sterling, but he is in the thick of things all the time, including in the tunnel.

 

[Hardy31]

Penalty - no brainer!!

 

[Hardy31]

Henderson - Prat!!

 

[Hardy31]

Lovely penalty!

 

[Hardy31]

Oh bollocks - for the sake of 60 seconds!!

 

[Trashbat]

How many free kicks has Kane won?

How dirty are Columbia?

How many touches does Stirling need to control a pass to feet?

Isn’t Stones good?

Hope we smash Columbia out of the park. England deserve it.

 

[jokerman]

Thought we were grinding them down until the last ten minutes, and then we seemed to disappear from three quarters of the pitch and they were grinding us down. Did we run out of gas?

Big test now.

 

[Hardy31]

No, just took the foot off, thinking we had it sorted!

 

[Hardy31]

I think we have conceded this game, from the way we played the first half of extra time. It was completely different to the harassing style we played for the first 80 minutes of normal time.

Blimey, this thread suddenly went very quiet, did something exciting happen?
