England are a distinctly average team in a distinctly average tournament. What seems to be setting us apart from many other teams is a growing togetherness and spirit within the squad.
I was never a fan of Southgate (player or manager) but his demeanor and approach so far has been pretty impressive. He’s obviously tactically more naive than most of the coaches he’s coming up against but, crucially, he seems to learn fast.
You can pick a hundred faults with our performance last night but I prefer to focus on the guts and bottle, and the occasional flashes of quality, that got us over the line.

Nice to see that Nigel Pearson hasn't changed.

Well, that backfired. Still, I suppose he is responsible for sixty percent of their exports.

I see Maradona has called England "cheats" on Argentinian TV and apologised to Colombian fans for the referee last night. He also criticised Pierluigi Collina for appointing last night's ref, and says FIFA were biased towards England (that'll be a first). The fat, odious, drug fuelled little shit never knows when to stop making even more of an absolute idiot of himself does he ? link

Winning on penalties will be a huge mental boost for this group. They'll feel invincible.
We've not peaked yet, Panama were just shit - I think we'll make light work of Sweden 2-0/3-0 and really peak going into the Semi.

The Colombian players last night were the most disrespectful bunch of "footballers" I've ever seen to a referee. They were seriously lucky not to be down to 9 men and yet they have the nerve to moan about us and the ref afterwards?! Btw, Mr Falcao certainly lead by example last night, he was the first player in every situation getting in the refs face waving his arms about and presumably swearing at him so it's no surprise the rest of the bunch followed him. The antics after the penalty was given are beyond words.

How can anyone even question the Kane penalty?

American television: "Gareth Southgate said he's prepared his team for all possible scenarios. It looks like losing your lead in the very last minute wasn't one of them." easier to say in hindsight, but that's actually pretty funny

Colombia has handed in a protest list w 250.000 names on it. They want a replay: Colombia vs England.
Their opinions: 1) They want a referee who is not from the USA. 2) FIFA has to look on the Kane situation again. They're claiming he wasn't pushed. 3) They say the Colombian goal should be counted, even though there were two balls on the pitch.
Fake news? I'm pinching myself.

Just shows them up for the scum they are. Having said that, things like this wouldn’t happen in FIFA actually believed for even a second in their own fair play procedures. How so few reds cards have been issued is beyond me
