I expected Holland to smash these 8-0 after hearing all the messageboard bores bleat on about easy our group was and how ordinary and poor Croatia and the Czechs are.

Looked like he could have just fallen on the ball.

Yeah what I mean is rather than handle it it seemed like he could have just fallen on the ball in an attempt to prevent the Czech player from getting to it.

De Ligt was unluckily losing his footing, but a definite red, and with the aid of VAR they finally got the correct decision, big chance for the Czechs now.

Big, big, big ifs but if this stays the same and if we manage to beat Germany then Austria, Czech Republic, Sweden and Ukraine is all that stands between us and the final

Time left in this game and Germany is about as tough as it will get but what a chance

Denmark, not Austria. And I reckon the Danes will fancy making the final now. But yeah, we have one huge game to give us a great shot of the final. I reckon the Germans will be licking their lips too.

Because the FA asked Gareth ‘will you beat the Czechs’ and naturally he said yes.

Paul passed away in 2010, only a few months after the World Cup finished. They say it’s hard for psychic octopuses to adjust to life after predicting on the world’s largest stage.

Aye course you do, you were criticizing England for winning ugly in the group stage and then praising Italy for winning ugly yesterday. Then you were telling us all Germany will beat England and are huge favorites while saying if England lose it's a failure.
