        Just back from the bar, Pickford undoubtedly Man of the Match, arguably Trippier and that was about it, nobody else was above “professional”, Sterling was good, bad and ugly all at the same time.

            Let’s not forget that the reason the route to the Semi Final was easier is because Sweden knocked out Germany and along the way in qualifying they eliminated Italy and beat France too.

              Whatever happens in the rest of this tournament Jim, at least I can hold my head up high around here for a while. I would have had hell for a long time if we’d have gone out to them ?

              Pickford just brilliant

                Nine who is to say we couldn’t have knocked out Germany. Italy wernt good enough to get to the finals that’s how poor they were. Totally irrelevant points imo.

                Enjoy Ed! ?

                  Jim, based on what we saw of Germany we might well of eliminated them but my point really was that Sweden are no slouches considering who’ve they’ve beaten in qualifying and in the Finals.Cheers 999

                      It’s been an entertaining and a bit odd tournament so far with some of the big boys failing – Germany, Spain, Argentina and to an extent Brazil. But Belgium and France are worthy semifinalists. So are England, of course, but to me it seems Belgium and France are a bit stronger. Anything can happen though. As for Croatia vs. Russia, my pick would be the Croatians. They play the better football too, IMO. I’m sure the England fans would prefer to play Russia though.

                      Still happy to see Sweden knocked out. Had they progressed to the semis it would have been a loss for football. Of course any team should do what works best for them, but the Swedish team is just so defensive and unimaginative that it almost hurts to watch them. Even if you don’t have a truckload of flair players, you should still try to create something. In a world cup it’s better to burn out than to fade away. They may have reached the quarter finals which is a good achievement, but they will soon be forgotten because of their crap style of football. At the end of the day you can only defend that kind of defensive approach until the first crucial defeat. If you play that boring football and still lose, then it has all been in vain. The Swedes are not the only ones to disappoint though. Denmark were bad as well in general. I think we had 20 minutes of domination against the Aussies and then we played a good second half and extra time against Croatia only to be undone because of poor penalties.

                          This Fernandes lad for Russia looks good so far?

                          srd79-England vs Russia might not be a very good thing to happen right now,not considering the novitchok cases-again.

                                  England has nothing to fear from either of these 2 teams,can beat them together.

                                      This is unbearable,wish I was drinking with Banjo and the Danish baconmuncher in Malmo or Aalborg instead.

                                        Mav, that wouldn’t be too bad. It would have to be Aalborg. I think you’d have to sell your house to be able to afford a beer in Sweden.

                                          How many current & ex Spurs players are in the semis?! You could probably make a decent ex/current Spurs XI from the remaining sides:

                                          Lloris

                                          Trippier
                                          Walker
                                          Vertonghen
                                          Alderweireld
                                          Rose

                                          Dembele
                                          Alli
                                          Dier

                                          Modric

                                          Kane

                                            Corluka? Wasn’t he at Spurs as well?
