Brazil 1 Germany 7 World Cup SF 2014.

I noticed they beat San Marino 13-0 too sometime back.

Germany 2 - 1 Saudi Arabia (8th June 2018)

A fantastic result that, which ended a run of 5 games without a win including losing to Austria.  Add to that their defeat to Mexico in which they were taken apart and practically a last kick win over Sweden?

English fans are mad  ;D

Not mad just realistic after the so-called golden generation.

I don't wish to be pedantic or picky but,why is the national anthem played before an England game?
England is a part of being national arnt we?
Scotland wouldn't play it would they?
Why don't we have our own?
Can you guys put me straight on this one please.

Colombia - Good on the counter?  They bossed the midfield.  Cuadrado, James and Quintero would walk into our team.

England have gone 8-2 against limited opposition.  Poland are better than either Tunisia or Panama. 

How are England much better?  I would say England and Belgium would be desperate to play Japan.

Sorry, a little thing called work got in the way.

Columbia were good on the counter, did well in the midfield and defended quite well. I do not agree that the three players mentioned would walk into our team, but it is all about opinions.

As to who is better between Poland, Tunisia or Panama, its an academic point as we will never know at this moment. Personally, I thought the Tunisians played well on both occasions, and you could argue that we were lucky. I paid particular attention to Poland last night because of Greg. They just looked bereft of ideas or a plan, and Columbia cut them apart with the better football. They will not do that against England or Belgium, but they will give whoever they play a good game.

I don't mind who we meet in the last 16 - Senegal looked useful last night to be fair, but we have to beat these teams to progress. Confidence appears high in our camp which makes a pleasant change from the past. There seems to be a 'belief' which has not been there recently.

MAGA!

Disagree. Can't say Germany would've done a better job when they look a shadow of their past selves and their results and performances prove as such.

You should know better than to write off Germany.  They're just getting warmed up.

I agree re the anthem.
GSTQ is the anthem of the United Kingdom, and is quite rightly played at events such as the Olympics where it is a Great Britain team

Wales and Scotland have their own, as we do at the Commonwealth games

It is like flying the Union Jack instead of the cross of St George

Like our line up,personally Loftus- Cheek for Ali( seems to be in on past games,not up to his last years work) and Rashford for Sterling.
But I am looking forward to the game with the usual Baggies nervousness.
Engerland 2-0.

Rose doesn't look fit and was very poor the other night. Not that I rate Young. RLC extremely unlucky not to play though.

How the hell does Sterling keep getting into the team? A waste of space.

Don't understand how you can headbutt someone and not get a red card.

And why hasn't the ref stopped then encroaching on free kicks?

Ref is too inexperienced (American), VAR team must be watching a different match. Colombia, though, do appear to be a particularly nasty bunch.

should put in Loftus-Cheek for Alli, I really feel this set up is wasting both Alli and Lingard.

Colombia should replace Barrios, who's lucky to not have a red, with Bacca because Falcao is battling against the 3 CBs and understandably not getting much done.

Needed a strong ref for these type of games, but this guy aint. Colombia are simply going to try more of the same. Hope the England players can keep their heads.

This is another game where England are not getting the correct VAR decisions.

Henderson doing his best Neymar impression.

Sterling doing a weak Barrios impression.
