This commentator needs to shut up for a bit.

A bit?

That t-shirt they keep showing has a bloke on it who looks nothing like Bobby Moore.

[egg]

Nice result, shit performance, but it's a results business so all good. 

No yellows either. 

James back. Morgan looking sharp. Spence looking half decent. 

Bring on Wednesday. Hopefully Kane will turn up. 

[sadoldgit]

We are not France. We are not Spain. But we are in the semi finals 🥳

[skintsaint]

the Kane v Haaland game...both were shite.

I thought it was supposed to be Geoff Hurst. Nothing like him either..

[Sheaf Saint]

It was a far from perfect performance, but I thought we were worthy winners in the end.

Tuchel getting very annoyed with the interviewer! 

[Stripey McStripe Shirt]

Tuchel lossed off at the interviewer. Good man.

[SNSUN]

Tuchel gonna punch Gabriel Clarke in a minute.

[whelk]

We won, Bellingham got the winner in extra time and we held on. 😝

Hopefully Rice clears the Pedigree Chum bum out of his system by Weds as well.

Just shut the fuck up Matterfce

He’s such a boring cunt, the fucking skate wanker. Trying so hard to have an iconic commentary moment.

One of the joys of the fire stick is being able to watch these matches with a different world broadcaster and commentator.

[John Boy Saint]

On my Holibobs in Spain - barman said “hope it doesn’t go to extra time” as I ordered my drinks before kick off. 
I told him at full time you had to open your mouth. 🤣
Half time of extra time “Barman 14 portions of chips please” (for those of us left) - “you know where the kitchen is - chips are in the freezer”. 
he did add that he was glad there was no Argentinian or Swiss on the campsite. 
Bacon and Eggs and the Archers after a lay in - Come on England!

Tuchal's interview...

Just how good has Bellingham been for us in this WC?

How good was it to see Haaland go off?

Two players should not have started. One because he was not fit. The other because he isn’t good enough. Fair play for the changes at half time.

Surprised Tuchel kept Kane on.   Fresh legs of Rashford might have been a better option.     Burn once again an astute, late defensive reinforcement.

[sadoldgit]

We are so reliant on Bellingham  and Kane. We really need others to step up if we want to win this thing.

Very average team. But you need a bit of luck and England have lots of that.

[die Mannyschaft]

Not sure what tge defenders were doing today. Too much ball watching, not tackling enough first half, some terrible positioning.  I would play a slightly higher line. Its seams the more crowded England box is the confused defenders are in deciding what to do. Could of had a few more goals but at least kept going, just leaving it late. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

I can see why Eze didn’t start the game - his defensive game is quite poor and looked like he hadn’t woken up to the fact that we were in WC QF when he came on.

Bellingham obviously the star of the show, but big shout out to Dan Burns who once again lent his stature to a shaky English defence.

Not the best England performance but Norway pressed well and limited us. Despite what TT says, the players were clearly attempting to conserve energy early on and in the end we looked the stronger team. Not only that but we had two French officials that conspired to let a number of Norways fouls go unpunished and of course denied us a 60-40 pen decision.

[qwertyell]

England's last five major tournaments: World Cup semi finals, Euros runner up, World Cup quarter finals, Euros runner up, World Cup semi finals*. 

Must be the best run of form we've ever had, and yet I can't really remember us playing well at any point. 

Funny old game. 

[HarvSFC]

I personally think we're owed a World Cup victory after the shambles at the end of last season.

[Saint Pete]

Argentina taken to extra time by 10 man Switzerland. I'm sure they will scrape through but they are very average and were lucky to get this far due to Egypt's implosion in the last 16. Every chance for England to make the final if we turn up on Wednesday night.

Eliot Anderson was the best player on the pitch IMO.

Hopefully last night hasn't taken too much out of Anderson, Kane and Bellingham. Atlanta will be circa 30 degrees and humid too.

It will be an interesting selection for Wednesday.

Does Saka still need his minutes controlled?

Is Rice fit enough?

Is anyone too tired?

Spence or O'Reilly?

Right back?

Put a man on Messi? James and Anderson in the CM?

 

I'd probably go with:

Konsa Guehi Stones O'Reilly

James Anderson

Rogers Bell Gordon

Kane

 

But if Rice is fully fit, he comes in for Stones and James moves to RB.

Super subs, Spence, Rice and Saka to come on and win it later.
