I’ve said it before - against a team trying to win, we look really bloody good

So Mexico "shipped three against Sweden."

Well, Mexico must have flattered to deceive.

Pickford on fire but defence need to concentrate

Caernarfon_Claret · Post by **Caernarfon_Claret** » Sat Jul 07, 2018 4:29 pm

Pickford has Courtois to thank for firing him up.

Raz · Post by **Raz** » Sat Jul 07, 2018 4:29 pm

our defence is weak....they can't finish it off..

Croydon Claret · Post by **Croydon Claret** » Sat Jul 07, 2018 4:30 pm

Sweden quite capable of scoring. Let's get another one

Raz · Post by **Raz** » Sat Jul 07, 2018 4:31 pm

We should this win although expectations will go through the roof now

Impossible for Tripps to go up in my estimation, but he’s definitely showing the world how good he is.

Agree with the others, though.

12 minutes from the semi final!

Do you think Spurs had Citehs pants down, when they sold them Walker and kept Tripps.

Pray this isn't Southgates Ramsey/Charlton moment as Dier comes on.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sat Jul 07, 2018 4:45 pm

excellent second half performance

Imploding Turtle · Post by **Imploding Turtle** » Sat Jul 07, 2018 4:45 pm

Stupid to kick the ball away, even if it shouldn't have been a foul.

Croydon Claret · Post by **Croydon Claret** » Sat Jul 07, 2018 4:46 pm

Surprised nobody on either post

Don’t get too carried away. Sweden have been awful.

Raz · Post by **Raz** » Sat Jul 07, 2018 4:49 pm

The pace of this game..a few on the other side of the draw must really wonder what would have been if on this side....Sweden haven't turned up really.

Rick_Muller · Post by **Rick_Muller** » Sat Jul 07, 2018 4:52 pm

We’ve been a different team second half, we deserved that

Imploding Turtle · Post by **Imploding Turtle** » Sat Jul 07, 2018 4:52 pm

**** sake. BBC stream died in injury time.

Croydon Claret · Post by **Croydon Claret** » Sat Jul 07, 2018 4:53 pm

Awesome. Exceeded all expectations to get this far and no sign of it stopping

piston broke · Post by **piston broke** » Sat Jul 07, 2018 4:54 pm

I'd like to place on record my thanks to Pep and Poch for all the brilliant coaching they have given these young lads to make them into international players.

HiroshimaClaret · Post by **HiroshimaClaret** » Sat Jul 07, 2018 4:54 pm

BRILLIANT stuff! Well done!!!! My only concern is that Kane, in particular, looks knackered!

Fantastic though!!!

Raz · Post by **Raz** » Sat Jul 07, 2018 4:54 pm

Not great, still building good momentum..we might get a shot in the final....still expect a step up in the semi....

I had that thought. Not the `really bloody good` BUT a Croatia will favour our style.

superb achievement to get to the Semi Final

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sat Jul 07, 2018 5:03 pm

Outplayed them today. Some really good performances and I’m absolutely thrilled for Tripps.

Raz · Post by **Raz** » Sat Jul 07, 2018 5:04 pm

So we want Russian in the semi?

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Jul 07, 2018 5:05 pm

If we don't do it now, with all the huge countries having departed, we never will.

Never.

No Walker is the difference between being an also ran like Spurs and the Champions like City. If we played 4-4-2 Tripps wouldnt get a sniff but this is where Soutbgate needs some props getting them both in looking like potential champions

Croatia for me simply because I think it'll be a better match. I imagine a game against Russia will be horrible to watch.

Possibly/Probably fake

We did enough. I think we are getting better .

Claretmatt4 · Post by **Claretmatt4** » Sat Jul 07, 2018 6:09 pm

Sweden knocked out Italy in the playoffs after bettering Holland in their qualifying group.

They all but Knocked out holders Germany, then they batter Mexico, the dark horses of the tournament.

We beat them and all of a sudden they are ****.

We made Sweden look like Sweden. Nobody else has done that yet.

Henderson hasn't put a foot wrong. Superb awareness.

That was about as stress free as a quarter final in the world cup finals can get. We were magnificent from start to finish and controlled it from start to finish.

Top, top, top performance

I think some credit to Ashley Young who has played as a winger and now a full back for England; the mark of a good footballer. and 33 on Monday

He's still a **** from when i watched him against Burnley at Villa Park, but he's brilliant.

There is absolutely zero chance that you've seen Burnley play at Villa Park.
