It is now time to switch to a new Money AM football blog as the world cup is now over and we all look to the future.....World cup 2010 is over, Bravo Espana, and Forlan, once again and bring on the new season !.....I never expected the last thread to be such a success...thanks all.... so this new one might go on for years without the need to edit the title...we shall see...

Here we go again.....miracle if we get through this.....

Dier fucking hoorAYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah!

And another 'F' word: Finally

What a feeling....! well done lads...and Pickford!.....

The hand of God, sorry, Pickford.

:-)

I can't quite believe it......it's deserved by a mile....

My little prayer to god must have done it !....

"England knock Colombia out of World Cup in penalty shootout."

Pardon?

"England knock Colombia out of World Cup in penalty shootout."

Amazing! Poor Columbia. It couldn't have happened to a nicer team. Tee hee hee.

:-)

They cheated so much....England deserved to win.....fabulous moment.....

Q. Do penalty shootout goals count towards the 'golden boot competition'?

A. No. Balls successfully kicked into the goal during a shoot-out do not count as goals for the individual kickers or the team, and are tallied separately from the goals scored during normal play (including extra time, if any).

England go through on penalty shootout shock...never a moments doubt here of course 😂

Some happy little bunnies on here tonight ?

Anyone fancy a rematch with Belgium in the final game ?

Thought we were poor after good start , still well behind top countries in play , unable to run with ball at speed , top teams much slicker more inventive more variation and nous in attack , Lindgarde , Alli , Sterling , not world class . Sweden may suite us better .

Didn't realise Sweden were responsible for our accommodation VIC. What's wrong with the place we have?
On a serious note, Sweden look strong and well balanced. No team is a pushover in cup football but Dil may be right. Belgium v England looks a good possibility.

Awful refereeing last night - but my god how filthy were those south american coke heads

Come on FIFA - do something about it

Well said Joe and how the hell do so many fans from these third world countries afford to go to the World Cup ?

Colombian marching powder.

The Colombians interpretation of soccer on the field and off (Sterling being shouldered by Colombian coach) must be punished by FIFA because that game was not enjoyable at all except for the final result of course, Sweden will be difficult but they don't do sly things like last night, England will need to be far more clinical in the next game !...….fantastic opportunity to progress to the semis !.....

Yeah they crossed a line , i mean they crossed the line .

Very weak refereeing throughout this tournament has just sent the message to certain teams that they can get away with it, and they have sadly.

What VAR has done for the game is unclear and has only confused the issue.

There's something strange going on in some camps , if you remember the Panama team were in total disbelief the Ref was booking them , a bit the same as others like last night , told not to wrestle and seconds later obvious and stupid penalty given . whether they think VAR is there to aid them in their tactics , don't know . But why the Ref stood arguing with them for nearly five mins , don't know that either .
