Whatever momentum we might have lost against Belgium, that is one hell of a curse we've just broken. The belief in the England team will be immense after that.

Just sat here laughing now... Bloody hell...

We've won on penalties! WE'VE WON ON PENALTIES!!! SOUTHGATE YOU ****ING LEGENDARY MIRACLE WORKER!!!!

It's Coming Home!!!!

Get out!

Could see that coming >_

We deserve to go through more than the cynical bunch of cheating ****s we're up against.

Oh bloody hell...

Colombia have run themselves out, need to capitalize.

Looking better this half of ET

Free kick that got them that corner was nowhere near where it should have been taken. Everton all over again.

Ref is weak. We should still come through this ok though.

England would probably have struggled a bit against Japan playing that well. Whether Colombia tomorrow will be any easier... well we'll just have to wait and see.

I reckon the possibility of scoring from a set piece to end the match there gave them a better chance than extra time would have. Obviously it backfired in the worst possible way, but I wouldn't say it was the wrong call.

Blimey. Belgium looked dead and buried there, but their first goal going in by millimetres past the bar (probably not meant?) and suddenly they had belief again. Then they dragged themselves back into it. Can't help but feel for Japan after that. Fine margins. I reckon this is the best World Cup I've ever watched personally.

Yeah, that's the reason there's the caveat that the ref has to judge it to be a genuine attempt to get the ball for it to only be a yellow.

A last ditch tackle has a chance of not being a foul (if made as a genuine attempt). A deliberate handball is always a foul.

Russia, Croatia, England, Sweden, Switzerland, Columbia, Denmark. One of those WILL be in the Final of the FIFA World Cup. Crazy.

It's actually scary how annoying it'll be if/when England mess this up...

Excellent batting performance set the platform for a convincing win. Finals aren't meant to feel that comfortable

Looks like someone's turned the black box off and back on again and got it working again

Always disappointing to lose but you do feel like Belgium dropped a bit of a clanger and gave us the result we wanted. We didn't exactly turn to the bench desperate to turn it around.

Wasn't pretty to watch but in the end Japan have done exactly what they needed to do.

Nailed on.
