A little disappointed with that. To bit to much of passing it round and not moving up the pitch. It's the first time I've seen Pickford have to make more meaningful saves. What worries although he's a excellent shot shoot stopper the ball tends to rebouned off him and remain in play allowing the forwards to follow up. What I would like to see him push the ball round the posts or over the bar or even better. Catch it. Can't blame him for the goal it was a fantastic strike. Moving on to Colombia they are a very good team and should not be under estimated.

Some mega goals

What about the 'Expert' Danny Murphy former Kopite defender, very knowledgeable but sometimes I think he must of been the worlds best player to listen to some of his criticisms " he could have done better"

Giroud just scored as I type what a match

Bye bye Lionel

Great game.
Well worth watching.
A deserved win, from 1-2 down, never give up!
A farewell to Lionel?
Certainly a farewell to "Chunky Diego"..

Watching the Belgium game with interest.
I've got them in the work sweepstake, and have placed an extra bet on them to make it to the Semi's at least

0330bst.
Should England progress further, please think of us poor sods on early shifts. Don't go racing out in your cars at 2230 blowing your horns!

Hard enough to sleep in this weather.
Rant over and glad they squeaked through another round.

I feel sorry for Mrs Delph "Sorry love you'll have to look after the baby - I'm going back to play footy with the lads"!
