    Right fellas, Argentina vs Holland?

    I suspect we will see an all European semi finals line up.

    Excellent, well deserved win that. Ronnie crying as the icing on the cake. Would have loved them to score from that wild punt up field at the end.

    Ally McCoist saying it’s not about Ronaldo, doesn’t he know it’s always about Ronaldo?

    Not gonna lie

    Seriously concerned England might win this World Cup

    As a ‘neutral’ you shouldn’t be concerned 😉
    I am neutral

    I've no preference as to who beats England

    Well deserved Morocco.

    Ronaldo, an utter disgrace. Straight off down the tunnel as soon as the final whistle went. Someone needs to have a serious word and give him a right ol slap.

    ITV pundits openly talking about injections (doping) to get players on the pitch for the semi......
    Where's Dan Roan???!!
  • Wonderful result. If England lose tonight, the site of Ronaldo crying and scurrying off down the tunnel will soften the blow considerably!

    I’d like England to reach the final, vs Argentina, and lose via a Messi hand-of-god incident.

    This would have the added benefit p155ing off Ronnie even more.

    After living in England for 58 years I actually thought I’d finally grown out of ABE, but I’ve realised that my late father is still watching me.

  • As a man u fan I loved Ronaldo, up until all his recent shenanigans, now I can't be doing with the t wat, even more so when he walked off....again, crying his b*tch eyes out.

    Part of me hopes Argentina win this world cup just so it finally cements Messi as the goat between the two of them.

    What a sad pathetic winding down of a career we're seeing from a once truly great footballer.

    Foul on Saka but good strike. England will wake up now.

    This ref is having a bad one. He won't give a 50:50 for England all night.

    So biggest divers team so far?

    Uruguay
    Portugal
    England?
  • Meh, you have to be in it to win it.
  • Stonewall pen but I fear Kane's reputation for going down at the slightest touch counted against him.

    To be fair the ref isn't giving easy free kicks to either side.

    England in control since the goal but they need Foden on the ball to create an opening. If he takes control England have a chance.

    If it was deemed a foul but outside the box, would they have gone back for that? Seems like the only way it's not a penalty...

    'kin moneyballers. Grow some. Or stay being some preshuss diva. Like me-me-me-little-Ronnie.
  • No, they only go back for penalty checks or to check possible infringements during a goal scored.

    Game played in a good spirit so far. All to play for.

  • Something tells me Orraloon might be rooting for France 😂

    Interesting that Foden was asking the ref to check something at half time and the ref said he would have a look. Trying to gain a little influence for the second half.
