    Before all this starts, can I just say that I hate watching teams celebrate when they've won a shoot out. Never feels like a proper win to me

    Penalty shootouts are the perfect way of deciding a game, they cut out the previous two hours of faffing and reduce football to its most basic task, kicking the ball into the goal.

    They're a complete lottery. You simply cannot prepare for them.

    Big after time, but I've never been as sure of anything as I was that Henderson was missing. Apart from that, it was all gravy.

    Yev you miserable cunt. It's funny when we're shit and you do the postmortem but preempting it when we're doing alright makes you an ambulance chasing hate-to-say-i-told-you-so bet-hedging PRICK. If it is coming home you're not allowed to take any joy in it. Arsehole. At least the scouse Baz family victim-complex refusal to fully embrace English identity comes from somewhere, you have no excuse.

    Fuck England and fuck y'all.

    I can't wait for the mighty Swedes to dump you out.

    Also, it would have been nice had the Colombians not spent the whole game trying to kick bodies rather than win the actual match.

    We weren't doing ok, we were doing badly. Look, we won a shootout and given our history it's a huge thing to have happened. But, we weren't very good for the rest of match and nearly muffed this "excellent chance from being in the easier half of the draw". That we're now going into the Sweden game saying exactly the same fucking thing "only Sweden stand between us and the semi-final" is fucking bonkers.

    I could just ignore all that and reduce the posts to "ra-ra teh World Cup is coming home", but that would be delusional when there are so many things we got wrong tonight.

    And if we do somehow win it I'll take as much joy as I please, you massive sausage.

    And does "fully embrace English identity" actually mean "being a moron"?

    I mean, what the fuck are you talking about?

    Genuinely give a fuck about how we played. If we win every game 1-0 from now with a Kane penalty and us fluffing multiple passes, John Stones gifting chances to the opposition and VAR saving our asses, the hype is in full flow.

    Its absolutely, 100% coming home and fuck the 'realist' cunts.

    LETS FUCKING HAVE IT.

    I was gonna mock up Yev telling the broom that "it's coming home" is media-proagated wank but my paint skills are too shit and I cba so just imagine it/someone else do it.

    The problem is that a lot of people (Yev included) expect England to be Brazil 1970. You don't need to look good, or be good, to win a tournament. Germany looked wank in large parts four years ago and Portugal were wank entirely two years ago.

    Just enjoy the ride ffs.

    If we get to the semi's I'll be as positive as the next man, as from then on in it's possible, even if we're playing badly and a semi in itself would be a hell of an achievement. To get through 4 knock out rounds playing that badly would take a minor miracle though and I'm not sure it's ever happened.

    tldr: It's coming home.

    Germany, 2002. They were absolutely fucking despicably bad. Its football, anything can happen, not arsed if Sterling has been poor, Alli has been anonymous, Young has been wank or we're not creating enough. We're in the quarters and I've just had the biggest rush ever as an England fan. What a time to be alive.

    Its is 100% abso-fucking-lutely coming home.

    I really don't, I'm just not prepared to whitewash a bad performance (and a horrible substitution from Southgate) just because we won a shootout.

    I've seen all of the World Cups since 1990 and nobody has won one playing as mediocre as we have so far.

    And on the Portugal point, you seem to be confusing being dull with being bad. Portugal were dull two years ago, there's no doubt about that, but they were still a good team that played well, albeit in a very limited sense.

    If I saw that in us I'd be drowning in bunting.

    Good opening v Tunisia then some nerves and a fuck yeah winner at the death, we battered the shite out of an aggressive Panama (you can only beat who you're up against in knockouts), our shit B team lose to Belgium's shit B team then a penalty shootout win (a fucking penalty shootout win) against Colombia who only got back into the match 4 minutes into injury time with their first legit effort on goal. We've been sound, we aren't world beaters, we never will be, but Colombia offered the square root of fuck all throughout until that goal. Neither did we but we were comfortable. Unless you want to take into account Cuadrado's feckless effort that left the stadium.

    What are we supposed to actually do to win ya over? The number one ranked team in the world looked terrible and went out in the group stages, Spain passed themselves to death, Argentina lol. The only one outstanding performance has been France against the Argies, and even then they got through 4-3. Its a mental world cup, anything can happen.

    Again Yev, its coming home.

    You should be in England, it's proper giddy hysteria the like of which was never seen even in the Golden Generation days. Think it's because the team are quite likeable.

    We do have TVs you know. They might look like that:



    and you might have to watch the game in black and white, but you'll be able to watch it. You also won't understand a single word.

    Joking aside, there's English pubs in most of the big Greek islands so you should be set.

    There's as good of a chance as England will ever have tbf. Sweden won't be a piece of cake but come on. Then it is either Russia or Croatia. The final would probably be tough as fuck but it could also end up being Uruguay.

    IT'S COMING HOME

    I reckon Uruguay might be a bigger challenge for England than say, France.
