Russia defending so deep - playing as if they are level or 1 up?!
I think you'll find it's called a Glorious Defeat stance.Russia defending so deep - playing as if they are level or 1 up?!
Just don’t get the wrestling the player down, England’s has three (some given some not) but I have never this anywhere is league football?Stupid in the extreme. Would have been a penalty if it hadn't have been a goal.
A lot of day trippers, probably all localsAmazed that Russian fans - a goal down with an hour left are doing the Mexican wave. Not sure if that shows they know they have no chance and determined to enjoy the occasion - fair play. Can't imagine that would happen at Wembley if we were 1 down in that situation!
It is.Very slow second half!
One more goal in this I reckon but as you say if Spain get it, it’s all overIt is.
I think if Spain score again first now it will be all over. While it stays at 1-1 Russia have a chance of nicking it.
You have to think that if Russia score, Spain can still come back from that, but I can't see the Russians doing so again if they go behind once more.
Errrm...crying? Seriously??
And when did I say we would be going out? All I said was Japan was the easier game and we could well find Colombia tough.
10 out 10 though for some crazily wild exaggeration.
Iniesta might make a differenceI thought Spain looked a real threat in that 3-3 with Portugal but they’ve not been anything close since.
I think you will find I have always maintained that we have a decent chance of winning the whole thing.It's not, you put several moaning post out saying you think we've shot ourselves in the foot.
I'm not blaming you, loads of people I know were the same. In fact, half the country were short sighting at the view of Japan rather than looking at the bigger picture. I am noticing a change in attitude now though, especially as we get closer to the game. More people are starting to get the negative out of their system now having seen the strength of France, who we will now avoid too.
If we beat Colombia I think we would have a real chance at getting to the final. Spain are looking shakey too.
I think the point otis was making is the automatic assumption that we will face Sweden or Switzerland and that we shouldn’t assume the Columbia will be an easy pass. One game at a timeIt's not, you put several moaning post out saying you think we've shot ourselves in the foot.

They don't half pee about with it, especially when they are in front.The Spanish way of playing is very boring and like long ball football is finished having watched them I would be stunned if they won this tournament, Iniesta is the perfect player to bring on and keep the ball but no sure he has the legs anymore to get very far forward
Ironically if we went out to Brazil, our tournament would be a relative success but a failure if we lose to SwedenI think you will find I have always maintained that we have a decent chance of winning the whole thing.
And at no point have I ever said we would be going out. Never, ever said it.
Yeah, exactly.I think the point otis was making is the automatic assumption that we will face Sweden or Switzerland and that we shouldn’t assume the Columbia will be an easy pass. One game at a time
Not been in the game has hefeel sorry for Costa - why have a centre forward and never try to get it to him?
Is he playing then today?Not been in the game has he
Seen him defend once!Is he playing then today?
Does extra time count for the overall win?I see on the SBT Bookies no-one at all had the draw.
A few pennies lost there for everyone.
Don't think so. Think it is 90 mins.Does extra time count for the overall win?
Just 90 minutesDon't think so. Think it is 90 mins.
Maybe Nick can confirm that, but if we had an overall winner we could not have a draw really could we?
Would be nice to see Spain go out. They are their own worst enemies at times, thinking they can just stroll on through.If the Russians win this, it would give England an even bigger opportunity to make the final (yes I know I'm jumping a few guns!)
