Fair dos to Pickford he's made some really good important saves today
Alli and Sterling have been better even if Sterling still can't finish his dinnerThe only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

It's been a ****ing easy ride to the semi and I see little to worry about. Croatia would be a test but you'd take that before the tournament started. It's a bit like when Greece won euros.
I just can't get excited about it. I have Liverpool fans with me more excited about this than us winning the champions league. Weird.Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won’t expect it back. Oscar Wilde

I thought that that was a much better performance from England than we had seen so far in the tournament so far, Sterling and Alli contributed and while Sterling still can't score he at least showed a threat. Pickford I thought was excellent probably England's best player, made 3 or 4 really good saves. Also I thought that Henderson had a good game protected the back four (made a really good block), played a few good through balls and got around the pitch well.
Sweden were a better side that anyone the first team have faced so far so it was an encouraging performance, Croatia or Russia could be a tougher prospect though (for different reasons), and will again pose more of a threat than they have had so far.Last edited by Exiled_red; 07-07-18, 06:13 PM.The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

Difference with Greece is that they played Spain (drew), France (won) and Portugal (won twice) in Euro 2004.Originally posted by BobTheCharmer View PostIt's been a ****ing easy ride to the semi and I see little to worry about.

Someone within the England set-up has definitely sold their soul for this kind of run.

The draw they have had is mancesque.
