FIFA 2018 World Cup Thread

Only got 10 games for Bologna last season

Offside but a fine save none the less

It isn’t as clear cut when it happens in real time you idiot Ray

Sweden playing a game very similar to Ireland. But not sure theres a plan B like under O Neill. Looks to be no provision for going behind

Sterling wouldn’t finish his dinner

Keeper does well again

Sterling playing for corners.

England are miles better than Sweden. 1-0 the absolute minimum they deserve, they’d be well worth 2-0.

Could it be any more obvious why linesmen are not flagging in situations such as that Sterling one? Not to Ray, apparently.

Late miss aside Sterling has played very well and all of England’s best football has come through him

Big save

Why is that?

Awful stuff here. If you didn’t know this was a World Cup quarter final you’d think you were watching a League One game.

Germans bought them up before the tournament. Flights to Samara tough to get at short notice for fans not based in Russia

If it is an England Croatia semi final I’d expect Mandzukic to be in a lot of those positions where Berg found himself against Young at back post. With hopefully similar outcomes to the 2nd leg at Bernabeau in which he had a lot of joy.

This will finish 1-1 yet. Eire made mistake of not getting second goal and sitting back against Sweden

Deary me.

Lovely goal

Deeeelllleeee

Game over.
