McGuire is going to be hot property in 8 days time.

Pickford made three top class saves today without those it could have been a very difficult match.

What was good was how we competed for the challenges and kept going.

I would have liked to have seen more shots, Harry dodged an opportunity and so did Sterling. Lingard had a pop charged down and won us a corner.

Good goals by Harry M. and Delli Alli.

We were not impressive yet functional and now we move forward into the semi's.

not sure I'd fancy Russia with that home support - Croatia looked rubbish against Denmark, I'm sure England can get past them. Belgium v England final... 

If there is going to be any violence that will be the match, let's hope Croatia win.

I would expect any top keeper to make them saves, Sweden are sh*t but you can only beat what's in front of you. There forward hasn't scored in 11 international games.

Is anyone else frustrated that after the years of Lamps, JT and Ashley and one or two others that now England look set for success that our club has no involvement? It's a City, Utd and Spurs fest with a pinch of Liverpool.

The quote of the day:
" If Raheem Sterling shot Tupac, he'd be 47 today "

True yet did you notice Belgium's front three yesterday?

And England match on 

Fair play! Expected more of Sweden.

No reason why England can't make the final for sure !

Well done to England and Jordan Pickford had another very good game in goal today.

We still have Cahill there and Loftus-Cheek is ours too.

If England win the World Cup, Gary Cahill's won everything bar Euros. Wtf?

Either way, we're going to have a World Cup winner in the squad be it Hazard, Courtois, Kante, Giroud, Cahill, RLC unless Croatia/Russia wins the whole thing. And even if Russia wins it, Golovin's gonna cost a fortune.

I've a feeling Russia might just do this...

I think Croatia will win by a couple of goals.

The best Description I've seen of sterling is he runs like a bird that's just noticed it's got arms and is scared by it... 

time to watch mr golovkin

Congrats to Eng for getting this far but man have you been Lucky with whom you played........hope Croatia wins tonight........cuz if Russia put Eng out, its us Chels who will be f**ked.

Only because I picture him without anything on

With the best will in the world I can't understand why Southgate has stuck with him.

She should go watch it with @yorkleyblue, his tv is still in black & white...

Yorkley and I would be too involved in one of our intellectual, high brow discussions to watch the game 

I'm convinced Sterling's weird running style is why he never gets any power behind his shots, he's always off balance.

Same thing happened to Hazard yesterday after opening up Brazil, his shot had no energy.

What you need to remember is the cameras follow the ball nor the running that happens off the ball.

goooooooaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllll

1-1 !

I can, take away his shooting which is terrible, I thought he was easily our biggest threat first half. He drags defenders all over the place and makes some excellent runs. He worries defences, Just does sod all when he gets there.
