Goooooooooooooooooooooooooool

The game took its time to get going. Pretty dull until the first goal. Good for England’s confidence. Swedes not really made a game of it.

Once again, they kept their heads. Pickford, Maguirre and Trippier outstanding.

Hope the Croatians give us a good match in two hours!

Well played England! Professional job.

Some top goalkeeping helped us through to Russia or Croatia. I'll take either of those

Congratulations to you guys. You can now resume normal breathing until Wednesday

The beer will run dry over here tonight. Best England side I have seen for years.

But, they are in a World Cup semi-final. That's what it's about

Indeed.

Hopefully Russia against Croatia will be more entertaining. I turned the England game off and went outside for a bit.

I can understand that. As a neutral I want the beautiful game but right now as an England fan I'll take boring and a victory into the semi-final 

I'm not too sure who I want to win the other match.Croatia are the better side but Russia with home advantage in the semi could be equally difficult? 

[erwbol]

As Alan Shearer said on BBC One at fulltime, a semi against Russia in Moscow would be both memorable and better for England.

[Clunky]

Speaking of neutral, that’s me and the England team for much of the first half. They deserved a win by some margin but the likes of Croatia will give them a fright if they are that tentative next game. 

Pickford is pretty damn great. Arsenal could do with someone with his skill set. Ol , just a half decent goalie would be nice.

Brazil is the girl you'd want to have fun with, playful, alive, unpredictable...crazy. Makes you worry where she really is when not with you.

England is who you'd marry. Wide-hipped, with watery-blue eyes, bland, she just sits home at night...chewing on something.

Neymar is the kind of girl who would become hysterical and falsely accuse you of date rape.

And why would you date a woman with spaghetti hair?

You have to be kidding me! Well, never underestimate the power of a home crowd.  

[mandrill]

Fantastic goal from Russia.

Holy pee tape!

I don't know what'll happen later, but at this juncture England can take on either of these teams...and win. What a lame performance from Croats... they look almost indifferent.

[Brad]

This one will go to penalties. Russia will not permit a goal to be allowed; they will park the bus. If it goes to penalties, I'd favor Russia. Croatia has been poor in the last two matches.

Schwalbe.
