Another match when I wonder if Toivonen has actually touched the ball so far. Completely invisible on the pitch.

Granqvist needs his own tv detective series.
Can we please have like 6 substitutes in this match.
Yess!!!! Forsberg!!! Finally
That's actually quite bad from Akanji. That wasn't your standard deflection.
"Gotta buy a ticket to win a raffle!"
Sweden.
We'll see how far they manage to shit their way through.
Need Shaqiri and Xhaka going full Gerrard here with the long shots.
RIP phonics. Get in Sweden.
A podcast today pointed out that Sweden have knocked out Holland, Italy and Germany already. It's all a bit name-on-trophy.
Seferovic on to make Berg feel better about himself.
Winner of the 7pm has a bye to the semis.
Don't fuck this up now Olsson.
Both of these are just tragic. Sweden more deserving though.
Lawrenson has just fucking blown his nose into his microphone.
That was next level time-wasting at the corner there by Toivonen.
He didn’t even touch him in the area. All seems a bit pointless
Lol at that call.
Lads it doesn’t really matter the game is over.
Deserved win for Sweden though.
Just blow the fucking whistle and finish the match.
Surely that's the same as the Rojo/Mbappe one which was (inexplicably) given as a penalty?
Surely the Swiss aren't going full Tunisia with the injury time red cards.
Annoyingly, I was going to put my money on Forsberg to score but then I saw his record for Sweden.
So is the Swiss player not sent off?
I don't think it matters if it's a penalty or a foul on that. He was sent off cause he wasn't going for the ball.
@niko_cee: The difference is that here the contact was finished outside the area as well. Mind you, I don't think Mbappe's was a penalty.
Yeah, he's even more (likely to be) sent off if it's not a penalty.
The ref took the red card out again as if to reconfirm the sending off.
I had it on mute (phone) and I saw the ref pointing to the red after the VAR symbol so wasn't sure what he meant.
Croatia, Sweden, Russia or Colombia in the final. Christ.
Switzerland just as expected, Shaqiri doing the exact same thing for 90 minutes straight, Xhaka sending pointless long balls all day long too. Embolo looked alright when he played, should easily have started over Drmic. They’re the most standard team ever.
Phil Neville going home. Moment of the world cup so far.
Scrappiest team in history. We'll win.
No surprise, but Sterling starts. He needs to do something.
Gareth Southgate's ridiculously polished media appearances are starting to irritate me too. If you listen to the words rather than be hypnotised by the same calming tone he uses in every interview he's just talking in cliches.
That said, I'm nervous, so let's be having ya.
I hope we win.
No James.
My main hope tonight is that Gary Neville and his 'Better, this' bollocks isn't on co-comms.
It sounds like you're now as irritated by him as much as I used to be.
Oh Christ, you've got Mark Geiger from MLS? He's a fucking nightmare.
Pickford, Walker, Stones, Maguire, Trippier, Young, Henderson, Alli, Lingard, Sterling, Kane.
Ospina; Arias, Davinson, Mina, Mojica; Barrios, Sánchez, Lerma; Cuadrado, Quintero; Falcao.
Harry Kane should try to get onto Mina as often as possible. His movement will leave that div on his arse. He played on the last day for Barcelona when Levante put five past them and he was to blame for every one. All it took was one clever run and he was left scratching his balls.
Come on England. This is massive, what a buzz there will be around the country for the rest of the week if we can get the win.
The hype has taken over to such an extent that if we lose - and we will, without a fight - I fear mass suicides, whereas if we win it'll be a drunken haze for days.
Got 2-2 and settled during extra time.
Colombia is a bottling nation, you should be alright.
And England isn't?
